13. A vertical sided rectangular tank ABCD is to be constructed such that sides AB and AD have lengths 60 m and 30 m, respectively. The formation level is to change uniformly from 82 m above datum along AD to 80 m above datum along BC. Readings were taken with a level in the following order: Rod Reading (m) Rod Station BM near A BS 1.085 Elev 87.64 m IFS 2.230 GL at A IFS 2.580 GL at D FS 1.755 GL at E (The intersection of AC and BD) BS 1.595 GL at E IFS 0.995 GL at B FS 1.145 GL at C Estimate the amount of excavation required in the construction of the tank.(GL-ground level)
