What is the formula for calculating the volume of a quonset hut?
I assume that by quonset you are talking about a half-cylinder (ie: cut a pop-can in half like so: O becomes ( ); a half-circle that extends backwards). Just find the volume of a cylinder and divide by two. pi*r^2*L/2 So, multiply pi by the radius of your quanset squared multiplied by the length of your quanset and the divide by two. That is the volume of your quonset.
