I have been researching pier type foundations and am thinking of building forms to cast piers that would be 5 feet high with one foot above ground and would taper from 22x22 at the bottom to 8x8 at the top. I looked at the sonotubes with feet and various other methods, but the tapered column could be formed with willow lumber which I can produce very cheaply and which is not good for much else. Our Amish neighbors poured a tapered top like this over a round 24" footer and I talked with another neighbor who had put 55 gallon drums in the ground and filled them with concrete. I am wondering if there is a formula for finding the volume of this shape, sort of like the Washington Monument but without the pointy bit on top. Any advice will be much appreciated. I am not even sure if there is a name for this shape or not, if there is I either never learned it or have forgotten. Zach
