What is Grade Slope?

The grade slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a surface. It is calculated as the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run, expressed as a percentage. This is commonly used in construction, road design, and landscaping to determine the slope of a surface.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Divide the grade rise by the grade run:

\[ \frac{GY}{GX} = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2 \]

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[ GS = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\% \]

So, the grade slope is 20%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Divide the grade rise by the grade run:

\[ \frac{GY}{GX} = \frac{15}{75} = 0.2 \]

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[ GS = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\% \]

So, the grade slope is 20%.
