  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    This means that for every 4 units (feet or metres) of horizontal distance there is a 1 unit (foot or metre) vertical change either up or down." [3] Any of these may be used. Grade is usually expressed as a percentage - converted to the angle α by taking the inverse tangent of the standard mathematical slope, which is rise / run or the grade ...

  5. Drainage gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_gradient

    Typically on straight road sections, the drainage gradient is at least 1–3% due to the normal cross slope of 1–3%. In curved sections the drainage gradient is higher, and may often reach 5–12% due to superelevated CS that may reach 5–8% in areas with icy roads and up to 12% in areas without icy roads.

  6. Open channel spillway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_channel_spillway

    Nappe flow regimes occur for small discharges and flat slopes. If the discharge is increased or the slope of the channel is increased, a skimming flow regime can occur (Shahheydari et al. 2015). Nappe flow has pockets of air at each step whereas skimming flow does not. The onset of skimming flow can be defined as: (d c)=1.057*h - 0.465*h 2 /l ...

    Longer bridges can reduce the width of both shoulders to 4 feet (1.2 m). Existing bridges can remain part of the Interstate system if they have at least 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) lanes with 3.5-foot (1.1 m) shoulder on the left and a 10-foot (3.0 m) shoulder on the right, except that longer bridges can have 3.5 feet (1.1 m) shoulders on both sides.
