For every 3 feet of horizontal run, there is a vertical change of 1 foot of assent or desent. i.e.: if the bank is falling away from the top of the slope towards the toe of the slope ata rate of 1 foot drop for every 3 feet horizontal, or away from the top, the ratio of desent is 3:1 (3 feet out for every 1 foot down).

When is a slope ratio more than 1?

A slope ratio is more than 1 when the vertical change (rise) between two points is greater than the horizontal change (run). This occurs in scenarios where the angle of the line is steep, resulting in a steep incline. For example, if the rise is 5 units and the run is 3 units, the slope ratio is 5/3, which is greater than 1. In general, a slope ratio greater than 1 indicates a steep ascent.


How do you convert slope into feet?

To convert slope into feet, you need to understand that slope is often expressed as a ratio or a percentage. For example, a slope of 10% means that for every 100 horizontal feet, the elevation changes by 10 feet. If you have a slope ratio (like 1:10), it indicates that for every 10 horizontal feet, the elevation changes by 1 foot. To convert this into feet, simply multiply the horizontal distance by the slope ratio to find the vertical change in elevation.
