1. Describe the difference between maximum allowable slope and actual slope. 2. Observe how the angle of various sloped systems varies with soil type. 3. Evaluate layered systems to determine the proper trench slope. 4. Illustrate how shield systems and sloping systems interface in combination systems.

Answer: For every 2 feet you move horizontally, you move up or down 1 foot. As you drive down the interstate highway, 2:1 slopes always have guardrail along the edge of the pavement. You typically can view this slope from an on or off ramp. Some slopes are flatter, such as 4:1 or …

Mar 18, 2013 · (2) "Toe of slope" means the point at which the side of an excavation intersects the lowest level of the excavation. (3) "Trench" means an excavation having a depth greater than its width measured at the bottom. (4) "Trench jack," means a screw or hydraulic jack used as a brace in a trench shoring system.

Slope Configurations Excavations In Layered Soils Excavations Made In Type A Soil Benching There are two basic types of benching, simple and multiple. The type of soil determines the horizontal to vertical ratio of the benched side. As a general rule, the bottom vertical height of the trench must not exceed 4 ft (1.2 m) for the first bench.

Excavation Slope. Example: This example shows an excavation with an average depth of 10'. A 1/2:1 slope means the excavation must be sloped 1/2 unit for each 1 unit of depth. For a 10' depth the slope will extend within 5' of the edge of the excavation. A 1:1 required slope with slope to 10' of the edge of where the average depth begins.

For a triangular channel with sideslopes of 1:1 and 2:1, flowing 0.3 meters deep, the hydraulic radius, R, equals 0.12 m. Table 34 lists ditch velocities as a function of roughness coefficients and grade, and Figure 88 provides a nomograph for the solution of Manning's equation.

sloped to within 1.2 metres (4 feet) of the trench bottom (Figure 8). For Type 3 soil, cut walls back at a gradient of 1 to 1 from the trench bottom (Figure 9). For Type 4 soil, slope the walls at 1 to 3. That's 3 metres back for every 1 metre up from the trench bottom (Figure 10). Although sloping can reduce the risk of a cave-in, the angle
