The formula to calculate the slope of a retaining wall is:
\[ \text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Height}} \]
Where:
A retaining wall slope is the angle at which a retaining wall is designed to hold back soil. It is an important factor in the stability of the wall, as it helps to determine the wall's ability to resist the lateral pressure of the soil it is retaining. The slope is typically expressed as a ratio of horizontal distance to vertical distance, indicating how much horizontal space is needed for each unit of height to ensure stability.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the slope:
\[ \text{Slope} = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \]
Therefore, the slope of the retaining wall is 2.
