Understanding Elevation Grade
What is Grade?
Grade (or slope) represents the steepness of an incline, commonly used in construction, landscaping, and road design. It can be expressed as a percentage, degree angle, or ratio.
Common Applications
- ADA ramp compliance (maximum 8.33% grade)
- Driveway design (typically 10-15% maximum)
- Proper drainage (minimum 2% for water flow)
- Road construction (usually under 7% for safety)
