Slope Correction for Slopes of 10 Percent or Less Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Slope Correction = Difference in Elevation^2/(2*Unsupported Length)
Cs = ΔH^2/(2*U_l)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Slope Correction - (Measured in Meter) - The Slope Correction is the adjustments made to measured or calculated values to account for the inclination of the land or the slope of the ground surface.
Difference in Elevation - (Measured in Meter) - Difference in elevation is the vertical distance between two points, indicating how high or low one point is relative to the other.
Unsupported Length - (Measured in Meter) - Unsupported Length is the span or distance between supports or points of restraint for a structural member, such as a beam or a column.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Difference in Elevation: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Unsupported Length: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Cs = ΔH^2/(2*U_l) --> 15^2/(2*9)

Evaluating ... ...

Cs = 12.5

What is the Effect of neglecting Slope Corrections in Surveying?

Neglecting slope corrections in surveying can result in errors in the measured distances and consequently affect the accuracy of the survey. These errors can compound over long distances or on steep slopes.

What is Slope and Slope Corrections?

The slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
Slope corrections in surveying refer to adjustments made to measured horizontal distances to account for the slope of the ground.

How to Calculate Slope Correction for Slopes of 10 Percent or Less?

Slope Correction for Slopes of 10 Percent or Less calculator uses Slope Correction = Difference in Elevation^2/(2*Unsupported Length) to calculate the Slope Correction, The Slope Correction for Slopes of 10 Percent or Less formula is defined as the measure of the adjustments made to account for errors introduced when measuring slopes that are relatively shallow (i.e., less than or equal to 10%). Slope Correction is denoted by Cs symbol.
