Side slope
For stability of a dyke side slope is required. The side slope mainly depends on soil texture and prevailing site condition. The flatter the slope, the more stable will be the dyke. The ideal slope is 1.5:1 to 2:1
Type of soil - Side slope
Clayey soil - 1:1
Loamy soil - 1.5:1
Sandy soil - 2:1
Loose soil - 2.5:1
