angle of repose means the steepest angle of a surface at which a mass of loose or fragmented material will remain stationary in a pile on the surface, rather than sliding or crumbling away;
angle of repose means the angle at which a cut or fill slope will stand naturally;
angle of repose means the maximum angle of slope (measured from horizontal) at which loose cohesion materials will come to rest on a pile of similar material.
More Definitions of angle of repose
angle of repose means the maximum slope angle of non-cohesive (i.e. free-flowing) granular material. It is measured as the angle between a horizontal plane and the cone slope of such material. ANGLES OF REPOSEAngle of Repose
angle of repose means the steepest angle of a surface at which a mass of loose or fragmented material will remain stationary in a pile on a surface, rather than sliding or crumbling away; “Batch plant” means machinery, appliances or other similar devices that are assembled in such a manner so as to be able to mix materials in bulk for the purposes of using the mixed product for construction work;
angle of repose means the maximum slope at which a heap of any loose or fragmented solid material will stand without sliding or come to rest when poured or dumped in a pile or on a slope. (Dictionary of Mining, Mineral, and Related Terms, Hacettepe University Department of Mining Engineering)
angle of repose means the steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane to which a material can be excavated or stockpiled without slumping. The angle of repose can range from 0° to 90° or be described as a ratio of horizontal and vertical distances (e.g. 2:1 means 2 horizontal units of measure for 1 vertical unit of measure).
angle of repose or “Angle of Rest” means the maximum slope at which a heap of loose material will stand without sliding;
angle of repose means the steepest angle of a surface at which a mass of loose or fragmented
angle of repose means the angle at which a slope becomes stable;
