Angle of Repose
The angle of repose is a measure of the steepest slope at which bulk granular materials can naturally rest without sliding or collapsing. It varies depending on the material’s properties such as friction and cohesion.
- The concept applies to various materials like sand, flour, seeds, and more.
- Critical in understanding sediment transport and stability.
- Influences engineering projects such as building dams and retaining walls.
