Trucking Ramp
Trucking Ramp
(OP)
I am sarting a deep foundation project and I need to design a ramp for the entry and egress. Is there a standard slope used on ramps? I have a deep hole and not a lot of wiggle room. I need to know the max slope I can go and still have these trucks drive out with 23tons of ex.

Good guess, but don't forget about rain, the insitu soil that will be deposited on the surface, some oil seepage from the vehicles, and a comfortable factor of safety.
Or...ask an articulate truck driver with gray hair (LOL).

If your firm has good relationships with any earthwork contractors and/or suppliers, give some of them a call. I would bet someone would be happy to advise for free, or over a complimentary lunch.
