Excavation of filter bed media
Excavation of filter bed media
(OP)
I have been asked by a colleague on site to advise on the angle of repose of 40mm stone media in a filter bed.
They have to excavate a maximum of 1.8m to the base of the bed by hand.
My initial thoughts are 30deg as a maximum but with the material being stone I feel it will probably be a case of dig it and see!!
Any thoughts on a more rigorous answer to the problem appreciated.

We're going to dig and see what happens but use 30degs for initial volume calcs!
