(grade) A degree of inclination, or a rate of ascent or descent, with respect to the horizontal, of a road, railroad, embankment, conduit, or other engineering structure; it is expressed as a ratio (vertical to horizontal), a fraction (such as m/km or ft/mi), or a percentage (of horizontal distance).  6, record 2, English, - slope

(gradient) The degree of slope of a pipe invert or road or land surface. Often expressed as a ratio (3:1, 6:1) in feet or meters, or as a percentage (2%, 30%). The gradient is a measurement of the slope height as related to its base.  5, record 2, English, - slope

Pentes. Ces «sols construits» peuvent être relativement perméables [...] ou bien ils sont totalement réfractaires à la pénétration de l'eau [...] Même pour ceux qui sont capables d'absorber une petite pluie, il est bon de prévoir qu'ils ne pourront évacuer rapidement une pluie d'orage ou des précipitations prolongées. Il est donc indispensable de leur donner une pente minimum pour faciliter le ruissellement; il suffira de 1 à 2 cm par mètre.  4, record 2, French, - pente
