As someone who has been involved with 'Civil' Engineering in the past I can
tell you (from memory) the 'Angle Of Repose' for topsoil and spoil is 55
degrees (from the horizontal, of course), I have *no idea* what it is for
bull****.....

Funny, I thought you would have intimate knowledge of that figure.....

BTW, shouldn't that depend on soil composition and water content?
Also, why is that 'civil' engineers never are? Hairy-arsed brickies by
nature, all the ones I've ever met! Universally known in colleges as
'thick civs'..........................
