Slenderness ratio of a column is represented as :

1. Effective length/Cross-sectional area
1. Effective length/Radius of gyration
1. Actual length/Cross-sectional area
1. Actual length/Radius of gyration

Slenderness Ratio = Effective length
Radius of gyration

Slenderness ratio is the ratio of the length of a column and the least radius of gyration of its cross section. Often denoted by lambda. It is used extensively for finding out the design load as well as in classifying various columns in short/ intermediate/long.

As per CPWD handbook on Barrier Free and Accessibility 2014, maximum gradient of ramp should be 1 : 12. It means to raise a height of 1 m (1000 mm), it requires 12 m (12000 mm) length of ramp.
Thus, to raise a wheelchair to height 600 mm, it requires 12 × 600 = 7200 mm = 7.2 m ramp
