Need to know how to build the correct slop for a wheel chair ramp so it's not too steep.

Any drawings or formula for this?

Thanks,

There's a lot of info if you Google: ADA wheelchair ramp specifications

You might not find a set of plans but there are plenty of guidelines as far as slope, rise, widths, etc.

Slop(e) should be 1"in 12" to satisfy the ADA. Sometimes it requires landings and turns in order to keep the ramp in the same county.
