Theory of Planar Failure in RocPlane

In this article we explain the basic concepts behind planar failure analysis of rock slopes. We also discuss the geometric conditions that must be present in order for planar rock slope failure to occur, and we briefly examine the underlying assumptions for such failure modes. (RocPlane 2.01, 01/02)
