Application of Vectorgraph in Appraisal of Slope Stability
Zhuang Shi-liu · Soil Engineering and Foundation · 2004
The chief factor to dominate the stability of rock slope is structural planes in the rock . Generally, the evalution of stability of the rock slope is analyzed by the relationship between the structural planes in the rock and the plane of slope . Both plane of the slope and the structural plane in the rock may be showed by vector with polar coordinates .The relationship between the structural plane and the plane of the slope can be reflected exactly with their vector. A new method for evaluation of the stability of the slope based on is pricpiple was discussed in the paper.
