Improved characterization and analysis of bi-planar dip slope failures to limit model and parameter uncertainty in the determination of setback distances
A dip slope is a natural or man-made rock slope with a persistent discontinuity behind the slope face that is coincident with, or similar to the slope inclination. Most dip slope failures occur in weak, orthogonally jointed sedimentary rock with toe breakout involving sliding along joints, plastic...
