In Class Lab – Stereonets and Slope Kinematics
• Define line directions on polar plot
• Defining a plane
– Pole, Dip Vector, great circle
• Define plane based on two lines (plane is the locus of all coplanar lines)
• Defining a friction angle as small circle (polar plot)
• Kinematic failure analysis of block and wedges
