Updating the probability of failure of rock wedges

In hard rock masses, discontinuities control the slope stability, rather than block matrix breakage. The relative position of joints and slope face defines the most likely mechanisms of failure. Among these mechanisms, the wedge failure is one of the most common ways of failure in which joint sets d...
