A review of information on the influence of plan curvature on rock slope stability and its effect on the volume of wedge failuresBy R. Armstrong
The stability of rock slopes is significantly influenced by their curvature in plan view. The importance of this in open pit mining is indicated by the fact that, in a deep pit, steepening of the slop
