    Angle of discontinuity vs. friction angle.

    I was not aware of that. I won't make any new topics regarding any type of student questions. Thank you for your reply. But what about water in the discontinuity?. It could reduce the resisting force so the driving force becomes bigger than the resisting force. Could it slide away? Because the...

    Angle of discontinuity vs. friction angle.

    Hi, I'm a student who is studying for a degree of civil engineering. I have the following question: If you're let's say about 500m in the ground and there's a discontinuity under an angle of 20 degrees. The cohesion of the discontinuity can be neglected and the friction angle is 30 degrees...
