Hi,
I'm in need of a clarification regarding the forces that act at an obliquity "phi" to the circular arc (slip surface), when looking at the friction circle method for slope stability.
What are those forces?
Why do they act in the direction they do (at an angle "phi", which is the internal friction angle, from the normal to the slip surface)?
I put a scheme of the method in the attachment if someone needs it. (
Perhaps it's just some kind of assumption for the purpose of the method that I'm missing here...
Any help is appreciated!
