Abstract
Stability analysis for rock wedges bounded by three planar discontinuities is a time-consuming procedure usually carried out by stereographic projection. An algorithm is presented which identifies the behavior mode for wedges and calculates the factor of safety more accurately than is possible by graphical methods. The upper and lower hemisphere stereographic projections also are plotted. This is the standard presentation format and it allows a visual check of the influence of assumed geometries and friction angles.
