| step-path failure dislocare/defect/cedare de tip treaptă Explanation: In geomorphology, they talk about all these defects, failures of rock structures, slide mass description, etc. Here are some examples: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169555X11... “Terrestrial digital photogrammetry is used in the characterization of the failure surface morphology, which is subdivided into four types of step-path geometry comprising both pre-existing discontinuities and intact rock fractures. Incorporation of these data into various rock slope stability numerical modeling methods highlights a complex failure mechanism, which includes sliding along a large scale curved failure surface, intact rock bridge fracturing and lateral confinement.” http://www.rockslide.ethz.ch/Phase2/numerical “The presence of any low dipping natural discontinuities would further aid the process, aligning to form a stepped shear plane that could accommodate further movements and eventually kinematic release of the slide mass (e.g. step-path failure).” http://www.referat.ro/referate_despre/alunecarile_de_teren-m... “treaptă de alunecare” http://www.scribd.com/doc/56047299/alunecari-de-teren "cedare de tip plană, pană, treaptă" |
