In Class Lab - Stereonets and Slope Kinematics: - Pole, Dip Vector, Great Circle

This document discusses an in-class lab on stereonets and slope kinematics. The lab covers defining line directions and planes on a polar plot, including defining a plane using its pole, dip vector, and great circle. Students also define planes based on two lines and define friction angles as small circles. The lab concludes with performing kinematic failure analysis of blocks and wedges using stereonet plots.
