Description

Objectives

This course presents the principles and application of stereographic projections, illustrated by numerous interactive figures. The course is divided into three parts.

  • Part 1 - Geological Structures introduces the concept of orientation of geological structures.

  • Part 2 - Stereographic Projections demonstrates the principles of projecting the relative orientation of geological features onto a stereonet.

  • Part 3 - Types of Failure shows the methodology of plotting, processing and interpretation of structural geology data for the purpose of stability analysis of rock slopes and underground excavations.
