Kinematic analyses are essential for identifying potential detachment mechanisms in rock masses, influenced by fracturing, direction, and slope. Traditionally, these utilize digital stereographic templates to assess whether fracture orientations dips predispose the mass planar sliding, wedge failure, or toppling. However, natural formations often exhibit complex geometries with varying overhangs, complicating standard assumptions of directional uniformity. This study addresses such...
