Q.J.ENGNG .GEOL. ,vg,N2,1976,PI19-12~. The composite net, a combination of a polar equal area net and the great circles of a Schmidt net, simplifies the rapid analysis of rock slope stability by Markland's method. It reduces the number of overlays necessary to one plain t r ~ p a r e n t sheet and reduces to one the n ~ e r of rotations of the overla7 during the ~raphical constru=ticks.

The boundJ~ry geometry of the backfill, the foundation, and the com~esslbility of the foundation -~terial intimately affect the m~nltU~e and distribution of the relnforcing strip forces. Desisn procedures based on possible failure modes for the determination of sizej spacit~, and length of reinforcing strips are considered. Auth.
