Hi everyone,

I am trying to model joint in a slope to induce strength anisotropy in the slope. My model goes like this:

1) Angle = 90 degrees , Rock Mass and Intact Rock strengths are known. Joints are at an angle of 30 degrees to horizontal and spacing of 0.5m.

Problem: Slide 2D doesn't explicitly have any options for joints. So it should be modeled as a weak layer.
