Perform kinematic analysis for rock slopes to identify planar, wedge, and toppling failure modes.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for rock mechanics and slope stability analysis. It allows AI agents to evaluate the risk of different failure modes using stereonet principles. Use analyze_planar_failure to check for sliding along a single plane, analyze_wedge_failure to evaluate the intersection of two discontinuities, and analyze_toppling_failure to assess rotational instability. Finally, use get_slope_recommendations to receive engineering mitigation strategies based on the identified risks.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

analyze_planar_failure

Determines if a single discontinuity is prone to sliding along its plane

get_slope_recommendations

Provides engineering guidance based on the results of previous kinematic analyses

analyze_toppling_failure

Evaluates the risk of blocks rotating out of the slope due to steep, near-vertical discontinuities

analyze_wedge_failure

Identifies potential instability caused by the intersection of two discontinuity planes

Check if a slope with a 45 degree dip and 180 degree direction is prone to planar failure with a joint dipping at 30 degrees in the 180 direction and a 25 degree friction angle.

The analysis shows that the slope is prone to planar failure because the joint dips in the same direction as the slope, the joint dip is less than the slope dip, and it is greater than the friction angle.

Analyze a wedge failure for a slope dipping 50 degrees at 90 degrees, with two joints: one at 30 degrees/45 degrees and another at 35 degrees/135 degrees, with a 20 degree friction angle.

The wedge failure analysis indicates that the intersection line daylights in the slope and its plunge exceeds the friction angle, making it prone to instability.

What are the recommendations for a slope facing planar and wedge failures with a 30 degree friction angle?

For the identified planar and wedge failures, the suggested mitigation is to use bolting or anchoring to stabilize the rock mass.

The server can analyze planar, wedge, and toppling failure modes using `analyze_planar_failure`, `analyze_wedge_failure`, and `analyze_toppling_failure`.
