Foliation

Soils can be introduced with foliation. It means that along an angle specified in terms of a certain interval, which in turn is introduced as one of the soil parameters  <Starting Slope ; End Slope> the soil experiences significantly different (usually worse) parameters (c a φ).

If the slope of a slip surface segment or the slope of interface between blocks is assumed within the interval <Starting Slope ; End Slope>, the analysis proceeds with the modified parameters of c and φ.
