摘要：
This paper presents a case study of a failure in an urban slope. A geotechnical characterization of the area was undertaken and kinematic analyses carried out to identify the failure mechanism using horizontal and inclined hemisphere projections. The volume of the rock block was estimated using graphical and analytical techniques; the results were very close to the situation observed in the field.
