The entire sliding wedge a'bc will be intersected by sliding surfaces ... which are parallel to cb. Thus the shearing strains throughout the entire mass of the wedge a'bc, except quite close to the wall, will be of the same order of magnitude, and the full frictional shearing resistance to sliding of the soil will be mobilized simultaneously. 2, record 1, English, - sliding%20wedge

Le coin glissant a'bc, tout entier, est découpé par des surfaces de glissement (...) qui sont parallèles à cb. Ainsi, les déformations de cisaillement à travers toute la masse du coin a'bc, sauf tout près du mur, sont du même ordre de grandeur, et toute la résistance de frottement au cisaillement du sol se trouve mobilisée. 3, record 1, French, - prisme%20de%20rupture
