Scientific paper

As the first phase of a larger project investigating the rock mechanical properties of the brittle upper Venus crust, a slope stability analysis was performed for a Venusian scarp of remarkable dimensions to determine admissible cohesive and frictional parameters. Two-dimensional analyses of the scarp and vicinity, performed using the Janbu method and program XSTABL, provide limiting values of rock-mass cohesion and friction angle for stability of this 700 m high, 6 degree dipping scarp. The results of these calculations are consistent with the stable, unfailed morphology of this slope and rock-mass strength parameters previously suggested for near-surface rocks on Venus.
