Default vertical with semicircle of radials


What is the effect of having a semi-circle of radials beneath a
vertical antenna instead of a complete circle? For example if your
vertical is near a property line. I vaguely remember reading that the
azimuth pattern would no longer be omni-directional and there would be
a change in the elevation of the main lobe. But my memory is hazy and I
can't find anything on the web.
