GEO5 ROCK STABILITY

Buy GEO5 Now

GEO5 Rock Stability helps you perform in-depth analyses of the stability of rock slopes for specific types of failures related to planar/polygonal slip surfaces or soil/rock wedges. With this module, you can perform and verify exact analyses of resisting forces, driving forces and safety factors for rock faces and surfaces, as well as perform precise geometrical analyses of gradient direction, slip surfaces and tension crack gradients.

 

Key Features

  • Specify surface terrain, including block geometry
  • Specify rock material properties and interface characteristics
  • Apply an unlimited number of surcharge loads to rock slopes and walls of varying configurations, including trapezoidal, strip, and concentrated load distributions
  • Apply an unlimited number of anchors to the model
  • Model water in joints and tension cracks
 

Analysis and Design Capabilities

  • Analyze geometrical slip models along polygonal or straight slip surfaces
  • Analyze geometrical slip models of spaces or earth wedges
  • Analyze a variety of plane slip surfaces, including smooth, stepped, and rough
  • Reference a variety of standard industry material models (Hoek-Brown, Mohr-Coulomb, Banton-Bandis)
  • Analyze for earthquake effects as an equivalent horizontal force
