GEOSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS SLOPE STABILITY
GeoStructural Analysis Slope Stability enables you to perform in-depth analyses of the stability of layered soil slopes, including stability checks of earth cuts, excavations, landfills, levees, embankments, earthen dams, and retaining structures. You can analyze circular slip surfaces using the Bishop or Petterson methods, or polygonal slip surfaces using the Sarma method.
Key Features
- Specify surface terrain and subsurface stratigraphy
- Specify soil layers by nodes along the interface between two layers
- Define soil layers with different properties using either project-specific data or the built-in soil parameters database of common soil types (USCS)
- Import soil parameters from gINT
- Apply an unlimited number of surcharge loads to structures of varying configurations, including trapezoidal, strip, and concentrated load distributions
- Model water by pore pressure isolines or by ground water table elevation
- Define slip surface constraints (prescribe specific failure criteria)
- Model rigid bodies
Analysis and Design Capabilities
- Enables unlimited number of analyses of construction staging (construction of embankments, soil cuts, anchors, geo-reinforcement) within a single analysis run
- Perform analysis to identify circular (Bishop, Petterson) and polygonal (Sharma) slip surfaces
- Analyze an unlimited number of earth anchors
- Analyze anisotropic soil properties
- Analyze for effective or total earth pressure (stress) conditions
- Analyze slope stability based on safety factors or limit state design methodology
- Analyze for earthquake effects as an equivalent horizontal force
