The Rock Stability program is designated for analysis of rock slope stability for a specified type of failure, including a planar or polygonal slip surface or rock wedge. The program for nailed slope analysis (passive nails with shotcrete face or steel mesh) is called Nailed Slope. The program for analysis of MSE Walls reinforced by georeinforcements is MSE Wall, which contains a large database of georeinforcements of different production firms. It enables creation of anchors, georeinforcements, surcharge and earthquake effects modeling. It cooperates with all programs for analysis of Excavation Designs and Retaining Wall Designs. It enables design and analysis of slope stability with circular or polygonal surface and automatic optimization of slip surface. The basic program for stability analysis is Slope Stability. This is initially disconcerting but fine if you are designing to the new Eurocode 7 (using design approach 1), which applies partial factors on material strengths, and you just need to check that the factor on the load is >1.įinally - LimitState:GEO does do nails, but apparently no seismic capability yet.GEO5 contains several programs for analyses of soil and rock slopes, dams, newly built embankments, and check of retaining walls global stability. The solutions generated are rigorous plasticity ones, rather than limit equilibrium.įor slopes the biggest thing to get your head around is that it reports a factor of safety on an applied load (can be self weight and/or surcharge), rather than a traditional global factor of safety (i.e. But unlike finite elements there are very few input parameters to worry about and it is very quick and easy to use (and the output is clear too). Like finite element packages it can be used for pretty much any geometry of geotechnical problem - not just slope problems. I don't know much about SVSlope but have used LimitState::GEO quite a lot recently.

RE: Slope stability software 3tg (Geotechnical) 13 Oct 08 14:20 As usual, it is horses for courses, sometimes limit equilibrium analysis gives more flexibility to analyse a particular problem. With regard to "Garbage in-Garbage out", yes, elastic parameters are not easy to define but if you are using plastic analysis and Mohr Coulomb parameters with FE, these are the same garbage that you would input into limit equilibrium. Although such cheaper programmes are adequate for simple analyses, check if they have the facility for Hoek-Brown parameters, probabilty, sensitivity, strength functions etc. I used GEOSTRU some time ago and it was good for the price. Both cater for reinforvcement and seismic loading. Technical support from Rocscience (SLIDE) is excellent but I have not tried it with SLOPE/W. SLIDE is however considerably cheaper and I found it much easier to use, particularly the CAD import / interface but then I was already familiar with PHASE2. anisotropic strength functions, and one method may be preferable to the other depending on your requirments. However, I have used SLIDE and SLOPE/W and both seem to have similar features but sometimes dealt with in different ways, e.g. I suspect that cdstan has bought the software by now.
