Easy to Use
Defining a Stability Model
Beginning an analysis is as simple as defining the geometry by drawing regions and lines that identify soil layers, or by importing a DXF™ file. Then choose an analysis method, specify soil properties and pore-water pressures, define reinforcement loads, and create trial slip surfaces.
Viewing the Analysis Results
Once you have solved your stability analysis, SLOPE/W offers many tools for viewing the results. Display the minimum slip surface and factor of safety, or view each one individually. View detailed information about any slip surface, including the total sliding mass, a free body diagram and a force polygon showing the forces acting on each slice. Contour the factors of safety, or show plots of computed parameters. Then prepare the results for your report by adding labels, axes, and pictures, or export the results into other applications such as Microsoft® Excel® for further analysis.
Typical Applications
SLOPE/W can model almost any stability problem, including:
Natural earth and rock slopes
Sloping excavations
Earth embankments
Open-pit high walls
Anchored retaining structures
Berms at the toe of a slope
Surcharges at the top of a slope
Earth reinforcement, including soil nails and geofabrics
Seismic and earthquake loading
Tension cracks
Partial and total submergence
Line load at any point
Unsaturated soil behavior
plus many more!
