Slope stability analyzer

Slope Stability Analyzer Skill

Purpose

The Slope Stability Analyzer Skill performs slope stability analysis using limit equilibrium methods for circular and non-circular failure surfaces under static and seismic loading conditions.

Capabilities

• Limit equilibrium analysis (Bishop, Spencer, Morgenstern-Price)
• Circular and non-circular failure surfaces
• Factor of safety calculation
• Seismic slope stability (pseudo-static)
• Probabilistic slope stability
• Sensitivity analysis
• Back-analysis for failed slopes
• Reinforced slope analysis

Usage Guidelines
