This program is used to perform slope stability analysis (embankments, earth cuts, anchored retaining structures, MSE walls, etc.). The slip surface is considered as circular (Bishop, Fellenius/Petterson, Janbu, Morgenstern-Price or Spencer methods) or polygonal (Sarma, Janbu, Morgenstern-Price or Spencer methods).
Main Features
Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, or classical approach (limit states, factor of safety)
EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
Simple input of layer geometry
Build-in database of soils and rocks
Fast and reliable optimization of circular and polygonal slip surfaces
Arbitrary number of surcharges (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated loading)
Arbitrary number of anchors
Presence of water modelled through ground water table or using pore pressure isolines
Rapid draw down analysis, tensile cracks
Handles successive construction of slopes within one analysis task
Simple modelling of rigid bodies
Earthquake effects
