The stability of generic slopes composed of soil or weathered rock can be calculated using an analytical method in the Slope Stability program. Slope Stability can determine the most unfavorable circular or polygonal slip surface, solve specific cases of groundwater using stabilizing elements such as anchors, nails, geogrids, and/or piles.
Anti-skid pilots can be checked for deformation and load-bearing capacity in the Landslide Pilot Design program.The Rock Stability program solves the stability of rock slopes according to planar or polygonal slip surfaces. It is also possible to calculate rock wedges using stereographic Lambert projection.
Slopes reinforced with geogrids can be designed in the MST Wall program. In addition to global stability, the program can perform necessary checks such as internal stability, reinforcement pullout, overturning, and sliding or bearing capacity of the foundation soil. The Anchored Slope program is designed for the analysis of slopes reinforced with nails or steel grids. In addition to overall stability, there is also an option to check the internal stability of the nails and to design the reinforced concrete or steel grids.
Groundwater can be analyzed using numerical calculation of water seepage in the additional module Slopes Stability – Water Flow. Steady-state and transient water flow can be considered. The stability of generic slopes can also be calculated numerically in the MKE program. The program uses the reduction of M-C shear parameters (ϕ, c) which is carried out during construction stages. If necessary, the numerical seepage calculation can be solved in the additional module MKE – Water Flow.
