2D Limit Equilibrium Slope Stability Analysis

Slide 5.0 is the most comprehensive slope stability analysis software available, complete with sensitivity, probabilistic and back analysis capabilities. This 2-D program combines an attractive, easy to use CAD based graphical interface with a wide range of modeling and data interpretation options that enable you to perform analyses more thoroughly, more quickly.



Using Slide 5.0, you may determine the probability of failure and reliability index for either the deterministic failure surface with the smallest factor of safety, or for the entire slope. Sensitivity capabilities allow you to easily determine the effect of any parameter on the factor of safety. Determine which parameter has the most effect and optimize your slope remediation based on this knowledge.

Slide 5.0 is the only slope stability software to include built-in steady-state unsaturated groundwater analysis capabilities using the finite-element method. Calculate pore-pressures, heads, discharge using geometry from your slope stability analysis. Meshing is all automatic and done at the click of a button. Pore pressures are seamlessly integrated into your slope stability analysis.

Slide 5.0 easily models complex slope geometry. Draw the interface as you would in any CAD or drawing program or import a scanned image of your slope and digitize over it. Man-made and natural slopes with complex layering, soil lenses, and inclusions are easily modeled. Earth dams with complex core and shell geometries are also easily modeled.

The simple to use editing tools provide a convenient method for performing parametric studies. The graphical data interpreter provides a rich set of tools for the convenient display of model results. With Slide 5.0, you can very quickly and easily create a model, perform a stability analysis, and interpret the results.
