Plasticity indicators (yielding/failure).Shear strain rate contouring (failure surface location).FLAC/Slope model records can be saved and imported into FLAC for additional analysis.Pseudostatic analysis with constant horizontal and/or vertical accelerations to represent an earthquake.Exclude model regions from the FoS calculation to capture the global failure.Structural support elements, materials, and interface properties can be included or excluded as part of the FoS calculation.Automatic FoS calculations using the shear strength reduction (SSR) method.Add a Mohr-Coulomb interface to represent a weak plane for faults, joints, or artificial boundaries.Easily add a water table to include pore pressures for effective stress calculations.Cable structural support elements can be added as geosynthetic sheets or spaced (out-of-plane) ground reinforcement to simulate ground-structure interaction.Apply stresses (Sxx, Sxy, Syy, normal, shear, and pressure) and forces (Fx, Fy).For the 0.2 case the failure was confined to the thin weak layer only. A study of the ratio of cohesive strength (weak layer vs. Add, save, edit, and import/export your own material properties with the libraryįLAC/Slope model with a thin weak layer.Built-in materials library includes gravel, sand, silt, clay, and rock properties.Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown, and Ubiquitous joint materials are available.Automatic and customizable meshing tools.Wizards for generating slope, bench, dam, and general surface grids.Slope FoS is 0.92 without reinforcement and 1.23 for geogrids with a bond cohesion of 10 kN/m. Axial forces and the surface failure location are plotted. Extensive solution controls and optionsĬable structural elements can be used to represent soil nails, rock bolts, or geosynthetic sheets.Structural interaction (e.g., rock bolt, soil nail, or geogrid) is modeled realistically as fully coupled deforming elements, not simply as LEM equivalent forces.Predict multiple, interacting failure mechanisms (failures can propagate).Failure mode develops naturally – no need to specify a slip surface or failure mechanism.Specifically designed to perform multiple analyses and parametric studies for slope stability projects.Now freeware provided at no cost and with no time or size restrictions.
