Phase2 Verification Examples

The Phase2 Verification manuals present numerous example problems which have been used to verify the accuracy of the solutions computed by Phase2.

The Phase2 Verification examples are organized as follows:

1. Stress analysis verification (parts 1 and 2)

2. Groundwater verification

3. Slope Stability verification (parts 1, 2 and 3)

Separate manuals have been created for each problem category. These are described below.

Groundwater Verification

The Phase2 Groundwater verification examples are used to verify the accuracy of the finite element seepage analysis results in Phase2. The manual is in PDF format, click the following link to view the manual, which can be printed.

Phase2 Groundwater Verification

NOTE: the Phase2 Groundwater Verification examples can also be found in the Slide Groundwater Verification manual. It is verified that Phase2 and Slide produce the same results for the same groundwater seepage models.

Slope Stability Verification

The Phase2 Slope Stability verification examples are used to verify the accuracy of the finite element slope stability analysis results in Phase2. The manuals are in PDF format, click the following links to view the manuals, which can be printed.

Phase2 Slope Stability Verification (Part1)

Phase2 Slope Stability Verification (Part2)

Phase2 Slope Stability Verification (Part3)

NOTE: the majority of the Phase2 Slope Stability Verification examples have a corresponding Slide Slope Stability Verification example. It is verified that the finite element slope stability results from Phase2 are in agreement with the limit equilibrium slope stability results from Slide.
