Data Type

After a Probabilistic Analysis, the following data can be plotted on Histogram, Cumulative or Scatter plots. NOTE:

Calculated Data

Safety Factor

In most cases, the first thing you will want to view is the Safety Factor distribution, since it is from this that the Probability of Failure is calculated.

Wedge Weight

The total weight of each wedge.

Plunge / Trend / Length Line of Intersection

This refers to the orientation and length of the Line of Intersection of the two failure planes (Joint Sets 1 and 2).

Maximum Persistence

This refers to the maximum dimension between any two points, as measured on the wedge failure surfaces (Joint Set 1 and Joint Set 2).

Input Data

Input Data variables

Any Data Types listed after the Calculated Data types (see above), are your Input Data variables (e.g. Dip of Joint 1, etc.) to which you assigned a Statistical Distribution.
