Documentation and Theory Overview

Slide2 is a 2D limit equilibrium slope stability program for evaluating the safety factor or probability of failure, of circular or non-circular failure surfaces in soil or rock slopes. Slide2 analyzes the stability of slip surfaces using vertical slice or non-vertical slice limit equilibrium methods. Slide2 also includes finite element groundwater seepage analysis built right into the program, for both steady state and transient conditions.

Getting Started

If you are a new user of Slide2, you should begin by completing the Slide2 Quick Start tutorial to help familiarize yourself with the software’s main functions.
