New Snowden Model in Slide
This article describes recent additions to the strength modeling options in Slide, our limit equilibrium slope stability program, which were requested by Snowden Engineering in Australia. Two new anisotropic strength models were implemented. Read More.
Top Project Modelling Slope Failure on Mars Using Slide and Phase2 to assist in confirming that a new impact crater morphology, Peripheral Peak Ring, is valid, as well as gaining insight into the strength parameters of the uppermost layers of the Martian crust.
Tech News Role of brittle fracture on swelling behaviour of weak rock tunnels: hypothesis and qualitative evidence Role of brittle fracture on swelling behaviour: evidence from tunnelling case histories The two articles above have used Phase2 in the analysis of brittle fracture as a trigger of the swelling phenomena, by Dr. Walter Steiner, Dr. Peter Kaiser, Prof. Georg Spaun (published in Geomechanics and Tunnelling).

Education Connection
ICELAND: A Student Geological Journey - Rocscience was pleased to be a Silver Sponsor for the Laval University Iceland 2011 Geological Field Trip last August.

Our Summer Interns made great contributions to the Rocscience software development.
Events
Dr. Thamer Yacoub delivered the second part of the Master's Course in Geomechanics at the Universidad de los Andes, Chile. Interview with Dr. Yacoub in Spanish.

Are you interested in seeing us while we are in Australia? Perhaps you would like to join a workshop. Read more.

The Workshop on Numerical Modeling and Applications in Geomechanics given in Turkey last month using Rocscience software was a great success.
