locate the minimum factor of safety surfaces. We also explain the new Seismic Loading Option
that has just been added to Phase2. Don't miss this month's coupon for FREE shipping!
 

What's New This Month!

The primary goal of a slope stability analysis is to determine the potential slip surface which has the overall minimum factor of safety, therefore determining the overall safety of the slope design. Read about the different search methods using the software SLIDE, which automate the task of searching, for either circular or non-circular slip surfaces. (370KB)

 


How does one apply a seismic load in a particular stage of a sequential excavation? Learn how to apply pseudo-static seismic loads using the software PHASE2 (5.0).


What is Virtual Reality (VR)?
The power of VR lies in the ability to visualize information, allowing the engineer to make decisions based on what you see, rather than on the expensive trial and error process.
