3D Surface Wedge Analysis for Slopes

version 5.0

Updates

Swedge v5.0 Update History


Version 5.015 - June 20 2012

  1. Online Help would now launch in Internet Explorer if Google Chrome is the default browser. The online help does not properly work in Google Chrome.

Version 5.014 - July 18 2011

  1. During a combination analysis if no wedges are formed, a factor of safety would sometimes be shown in the toolbar even though no wedge exists. Fixed.
  2. The bolt orientation dialog would sometimes give an error and an orientation would be listed as -0.
  3. The conversion between metric tonnes and Kilonewtons (KN) is now given in the Project Settings dialog.

Version 5.013 - November 11 2010

1.

In the stereonet view, intersections would sometimes plot outside the stereonet. Fixed.

2.

Huge combination or probability models exceeding the memory capabilities of the computer would crash Swedge. The program now complains nicely and does not crash.

3.

You can now abort probability and combination analyses by pressing Escape.

 

Version 5.012 - October 13 2010

1.

If a line of intersection of the wedge was horizontal, the program would sometimes incorrectly give a FS=0.

 

Version 5.011 - May 06 2010

1.

A file reading problem on Windows 7 was fixed.


Version 5.010 - November 30 2009

1.

On Vista, when editing seismic coefficients after an initial calculation, the program would give an error dialog for no apparent reason. Fixed.


Version 5.009 - September 29 2009

1.

Added the ability to add grid lines to graphs.

2.

When switching between probabilistic and deterministic modes, if the mean wedge does not exist, the program would incorrectly set the joint orientations. This showed up when switching back to probabilistic mode, the program would give different answers.


Version 5.008 - July 7 2009

1.

Under rare circumstances the clipboard would be corrupted. Fixed.

2.

Excel charting of multiple datasets would sometimes not work with Excel 2007.

3.

A combination of a bench width, a slope length, and maximize tension crack distance could result in a bad wedge.

4.

Security system update to allow for educational updates and improve commercial network version.


Version 5.007 - June 4 2009

1.

A combination of a bench width, a slope length, and maximize tension crack distance could result in a bad wedge..

2.

A combination of a probabilistic analysis and the entry of external forces would result in the external force not existing.

3.

Update for the security library.


Version 5.006

1.

Improved the computation of scaled wedges when used with tension cracks, bench widths and slope lengths..


Version 5.005

1.

The infoviewer mislabeled slope pressures that were active as being passive. This is simply a typo. Fixed.


Version 5.004

1.

Export image now works on Vista.


Version 5.003

1.

Under certain situations with steeply dipping upper faces and wedges that require the tension crack to actually form, the program may not properly calculate the maximum size wedge with the "Use bench width to maximize" tension crack option.

2.

Improved the algorithm for computing the minimum FS tension crack position.

3.

Fixed a bug with the default chart colors.

4.

Improved printing.


Version 5.002

1.

The automatic update feature did not work. Fixed.

2.

Improved documentation for shorcrete shear strength and failure modes.

3.

Lowered the default shotcrete shear strength to be more in line with Canadian codes for unreinforced concrete shear strength.
