‘Open Secret’ Advantages of the Shear Strength Reduction Approach in Slope Stability Analysis
Shear Strength Reduction (SSR) allows numerical methods, such as the finite element method (FEM), to determine the factor of safety of a slope. Although SSR analysis is not the panacea to every slope stability problem, it offers advantages that must place it, at a minimum, on par with traditional limit equilibrium methods. We hope that the points briefly outlined in this article, convince you to apply the approach much more regularly.
New Pile Supports in RS2
RS2 has improved the ability to model piles using the new dedicated Pile Support Type. With this new dedicated pile support type, the user simply enters the pile properties and out-of-plane spacing. RS2 will take care of the rest.
