FEM Modelling: Piled Raft Foundation Analysis in 2D and 3D

To analyze deep foundation piles, Finite Element programs like Rocscience’s RS2 and RS3 provide a variety of 2D and 3D tools for both design and analysis. The following example looks specifically at a piled raft foundation, performing an analysis in both RS2 and RS3 to show both the advantages and differences between 2D and 3D analyses of deep foundation piles.

The approach used for the 2D and 3D analysis of the piled raft foundation was based on the study by Ryltenius (2011).

Dips Gets the Need For Speed With New Import Wizard

The Rocscience program Dips is a popular stereographic projection tool designed for the interactive analysis of orientation-based geological data. This April, Dips is introducing a speedy new feature to its roster with the Dips Import Wizard, a new tool that lets users spend less time on their data import, and more time on their analysis.

30+ years of Dips – The Development Continues

Long before the powerful stereographic projection software that it is today, Dips was initially known as ‘StdPlot’. The program was renamed Dips - an acronym for Data Interpretation using Projected Stereonets, based on its core functionality.

Have a look at the evolution of the software over the years.

RocFall Analysis: Part of a Safe Mine Re-entry Plan

RocFall was part of an integrated approach used in conjunction with RS2 and DAN-W to design a safe mine re-entry after two slope failures occurred at an open-pit coal mine in Alberta, Canada.
