  • Overview of Slope Stability Analysis Methods and Design considerations
  • Overview of Measures of Stability – Factor of Safety using Limit equilibrium analysis, Deformation and Strength Reduction Factor using Finite element analysis
  • Comparison of Deterministic and Probabilistic analysis methods
  • Overview of different analysis methods, search methods and optimization methods in Slide2 and RS2
• Module 2 – Slope stability modeling with Slide2
  • Slide2 model set up – including soil profiles, importing geometry, geometry clean up, assigning materials properties including weak layers, assigning analysis and search methods
  • Results interpretation
  • Thrust line validation
• Module 3 – Probabilistic analysis in Slide2
