2D Limit Equilibrium Analysis for Slopes 
- Dams/Embankments
- Excavations
- Groundwater
- Open-pit Mining
- Rock & Soil Slopes
Analyze the slope stability of your dam or embankment. Perform a transient ground water analysis to analyze the transient pore pressures and their impact.
Webinar: Groundwater Seepage
Improve efficiency using the soil profile feature to input your original material geometry as a base template for excavations.
Tutorial: Soil Profile Modelling with Boreholes
Made for simplicity and complexity, you can either use a simple water table for your model or the built-in FEM seepage engine for when you need more control.

Create multiple scenarios in one file to analyze different sections of your mine. Or run the model in Slide3 and compute your Slide2 sections within it.
Case Study: Open-pit Mining
Model rock or soil slopes and perform stability analysis to identify the critical failure surfaces. Analyze a wide variety of slopes including Mechanically Stabilized Earth walls, retaining walls and reinforced soil structures.
Case Study: Reinforced Soil Structure
For complex projects, run your model in Slide3 and compute individual 2D sections with the Slide2 engine. You can also import your Slide2 model into Slide3 to extrude it.
Drag and drop your Slide2 file into RS2 and hit compute for a Shear Strength Reduction Analysis and directly compare the critical strength reduction factor to your factor of safety.
Save time by loading your RSPile file in Slide2. Match up your material layers and use the resistance functions in your slope stability analyses.
RSLog and Slide2 are now integrated, allowing you to easily import your cross-sections online or offline directly from your RSLog account into Slide2, saving you time.

Multi-modal Optimization (MMO)
Get more insight into your models by searching for more than one critical failure surface. With MMO you can seek out the top three most critical failure surfaces at once and consider them in your analysis.
-
New Generalized Anisotropic
Get full flexibility in the definition of your anisotropic material. Assign any material strength type as a joint or base. Define an angle range for anisotropy or assign one or multiple anisotropic surfaces to the same material.
-
User-Defined Manufacturer Library
Define your own geosynthetic manufacturer library and share a read-only copy with your team to ensure everyone is using the same support properties. Once added to Slide2, you will be able to access it from all Slide2 files on your machine.
