Slope and Base Failure
With the “Slope and Base Failure” program the safety against slope and base failure based on the methods by Krey-Bishop (slip circle) and Janbu (arbitrary slip surfaces) can be determined. The slope, soil layers, and groundwater can be defined arbitrarily. Optionally, components such as stabilization columns or sheet piles can be taken into account to increase the shear force in the soil.

Performance characteristics
Structural system
- Any slope shape and stratification can be defined
- Consideration of buildings, components (including stabilising columns) and anchors
- For the accurate internal modelling of the structural system (e. g. ground surface and soil stratification), it is possible to import DXF graphics as a background
Groundwater
- Any groundwater and seepage water course
- Consideration of buoyancy and pore water pressure/overpressure
- Inclusion of artesian water pressure below impermeable soil layers are possible
Loads
- Several load cases with:
- vertical and horizontal concentrated loads
- vertical line loads and concentrated moments
- earthquake loads
Geotechnical vertifications
- Analysis in accordance with Krey-Bishop (slip circles) and Janbu (any slip surfaces)
- Analysis with partial safety factors or global safety depending on the selected standard
- Automatic determination of the minimum safety
- Iteration of the centre point and/or the radius, iteration procedure with particle swarm optimisation (PSO) for straight slip surfaces according to Janbu
- Optional iteration of the anchor lengths to maintain a required level of safety
Output
- Detailed output of the individual load cases as text and graphics
