Rock Stability
This program is used to analyze the stability of rock slopes and walls for a specified type of failure, including a planar or polygonal slip surface or rock wedge.
Main Features
- Slip along straight or polygonal slip surface;
- Slip of space rock wedge;
- Material models according to Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown and Barton-Bandis;
- Smooth, undulated or stepped plane slip surface;
- Polygonal slip surface;
- Simple input of block geometry;
- Overhangs of rock face for 3D wedge;
- Arbitrary number of surcharges (strip, trapezoidal, linear);
- Arbitrary number of anchors;
- Modelling of water in joints and tension cracks, forces due to water on (internal) slip surface;
- Earthquake effects;
- Stereographic projection (MarklandĀ“s test plot) for rock wedge.
