The programme provides the factor of safety as the ratio between the resistance of the tendon (minimum of the three failure mechanisms: yielding of the reinforcement, bulb-soil displacement, reinforcement-mortar displacement) and its reaction, calculated according to the type chosen: active tendon, passive tendon.A minimum length of the free section must also be defined, so that…
The reinforcing element, usually a geotextile, is inserted into the soil to provide increased resistance to sliding along a probable failure surface. It is used to model slopes or reinforced embankments. In Slope, the reinforcement element can be inserted punctually on the geotechnical section thanks to the specific command on the command bar (from Tests-loads-works…
Check that the calculation method chosen is not Fellenius, it is the only one that does not take into account the intervention works.
Check that the section has been defined on the first quadrant of the co-ordinates (avoid negative co-ordinates) or that it does not have a large number of co-ordinate digits, if this is not the case translate the section.
Check that the layers, from ‘Stratigraphy’, have been defined as ‘Permeable’.
Two approaches can be used to define slope gabions, the first is to define them as deformable walls and assign an average shear strength in terms of tension.The other is to use the polygon tool and then treat the polygon as a material, in which case it is suggested to use apparent geotechnical parameters:Apparent cohesion=(0.03M(gab)-0.05)98.1…
Within Slope 2022 there is a converter for files with the *.sta extension from previous versions. Simply click on the menu icon in the top right-hand corner and then on ‘Convert Files’. The conversion tool will open:
Check that the ‘Anisotropy’ command has not been selected in Stratigraphy, check that the slope has been defined as per convention: from left to right with increasing ordinates. I cannot open files with the extension *.sta, from the previous version of Slope
The conversion factor depends solely on the unit of measurement in which the acceleration data is reported and the unit of measurement in which you have chosen to work with RSL III software (in g or in m/s2). If, for example, you have chosen to work in [g] and the accelerogram is in [m/s2] then…
