Bentley Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - From Theory to Practice: FEM and LEM in Rock Slope Stabilisation

Name: Bentley Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - From Theory to Practice: FEM and LEM in Rock Slope Stabilisation
Start: 2024-09-10T00:00:00-04:00
End: 2024-09-10T00:00:00-04:00

In this webinar, we will explore the interoperability between the Finite Element (PLAXIS 2D) and Limit Equilibrium (SLOPE/W) methods in a rock slope stability problem. By leveraging both methods, you can achieve a more comprehensive and robust geotechnical analysis, combining the detailed stress-strain behavior from FEM with the simplicity and efficiency of LEM.

Topics include:

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the Finite Element and Limit Equilibrium methods, including their applications, advantages, and limitations in geotechnical applications.
Learn how to perform a slope stability analysis in SLOPE/W and seamlessly export the model to PLAXIS 2D for further analysis.
Explore different scenarios to optimize the lateral support design using reinforcement and shotcrete. Find out how to interpret the results to make informed decisions.
