Slope stability using PLAXIS and GeoStudio | In-Person Workshop

Join us to learn how to use both PLAXIS and GeoStudio for your slope stability project. Move your project between PLAXIS and GeoStudio to do both a strength reduction analysis with Finite Elements or a Limit Equilibrium analysis to determined a factor safety and learn where those two methods complement each other.

This workshop on Slope stability is given as a special topic day added to the Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics, but can also be joined as individual workshop. The workshop focuses on the calculation of a factor of safety against slope sliding and explains how this is done using the strength reduction method in Finite Elements (PLAXIS) and the limit equilibrium method (GeoStudio). Different methods of slices like Bishop, Janbu and Morgenstern-Price are explained as well as the use of reinforcements in Limit Equilibrium. With hands-one exercises we will combine deformation and stability analysis in PLAXIS with safety analysis in GeoStudio.
