By Thiago Bretas and Felipe Vilela, BVP Engenharia. Two-dimensional (2D) limit equilibrium analysis is the most common method of slope stability analysis in geotechnical engineering practice. That’s...
Read MoreThe finite element method (FEM) is the most common approach to modeling the behavior of rock masses, including ones intersected by discontinuities such as joints, faults, and cracks. That should come...
Read MoreAs a Rocscience customer, using Slide2 and RS2 to model slope failure in slopes, dams, and embankments is just like any other day. Not so typical, and perhaps hard to believe, is the use of the softw...
Read MoreThe Adoption of 3D Limit Equilibrium Method 2D limit equilibrium analysis is a powerful tool for problems involving uniform geometry. Three-dimensional limit equilibrium modeling can be an excellent...
