MacSlope

MacSlope is an app designed for Mac OSX 10.8+ to calculate the factor of safety of earth slopes, using commonly used methods of limit equilibrium slope stability analysis. MacSlope is a fully-featured application, with the capability to: - Model complex geometries with an unlimited number of regions and materials. - Model complex pore pressure conditions for each region, through the use of piezometric surfaces, and ru or B-bar coefficients. - Model partially and fully submerged slopes. - Model tension cracks. - Model vertical and inclined surcharge loads. - Model seismic loading, input as a horizontal acceleration for pseudo-static analysis. - Calculate the factor of safety using the Ordinary, Bishop's Simplified, Janbu's Simplified, Spencer's and General Limit Equilibrium methods. - Analyze circular, compound, and user-defined slip shapes. - Search for the minimum factor safety using a search grid, specified surface, or auto search. - Plot contours of factor of safety for search grids, or display a "heat map" of colors. - Animate the slip surfaces and slices being analyzed as calculations happen. - Inspect the calculated slice forces and create custom plots of force and stress over the slip segment. - Import DXF files for quick creation of slope geometry. - Create reports (HTML/PDF) using analysis results and custom plot content.
