Extensively used at an international level, \u00a0Slope stability analysis software – SLOPE<\/a> is one of the most used software for slope stability verification of both loose and rocky soils, using the traditional methods of geotechnics (Limit Equilibrium), and the Discrete Element Method. Under seismic conditions, it is possible to choose either the pseudo static method or the simplified dynamic analysis.
\nA number of conventions must be used for optimal modeling of geotechnical sections, the most important of which are explained below.<\/p>\n

The slope to be verified must always have the lowest part on the left, i.e. the coordinates of the polylines that define the profile and the layers must grow from left to right.<\/p>\n

It is preferable that all surface coordinates (polylines of the model) have positive coordinates.<\/p>\n

Polylines defining layers should not be inserted in a descending sequence from right to left.<\/p>\n

The succession of layers should have an extension that does not exceed the limit of the topographic surface.<\/p>\n

It is not possible to define layers outside of the topographic surface. After defining the topographic surface you must insert the layers with numbering in sequence from top to bottom.<\/p>\n

The numbering of the layers should follow a correct ordering, from top to bottom (progressive ordering with higher numbers at the bottom).<\/p>\n
