Slide2 Across Applications

  • Dams & Embankments
  • Excavations
  • Groundwater
  • Open-Pit Mining
  • Rock & Soil Slopes

Dams & Embankments

Analyze the slope stability of dams and embankments with precision and conduct transient groundwater analyses to understand the impact of changing pore pressures.

Slide2 Seamlessly Integrates With

  • Slide3
  • RS2
  • RSPile
  • RSLog

+

For complex projects, run your model in Slide3 and compute individual 2D sections with the Slide2 engine. Or import your Slide2 model into Slide3 to extrude it.

Slide2

+

Drag and drop your Slide2 file into RS2 and perform a Shear Strength Reduction Analysis, then directly compare the critical strength reduction factor to your factor of safety.

Slide2

+

Save time by loading your RSPile file in Slide2. Match up your material layers and use resistance functions in your slope stability analyses.

Slide2

+

Easily import your cross-sections from RSLog into Slide2, whether online or offline, saving you time and streamlining your workflow.

  • Support Back Analysis

    Calculate the support force required for a specified safety factor and visualize the critical slip surface, and toggle between active and passive force assumptions for tailored support system designs. You can summarize your findings comprehensively with Slide2’s Interpret Report Generator.

  • Heuristic Weak Layer Handling

    Enhance your slope stability analysis with Heuristic Weak Layer Handling. You can adapt to weak layers and improve computation speed and accuracy using Particle Swarm Optimization, and automatically integrate geosynthetic layers as weak layers to account for sliding along their top surface.

  • Block Model

    Export detailed block models from Slide3 into Slide2, and easily manage and visualize block-level parameters like Dip, UCS, and GSI to gain deeper insights into material behavior. Use the Property Viewer to see precise parameter values, ensuring accurate and informed decisions.
