Rocscience Slide -

Slide operates primarily on the principles of the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM). The fundamental concept involves determining a Factor of Safety (FoS) for a potential sliding mass. The Factor of Safety is defined as the ratio of the restoring forces (shear strength) to the disturbing forces (shear stress):

For engineers needing to answer the question “Will this slope fail, and how likely is it?” , Slide provides a fast, defensible, and feature-rich solution. rocscience slide

In the event of a failure or an active landslide, Slide can be used for back analysis. By setting the FoS to 1.0 for a known failure surface, the software can back-calculate the required soil strength parameters. This is an invaluable forensic engineering tool. Slide operates primarily on the principles of the

The core of Slide modeling lies in the creation of the cross-section. In the event of a failure or an
