Key capabilities include:
Designing safe bench heights and overall pit slope angles. Rocscience Slide 7.0 Full -
Slide is fundamentally a program. It analyzes the stability of slopes using various methods of slices to find the critical slip surface—the surface with the lowest Factor of Safety. Key capabilities include: Designing safe bench heights and
Using unlicensed software in a professional engineering firm violates copyright law and can lead to fines (up to $150,000 per infringement in the US under the Copyright Act). For independent engineers, it can ruin your reputation and expose you to lawsuits. Using unlicensed software in a professional engineering firm
: Automates the search for critical slip surfaces using methods like Grid Search, Slope Search, and Auto Refine for circular surfaces. Non-circular search options include Cuckoo Search, Simulated Annealing, and Path Search. Groundwater Analysis
Allows the software to search for and identify multiple potential critical regions instead of just one global minimum. Rocscience 2. Material and Support Modeling Extensive Material Library:
: Introduced in later versions (e.g., Slide 2018) to account for the heterogeneous nature of soil properties.
