A hydroelectric dam required analysis of upstream slope stability during emergency drawdown. The finite element groundwater module in Slide 7.0 simulated transient pore pressure dissipation over 7 days, identifying the critical time window (48 hours) where the safety factor dipped below 1.2.

: A visualization tool used to analyze results, view safety factor contours, and graph data along the slip surfaces. A hydroelectric dam required analysis of upstream slope
: Users can account for uncertainty in material properties (like unit weight or friction angle) by assigning statistical distributions. The software then calculates a Probability of Failure rather than just a single safety factor. It is an industry standard for civil and
While the temptation to search for a “free full version” exists, the costs—both professional and cybersecurity-related—far outweigh any short-term savings. Instead, take advantage of Rocscience’s free trial, student licenses, or rental plans. Your slopes, your clients, and your career will thank you.
Allows for sensitivity and probabilistic evaluations to account for uncertainty in material properties.
Slide 7.0 provides a comprehensive toolset for analyzing virtually any soil or rock slope, including embankments, earth dams, and retaining walls.
