For the determination of a Factor of Safety the strength reduction method is a very powerful tool to obtain the most critical slip surface. However, there may be circumstances in which more information is required than just the most critical slip surface. Using SLOPE/W we can easily get this information.

In this Coffee Corner we will show you:

  • When to decide to add LEM to your Finite Element analysis
  • How to use the interoperability between PLAXIS 2D and SLOPE/W
  • Quickly obtain these additional results

Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corners are open to all Bentley users, free of charge. One learning unit is applied to each participant’s Bentley Transcript for self-reporting. To view prior sessions, watch the Recordings On-Demand.
