Dear all,
I would like to implement a Phi-c reduction calculation in an area where I have a berm. I am obtaining the FoS of this berm, but I would like to know the FoS of a deeper surface.
Could I limit in some way the failure surface to obtain what I want?
Kind regards,
Alexandra
YOu can specify the soil reduction it is not applied to a certain soil cluster.
This is to be done in the Model explorer for the corresponding phase. YOu should select the soil clusters you do not want to be included in the failure and then proceed with the fi c reduction. It is always advisable to perform this in a progressive manner in a way you are sure you do not miss any failure relevant failure mode
Dear Alexands,
I agree with Federico. The option is available and for more information you can also check our Reference manual in the chapter about Enhanced safety analysis.
