- This tab displays failure circles for global stability using the Modified Bishop method.
- The minimum failure depth may be specified to eliminate undesired failure checks at the top corner of walls.
- A minimum failure circle is displayed for the entire slope and for each wall (failure circle intersecting points above and below the top of the wall). These minimum failure circles may overlap. In this example, the minimum failure circles for the entire slope and each wall overlap,so only one failure circle is displayed. It may be possible to see 3 failure circles for this example.
- Turn on "Seismics" to see seismic loading failure circles and factors of safety.
- Higher Resolution values result in higher speed, lower values result in higher accuracy. A value of 1 is set to give the best balance between accuracy and performance
- The Layers option searches for failure surfaces between soil layers.
- Tension cracks allows vertical failure surfaces.
- When Show Plot is selected, the colors above the slope correspond to the minimum factor of safety for all failure surfaces with centers at the corresponding point. The colors below the slope correspond to the minimum factor of safety for allfailure surfaces intersecting the corresponding point.
