Banff 2010 Geotechnical Modeling Workshop

GEO-SLOPE International Ltd. invites you to join us in the Canadian Rocky Mountains this fall for our Banff 2010 Geotechnical Modeling workshop.

Surrounded by stunning scenery and removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, Banff is a perfect setting to gather with GEO-SLOPE clients from around the world to learn and fine-tune your numerical modeling skills.

Details of the Banff 2010 Geotechnical Modeling Workshop are available online, and space is limited, so register today!

Detailed Example: Slip On Weak Layer

GEO-SLOPE's example files are commonly searched for analyses related to composite-type slip surfaces translating on weak stratigraphic units. The frequency of this search is likely a reflection of this common mode of failure. Composite failures can be modeled in SLOPE/W by defining a region having a weak material overlying an impenetrable bedrock material. The basic example file returned by the search helps clarify some of the failure mechanisms and guides the way to other powerful means of analyzing translational failures (e.g. using an anisotropic strength modifier to represent a very thin weak layer that is not easily incorporated by drawing a region).

Read the Detailed Example, and then download the free GeoStudio 2007 Viewer License and follow along using the data file.
