Detailed Example: Sheet Pile Wall

Deep excavations usually require proper reinforcement to prevent failure. In this SLOPE/W example we illustrate how the stability of a deep excavation with a sheet pile wall can be evaluated.

Features of this simulation include: the Morgenstern-Price method, use of the Entry and Exit slip surface option, a dry slope with no pore-water pressure condition, use of anchors to reinforce the slope, use of a pile to model the sheet pile, use of a line load to model the sheet pile, and hand calculation of the passive earth pressure.

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

Banff 2010 Workshop

Anticipation is growing for our fall Geotechnical Modeling workshop in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This is a great hands-on opportunity for both beginning and experienced software users to receive training and sharpen modeling skills. We encourage you to join us if you would like to get more out of your use of GeoStudio.

The focus of the first three days are SLOPE/W, SEEP/W and SIGMA/W, along with a review of fundamental theory. The optional fourth day allows participants to take part in QUAKE/W, TEMP/W and VADOSE/W sessions or work on models in a Study Hall context.

Registration is open. Full details are available on the Banff Workshop page.

Tips & Tricks: License Borrowing

Did you know that if you have GeoStudio 2007 network licenses you can borrow a license to a laptop if you need to travel or be away from the office?

License borrowing allows you to check out a license for use while disconnected from your corporate network. This feature enables you to temporarily make use of a network license in a standalone capacity. Once a license is borrowed, the license is removed from the pool, decreasing the number of available licenses on the network.

Please contact us if you would like to have your network license borrow enabled.
