Slope Stability - Input Parameters

Parent Previous Next

This dialog window contains basic input parameters of the Slope Stability module, such as basic Soil Characteristics, Water Influence, and the Factor of Safety. All additional parameters (such as for Earthquake, Anchors, Reinforcements, Surcharge and Analysis options) are specified directly in the Slope Stability module.



Soil Characteristics: Additional parameters needed for the calculations of slope stability are specified here for all materials used in HYDRUS. Parameters for each particular material can be selected from the catalog using the "Select from Catalogue" button or can be defined individually.


Water Influence: Select whether the effects of the soil water pore pressure should be taken into account when carrying out Slope Stability calculations (Type of water influence) and for what time level should the calculations be carried out (Hydrus printout time; corresponds to Hydrus printing times).


Analysis: A Safety Factor, for which slope stability is considered satisfactory. Its value must be in the interval of (1; 5).


See detailed description in the separate help of the Slope Stability Module.
