SoilVision Systems Introduces SVSlope

SoilVision Systems has introduced the SVSlope slope stability software package. The package represents a blend of classic "method-of-slices" analysis methods with sophisticated new probabilistic analysis methods and advanced searching algorithms for the critical slip surface.

The software is the result of many years of effort by a world-class team of slope stability and software experts. The sophisticated new probabilistic methods are integrated with a sleek and simple user interface with state-of-the-art graphical representation of results.

SVSlope is software for performing deterministic and probabilistic analysis of the stability of soil or rock slopes. The factor of safety, probability of unsatisfactory performance or reliability index can be calculated. The software interface is simple to use but allows the analysis of complex geometries coupled with groundwater seepage. Comprehensive support for reinforced slopes and external loadings is also present.

Specific highlighted features of the software include: advanced probabilistic analysis (Monte Carlo, Latin HyperCube, APEM); one-way or two-way sensitivity analysis; spatial variability of material properties; 14 different analysis methods; coupled unsaturated steady-state or transient seepage analysis is available when combined with the SVFLUX software; and support for 14 different soil strength models.

The SVSLOPE software replaces the SVDYNAMIC slope stability software package, which was released in September 2003. SVSLOPE was programmed as a completely new software package. The driving motive was to provide a fresh new outlook at slope stability analysis. The software is programmed entirely on the innovative Microsoft .NET development environment and fully implements sophisticated and new object-oriented programming concepts. The new software technology allows speedy implementation of further new and innovative slope stability concepts.
