SLOPE/W

SLOPE/W: Geotechnical Software for Slope Stability Analysis

A software used for slope stability analysis, modeling soil strength, analyzing slip surfaces, calculating factors of safety, and designing retaining walls.

What is SLOPE/W?

SLOPE/W is a comprehensive software package for geotechnical slope stability analysis. Developed by Geo-Slope International, SLOPE/W has become an industry standard for analyzing the stability of natural and man-made soil and rock slopes.

The software allows engineers to model complex, real-world situations with advanced features like pore-water pressure conditions, nonlinear shear strength behavior, inclusion of structural elements such as anchors and piles, and more. SLOPE/W utilizes state-of-the-art numerical methods to conduct slope stability analysis and calculate factors of safety against failure.

With an intuitive graphical user interface, SLOPE/W makes it easy for geotechnical engineers to define slip surfaces and model soil properties, loads, and groundwater conditions. Analysis results clearly identify critical slip surfaces and provide shear and normal force diagrams.

Key applications include evaluating the stability of cut or natural slopes, designing excavations and earth retention structures, analyzing potential landslides, and planning stabilization and remediation measures. SLOPE/W can analyze both simple and complex slope configurations under static and pseudo-static seismic loading.

With ongoing enhancements and technical support from Geo-Slope, SLOPE/W has become an indispensable tool for geotechnical firms, construction companies, research institutions, and government agencies worldwide.
