TSLOPE Features

TSLOPE - next generation slope stability software

Used for all types of slope stability problems including open pit mines, landfills, and any slope with complex geological structure and variable surface topography.

- Built as a fully 3D application
  - Slopes discretized as vertical columns

- Allows better engineering, easy and quick to use
  - A 3D model can be set-up in a few minutes

- Import data from 3D drawing, geological and terrain models
  - Data can be imported as dxf, obj, XYZ, geoTIFF, contour shp, LaudXML, ASCII grid, STL, VTP

- Cut arbitrary sections through a 3D model
  - Sections are discretized as 2D slices with user defined origin and orientation

- Extrude a 2D section to a 3D model
  - If you only have a 2D section to start we extrude that to build a 3D model

- Correctly apply pore water pressures at failure surface

- Automatically eliminate tension

- Compute local factors of safety
  - Using the Ordinary method calculate ratio of driving and resisting forces at base of each column
