Slope models can be imported / exported between Slide and Phase2 allowing easy comparison of limit equilibrium and finite element results. This option is fully automated and can be used with either Mohr-Coulomb or Hoek-Brown strength parameters. One of the major features of Phase2 is finite element slope stability analysis using the shear strength reduction method. Bolt types include end anchored, fully bonded, cable bolts, split sets and grouted tiebacks. New liner design tools include support capacity plots which allow you to determine the safety factor of reinforced liners.
Liner elements can be applied in the modeling of shotcrete, concrete, steel set systems, retaining walls, piles, multi-layer composite liners, geotextiles and more. Phase2 offers a wide range of support modeling options. Progressive failure, support interaction and a variety of other problems can be addressed.
Complex, multi-stage models can be easily created and quickly analyzed, for example: tunnels in weak or jointed rock, underground powerhouse caverns, open pit mines and slopes, embankments, MSE stabilized earth structures, and much more.
