Webinar | Mastering 2D Slope Stability with PLAXIS LE

Available OnDemand

PLAXIS LE (formerly SVSLOPE®) is stability software for slope stability analysis. Users can perform classic limit equilibrium slope analysis by the method of slices or newer stress-based methods. Advanced searching methods are implemented to correctly determine the correct location of the critical slip surface.

This workshop provides a basic and practical overview of the PLAXIS LE® 2D software. Basic tutorials are presented. The focus of the presentations are related to the creation of models for application in the mining industry.

Join our webinar to learn:

• Slope stability analysis method
• Managing workflow and geometry
• Various search methods
• Pore-water pressures
• Loading & Supports

Dr. Fredlund received his training from the University of Saskatchewan and Texas A&M University and has published over 50 research papers on topics related to database design, finite element modeling, and unsaturated soil knowledge-based systems. In 1997 he started SoilVision Systems Ltd. with a database software product called SoilVision which could be used to estimate unsaturated soil behavior. He has since directed the development of eight other finite element software packages covering areas of groundwater flow, contaminant transport, geothermal analysis, air-flow analysis, stress / deformation, and slope stability. The software products of SoilVision Systems Ltd. are used in over 100 countries by consultants, universities, government agencies and multinational corporations.
