Slope/W Insights

What is Slope/W?

Slope/W is a geotechnical software product by GeoStudio used for slope stability analysis. It employs various limit equilibrium methods, including the Morgenstern-Price and Spencer methods, to calculate the factor of safety of slopes. It is commonly used in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering to assess the stability of natural slopes, engineered embankments, retaining walls, and other earth structures, considering factors such as soil properties, pore water pressure, and external loads. The output provides a factor of safety, which indicates the stability of the slope; a factor of safety greater than 1.0 typically indicates a stable slope.
