GEO-SLOPE GeoStudio 2012 v8.15.1.11236 [Size: 90 MB] ... The GeoStudio suite includes eight products: SLOPE/W for slope stability + SEEP/W for groundwater seepage + SIGMA/W for stress-deformation + QUAKE/W for dynamic earthquake + TEMP/W for geothermal + CTRAN/W for contaminant transport + AIR/W for air flow + VADOSE/W for vadose zone...
SLOPE/W is the leading slope stability CAD software product for computing
the factor of safety of earth
and rock slopes. SLOPE/W can effectively analyze both simple and complex problems
for a variety of slip surface shapes, pore-water pressure conditions, soil properties,
analysis methods and loading conditions. Using limit equilibrium, SLOPE/W can model heterogeneous soil types, complex stratigraphic
and slip surface geometry, and variable pore-water pressure conditions using a large
selection of soil models. Slope stability analyses can be performed using deterministic or probabilistic
input parameters. Stresses computed by a finite element stress analysis may be used
in addition to the limit equilibrium computations, for the most complete slope stability
analysis available. With this comprehensive range of features, SLOPE/W can be used to analyze almost
any slope stability problem you will encounter in your geotechnical, civil, and
mining engineering projects. SEEP/W is a finite element CAD software product for analyzing groundwater
seepage and excess pore-water pressure dissipation problems within porous
materials such as soil and rock. Its comprehensive formulation allows you
to consider analyses ranging from simple, saturated steady-state problems
to sophisticated, saturated/unsaturated time-dependent problems.
SEEP/W can be applied to the analysis and design of geotechnical, civil,
hydrogeological, and mining engineering projects. SEEP/W can model both saturated and unsaturated flow, a feature that
greatly broadens the range of problems that can be analyzed. In addition
to traditional steady-state saturated flow analysis, the
saturated/unsaturated formulation of SEEP/W makes it possible to analyze
seepage as a function of time and to consider such processes as the
infiltration of precipitation. The transient feature allows you to
analyze such problems as the migration of a wetting front and the
dissipation of excess pore-water pressure. SIGMA/W is a finite element CAD software product that can be used to
perform stress and deformation analyses of earth structures. Its
comprehensive formulation makes it possible to analyze both simple
and highly complex problems. SIGMA/W can perform a simple
linear elastic deformation analysis or a highly sophisticated,
nonlinear elastic-plastic effective stress analysis. The many constitutive soil models allow you to represent a wide range
of soils or structural materials. In addition, SIGMA/W can model the
pore-water pressure generation and dissipation in a soil structure in
response to external loads. These features enable SIGMA/W to analyze almost any stress or deformation
problem you will encounter in geotechnical, civil, and mining
engineering projects. QUAKE/W is a geotechnical finite element CAD software product for the
dynamic analysis of earth structures subjected to earthquake shaking,
or point dynamic forces from a blast or a sudden impact load.
QUAKE/W determines the motion and excess pore-water pressures
that arise due to shaking. Its comprehensive formulation makes QUAKE/W
well suited to analyzing a wide range of problems. Generalized material property functions allow you to use any laboratory
or published data. Three constitutive models are supported: a
Linear-Elastic model, an Equivalent Linear model, and an effective
stress Non-Linear model. QUAKE/W uses the Direct Integration Method
to compute the motion and excess pore-water pressures arising from
inertial forces at user-defined time steps.QUAKE/W can be used to analyze almost any dynamic earthquake problem you
will encounter in your geotechnical, civil, and mining engineering
projects.
TEMP/W is a finite element CAD software product for analyzing thermal
changes in the ground due to environmental factors or the
construction of facilities such as buildings or pipelines. The
comprehensive formulation makes it possible to analyze both simple
and highly complex geothermal problems. TEMP/W can be applied to the
geothermal analysis and design of geotechnical, civil, and mining
engineering projects, including facilities subjected to
freezing and thawing temperature changes.TEMP/W is formulated to account for the latent heat associated
with water turning into ice and ice turning into water. The rate
at which the latent heat is absorbed or released is controlled by
an unfrozen water content function. Above the phase change temperature,
all the water is unfrozen. As the temperature falls below the phase
change point, the portion of the water that remains unfrozen decreases.
Complete flexibility in defining the unfrozen water content function
makes it possible to analyze a wide variety of ground conditions. When
linked with SEEP/W or
AIR/W it can consider convective heat transfer
caysed by flowing water or moving air. CTRAN/W is a finite element CAD software product that can be used to
model the movement of contaminants through porous materials such
as soil and rock. The comprehensive formulation of CTRAN/W makes
it possible to analyze problems varying from simple particle tracking
in response to the movement of water, to complex processes involving
diffusion, dispersion, adsorption, radioactive decay and density
dependencies. CTRAN/W can be applied to the analysis and design of
geotechnical, civil, hydrogeological, and mining engineering projects. AIR/W is a finite element CAD software product for analyzing groundwater-air
interaction problems within porous materials such as soil and rock. Its
comprehensive formulation allows you to consider analyses ranging from
simple, saturated steady-state problems to sophisticated, saturated/unsaturated
time-dependent problems. AIR/W can be applied to the analysis and design
of geotechnical, civil, hydrogeological, and mining engineering projects. VADOSE/W is a finite element CAD software product for analyzing flow from
the environment, across the ground surface, through the unsaturated
vadose zone and into the local groundwater regime. Its comprehensive
formulation allows the analysis of both simple and complex problems,
from a simple analysis of ground infiltration due to rainfall,
to a sophisticated model considering
snow melt and root transpiration as well as surface evaporation, runoff,
ponding, and gas diffusion. VADOSE/W can be applied to the analysis and
design of geotechnical, mining, hydrogeological, agricultural, and civil
engineering projects.
