1 Geotechnical Engineering Software GEO5

2 GEO5 software suite is designed to solve various geotechnical problems. The easy -to -use suite consists of individual programs with an unified and user-friendly interface. Each program is used to analyze a different geotechnical task but all modules communicate with each other to form an integrated suite. Geotechnical Engineering Software GEO5

5 Slope Stability Analysis Slope Stability is the basic program for modelling layered slopes, embankments or earth cuts. The program solves slope stability problems assuming either circular or polygonal slips including an automatic search for the most critical surface. There are several adopted approaches starting with simplified methods (Fellenius, Bishop) up to rigorous methods (Spencer, Morgerstein, Janbu, Sarma) that fulfill all boundary conditions. The program communicates with all programs used for analysis of retaining structures and walls. Analysis of Rock Slope Stability The program analyses the stability of rock slopes and walls for a specified type of failure, including a planar or polygonal slip surface or soil (rock) wedge.

6 Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls design The MSE Wall program analyzes slopes reinforced with geo-reinforcements. It contains a built-in database of geo-reinforcements supplied by leading producers. However, it is still possible to adopt an arbitrary geo-reinforcement defined by the user.
