Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - From Theory to Practice: FEM and LEM in Rock Slope Stabilisation

In this webinar, we will explore the interoperability between the Finite Element (PLAXIS 2D) and Limit Equilibrium (SLOPE/W) methods in a rock slope stability problem. By leveraging both methods, you can achieve a more comprehensive and robust geotechnical analysis, combining the detailed stress-strain behavior from FEM with the simplicity and efficiency of LEM.

Topics include:

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the Finite Element and Limit Equilibrium methods, including their applications, advantages, and limitations in geotechnical applications.

  • Learn how to perform a slope stability analysis in SLOPE/W and seamlessly export the model to PLAXIS 2D for further analysis.

  • Explore different scenarios to optimize the lateral support design using reinforcement and shotcrete. Find out how to interpret the results to make informed decisions.
