The principal objective of this research project was development of computer programs for the stability analysis rock slopes adjacent to Tennessee State routes and highways. Three computer programs: PlaneSlip, WedgeSlip and RockSlip, collectively referred to as the ROCKSUP PACKAGE^ were developed. For specific application to slopes in folded rocks, a new analysis procedure based on potential energy was developed.
Program Features
l Windows Based -the programs are compatible with Windows 95/98/NT operating systems. The current version of the programs is version IJ.
l Units of Measurement – the programs automatically convert between fps (English) and SI measuring systems.
l Anto-Redraw- (PlaneSlip& WedgeSlip). The auto-redraw function allows the user to adjust parameters and see in “real-time” how these changes affect slope sterility.
l Rockbolts- the effects of rock reinforcement ate included in PlaneSlip and WedgeSlip; parameters include number of bolts, orientation, tensile and shear Capacity, minimum embedment length and horizontal spacing.
l Eiamples-aeveral example probienis baaed on pubBshed results are included.
l Water Level & Pressure – the height of water in the tension crack controls the magnitude of water pressure acting on the slope.
l Drainage Impedance- included in PlaneSlip and WedgeSlip. Drainage impedance allows the user to change the pressure distribution behind the slope by varying the drainage conditions along the sliding plane and at the toe of the slope.
l Tension Crack Angle –included in PlaneSlip
l Graphical Output- the programs optionally display several diagrams (including stereographic projections, cross sections and variables diagram).
