Need Tips on Evaluation of Soil Slope Stability Softwares
(OP)
I need some critical input/evaluation/feedback about each of the following soil slope stability software, preferable comparison among the software, advantages/disadvantages etc.
- SlopeW (Geoslope)
- GSlope (Mitre software)
- Slide (Rocscience)
Another one is perhaps UTEXAS3 ?
Currently I am using XSTABL... but thinking about getting a more user friendly one.
Thanks for your help/tips.

If you do not do a lot of real sophisticated slope stability analyses, consider the Caltrans Snail program. It's FREE!

Simple question, not straight forward answer. There is plenty of software out there. It seems though that SlopeW V.5 is the winning racing car of these days in slope stability analysis. It is the F3 ultimate tool in SS! I leave out F1 since it is nowdays filled in with FE programs (3D versions etc.). There are some disadvantages with SlopeW; you cannot incorporate that easily structural elements and there is a void for stiffness based solutions.
It is not yet a FE but for limit equilibrium analysis the output version and the setup of the problem is user friendly, dynamic and helpful. With all its limitations it is a good tool for 90% of slope stability problems. It is used internationally from experts with good feedabck and the service from the suppliers is not that bad. I hope you do not trouble yourself that much with which one to buy but how to use it! Goodluck with your purchase.
