Software for Slope Stability Analysis
Software for Slope Stability Analysis
(OP)
I am shopping for software that will perform basic slope stability analysis. Would like it to be user friendly and possibly have some initial tech support as I am learning to use it. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Both, SLIDE and SLOPE/W have nice technical manuals with solved examples.
Also, for soil parameters (fully softened and residual strengths), I would recommend the spreadsheet from Prof. Stark website:

There are, however, other alternatives for commercial software:
FIDES
GEO5
GEOSTRU
OASYS
GGU
LIMITSTATE GEO
GALENA
For free software, there are the following alternatives:
VERRUIJT software
USGS
SCOOPS3D
SSAP2010 (great software, if you can understand Italian)
If you only need simple circular surfaces and no soil reinforcement, a simple spreadsheet based on the modified Bishop method could be enough. As an example, you can find my spreadsheet (still needing some additional work) in the following link:
SlopeBishopVBA_v1.0.3

As for learning how to use them, once you get it installed; you will have to rely on the manuals.

UDEC could be used for rock slopes.
FlacSlope is probably what you are looking for, unless you want to have a multi-purpose software package.
All of these are from Itasca Consulting Group.

ReSSA by Adama Software (US$1150)
G-Slope by Mitre Software (US$1250)
Geo5 by Fine Software (US$750)
Geo-Tec B by Interstudio (US$500)
New one I just found, MacSlope, for Mac and iPad ($700)
You can sometimes find free versions of older software such as ReSSA 1.0, UTexas2 or Stable. Some software have different demo or rental versions that can help learn the software at minimal expense.
