D-Stability

D-Stability contains three Limit Equilibrium Methods by Bishop, Spencer and Uplift-Van. It supports both drained and undrained material behavior. To facilitate the undrained Shansep analysis, D-Stability allows for staged construction to administrate the yield stress field. The safety factor can be calculated in each construction stage to administrate the safety of a design in time.
D-Stability supports loads and reinforcements. It displays the representative slip circle and alows for detailed inspection of the forces acting upon each slice. This all in a user-friendly interface to enable efficient assessment and design.
