Overview

RocSlope2 is a comprehensive 3D stability analysis software developed by Rocscience. It enables engineers to analyze complex geological structures, particularly rock slopes susceptible to wedge, planar, and toppling failures. The software offers a single platform to assess the formation of 3D blocks resulting from joint intersections and slope formations. With its integrated Stereonet View, users can better visualize joint orientation data, facilitating the identification and reinforcement of potential failures. RocSlope2 streamlines the creation and analysis of rock slope models, allowing for efficient probabilistic analysis and improved result visualization

Features and Capabilities

• Comprehensive 3D Analysis: Analyze the formation of 3D blocks from joint intersections and slope formations to assess wedge, planar, and toppling failures.
• Stereonet View: Visualize joint orientation data effectively to understand geological structures better.
• Probabilistic Analysis: Define model input parameters as random variables and create thousands of different models simultaneously to determine the probability of failure across all failure modes.
• Result Visualization: Utilize various data display options, including result grids, detailed block results, scatter plots, histograms, cumulative plots, and Stereonet views, for enhanced interpretation of analysis outcomes.
• Automatic Bolt Pattern Location: Identify numerous failures and employ the automatic bolt pattern locating feature to reinforce the most at-risk blocks by providing parameters for bolt placement.
• Bench Design Optimization: Input geological, hydrogeological, and structural data to develop optimal bench slopes that meet safety and design constraints, aiding in open-pit mine designs.
• Water Pressure Analysis: Apply water pressure to models and represent magnitudes, forces, and wetted extents using various display options, including ponded water and joint water pressure contours.
• Deterministic Analysis: Calculate the factor of safety for all formed blocks in wedge, planar, and toppling analyses, displaying the critical mode of failure for each block.
• Data Exporting: Export geometry, data, and charts to Excel; copy to clipboard; export image files; and generate analysis summary reports.
