Overview

UnWedge is a 3D stability analysis and visualization software developed by Rocscience for evaluating the geometry and stability of underground wedges formed by intersecting structural discontinuities in rock masses surrounding underground excavations. It enables engineers to model and analyze the stability of wedges in tunnels and other underground structures, considering factors such as shear strength, water pressure, field stress, and support systems. The software provides both deterministic and probabilistic analysis capabilities, allowing for comprehensive assessment of wedge stability under various conditions.

Features and Capabilities

• 3D Wedge Modeling: Visualize and analyze underground excavations with intersecting discontinuities in a 3D environment.
• Deterministic and Probabilistic Analysis: Perform both deterministic and probabilistic analyses to assess wedge stability, incorporating variability in joint orientations, strengths, water pressures, and field stresses.
• Support Design: Design support systems such as pattern or spot bolts, shotcrete layers, or uniform pressure to achieve desired factors of safety.
• Automate from Excel: Compute multiple analysis cases using pre-processed Excel input data, facilitating batch processing and result generation.
• Comprehensive Visualization: Utilize various views including 3D Wedge View, Multi-Perspective View, End Wedges View, and Front/Perspective View for thorough analysis and presentation.
• Integration with Other Rocscience Tools: Seamlessly integrate with other Rocscience software for enhanced geotechnical analysis workflows.
• User-Friendly Interface: Benefit from an intuitive and interactive interface designed for quick and easy modeling and analysis.
