Description SLOPBG is part of the Prokon suite of programs, but is also available seperately. It allows the analysis of a generalized soil slope using Bishop's modified method. The slope may be subjected to line and uniformly distributed loads, may be reinforced with metal strips or geofabric, may be clad and may be stabilized with anchors. The slope may consist of material of differing shear strength properties and faults and discontinuities can be defined. Water pressures are accounted for using either phreatic lines, pore pressure contours or a single pore pressure coefficient. Horizontal and vertical seismic forces are considered. The program can search for the critical minimum factor of safety circle. The program can be run in a deterministic or probabilistic mode. In deterministic mode a single value or best estimate is used to characterise the value of the input variable and a single value, the factor of safety, is obtained. In probabilistic mode several statistical distribution types can be applied to best reflect the range of input variables. A simulation technique is then used to generate pseudo-variables used to calculate the distribution of the factor of safety.
