Description	SLOPE 12R is a computer program for analysing the stability of slopes, also applicable to earth pressure and bearing capacity problems. The reinforced soil facilities are available for the analysis and design of reinforced soil slopes and walls. Main Features: Automatically generates slip surfaces to find the critical failure mechanism. The ground can be described in terms of up to nine soil strata with different strength properties. Multiple water tables or piezometric surfaces modelled. In simple cases pore pressures are calculated from the position of the water table but in more complicated flow conditions local values of pore pressure can be defined. Perched water tables and artesian pressures can be modelled by specifying additional piezometric surfaces associated with individual strata. Circular and non-circular slip surfaces can be analysed. A group of circular slip surfaces can be analysed by defining a rectangular grid of centres. For each centre a number of different radii can be specified. Alternatively the circles can be made to pass through a common point or touch a common tangent. Two and three part wedges can be analysed. A group of wedges can be analysed by defining a rectangular grid of wedge nodes. Analysis methods: Swedish Circle (or Fellenius') method; Bishop's method; Spencer's method; Janbu's method. External forces (due to buildings or strut forces in excavations) can be applied to the ground surface. Earthquake forces can be modelled in a quasi-static manner by specifying horizontal and vertical acceleration factors. Reinforced soil options: Designs the optimum arrangement of reinforcement; Choice of fabric, grid or strip reinforcement or soil nails; Calculates reinforcement forces according to standard procedures. The Graphical User Interface facilitates the entry of geometrical data using the mouse. Data may be entered in any consistent set of units e.g. (kN,m), (lb,feet). Output from the program consists of the following: Listing of input data; Brief output for individual circles or wedges; Factors of safety; Disturbing and restoring forces; Detailed output for the critical circle or wedge; Factor of safety; Force distribution on the slip surface; Force distribution in the slipping mass; Details of each reinforcement layer; Summary output of critical circle (or wedge) through each common point; Grid of factors of safety at circle centres (or wedge nodes).
