It provides a clear 3D perspective of the wedges surrounding a tunnel or cavern.
Dips 6.0 is a specialized tool designed for the interactive analysis of orientation-based geological data. It uses stereographic projection to allow engineers to visualize and analyze structural data in the same way they would with a manual stereonet.
The integration between these tools allows for a seamless workflow. For instance, orientation data analyzed in can be directly used to define joint sets in UnWedge or Slide . This interoperability reduces manual data entry errors and increases the efficiency of the design process. It provides a clear 3D perspective of the
Dips 6.0 is widely used for identifying potential failure modes in rock slopes, such as planar sliding, wedge sliding, and toppling.
Engineers can model various support types, including geotextiles, soil nails, rock bolts, and anchors, to design effective stabilization measures. 4. UnWedge 3.0: Underground Rock Analysis The integration between these tools allows for a
Settle3D (now evolved into Settle3) is a powerful 3-dimensional program for the analysis of vertical consolidation and settlement under foundations, embankments, and surface loads.
The software calculates immediate settlement, primary consolidation, and secondary compression (creep) over time, providing a clear picture of how a structure will behave throughout its lifespan. 3. Slide 6.0: The Standard in 2D Slope Stability Dips 6
Version 2.0 introduced robust ways to model circular, rectangular, or polygonal load shapes.
Engineers can define complex soil strata with varying properties, allowing for realistic simulations of ground conditions.
It allows for the calculation of contour plots and the identification of joint sets through clustering algorithms.
