This seminar consists of 2 half-day modules.

The basics of slope failure analyses according to DIN 4084, EC 7/DIN 1054 and the functionalities of the program GGU-STABILITY are explained.

Using practical examples, various embankment systems are converted into calculation models and analysed.

The following contents are covered:

Limit state – mechanics – kinematics (basics)
Failure mechanisms, circular and polygonal failure/slip bodies
Actions E (dead and live loads, tension members, water pressure)
Resistances R (soil properties)
Basic functions and program settings
System structure with the definition of soil stratification, soil properties, loads
Simple water pressure approaches
Slope failure analysis using slip circles (variation of centre points and of slip surface radii)
Slope failure analysis using slip bodies (Janbu, vertical slice method and general wedge method)
Slip body variations
Evaluation of the calculations, utilisation factors, contours, most unfavourable slip circle, force polygon, displacement diagram
Introduction to the functions of the integrated Mini-CAD modules
