Geo-Tec B

Geo-Tec B allows the verification of stratified slopes in the presence of water beds and loads. Work begins by inserting geotechnical parameters. Following phases involve the defintion of slope and strata geometry using the mouse. Circular or polygonal slide surfaces can be inserted and modified using the mouse. Geo-Tec B can automatically calculate a series of circles through an interpolation between two selected extreme circles. Geo-Tec B calculates the safety coefficient for each surface using Janbu, Bishop and Fellenius methods and graphically identifies that having the lowest coefficient as the critical surface.

• Graphic insertion of slope geometry
• Verification of cylindrical and polygonal slide surfaces
• Use of Janbu, Fellenius, and Bishop methods
• Slopes stabilization with geogrids and piles
• Insertion of circles by identifying three points or a center and radius
• Graphic and numeric insertion of polygonal surfaces
• Automatic calculation and identification of the critical surface
• Graphic insertion of slope geometry
• Its support of Reinforced Earth, i.e. slopes stabilized and reinforced with synthetic geo-grids
• Immersed slopes, whether in static conditions or with simulated fast draining

What is new in this release:

• Strata characteristics floating panel: An yellow floating panel displays dynamically the strata characteristics of the slope.
• Strata names to text: The "Strata Names to text" command converts all the automatic strata descriptions of the drawing to editable text.
• The Reinforced Zones Polygons are selectable with the mouse and a double-clicking on them open the dialog window and allows to change the data.

Requirements:

• Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
