Description
This course provides a practical and comprehensive introduction to slope stability analysis usingPLAXIS 2D, one of the most powerful finite element tools in geotechnical engineering. Whether you are a student, researcher, or practicing engineer, this course equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to model and analyze slopes under various conditions.
You will begin with the fundamentals of slope stability and learn how to simulate different soil behaviors using theMohr-Coulomb model. The course then explores the impact of groundwater conditions on slope stability, demonstrating how changes in the water table can significantly influence safety factors and potential failure mechanisms.
You’ll also learn how to performslope stability analysis near a strip foundation, an important consideration for real-world construction projects. In the final tutorial, you will model and analyze the stability of aroad embankment reinforced with geogrids, gaining insight into how geosynthetics improve slope performance.
Each tutorial is clearly explained and includes step-by-step demonstrations to help you apply what you learn directly in PLAXIS 2D. No prior experience with the software is required—this course is designed to be beginner-friendly while still offering valuable knowledge for experienced users.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently set up and interpret slope stability problems in PLAXIS 2D, making you better prepared for academic research, consulting work, or on-site engineering challenges.
