0:00 Introduction to Slope Stability & SLIDE 0:58 Configuring Project Settings & Coordinates 3:45 Drawing the External Slope Boundary 7:02 Defining Material Properties (Sandstone & Granite) 9:15 Assigning Materials to Layers 11:30 Setting up the Slip Surface Grid Search 12:45 Running the Analysis & Interpreting Factor of Safety 13:50 Final Conclusion & Summary
Learn how to perform a professional Slope Stability Analysis using SLIDE (Rocscience) in this comprehensive civil engineering tutorial. We walk through a practical example of a layered slope (Sandstone over Granite) to calculate the Factor of Safety (FS).
In this video, you will learn:
Project Settings: How to set up coordinates, limits, and failure direction.
Material Modeling: Defining properties for different soil and rock layers.
Surface Analysis: Using the Grid Search method to find the critical slip surface.
Result Interpretation: Understanding the Factor of Safety and failure slip surfaces.
Whether you're a student or a practicing geotechnical engineer, this step-by-step walkthrough simplifies complex software inputs into an easy-to-follow workflow.

This tutorial explains how to conduct slope stability analysis using SLIDE 2 of Rocscience. You will learn how to draw the slope geometry and assign engineering properties to different rock/soil layers. It also shows how to draw a groundwater table and assign the water table to different rock layers. Using this software, you can select different methods of LEM (Limit Equilibrium Method) analysis, including the Bishop Simplified method and Morgenstern-Price method. The software offers different ways to search for the critical failure plane (i.e., the failure plane with the lowest safety factor); additionally, you can search for the failure planes with the range of a factor of safety using the auto grid option. Such a slope stability analysis is essential in geotechnical engineering and civil engineering.
