01 2D Slope
GTS NX
Procedure • 2D nonlinear time history analysis coupled with slope stability •Plane strain elements are used to model ground condition.
•Free Field boundary conditions used for time history analysis. •Ground Acceleration used as dynamic load.
For performing slope stability analysis using the finite element method (FEM), use higher order elements and triangle shaped elements while applying seismic static coefficient and time history function.
