Design Calculators - Cover Soil Slope Stability
- Seepage Force Stability Calculator: This slope stability calculator utilizes an analytical model to determine the factor of safety of a geosynthetic lined slope, with consideration of seepage forces. Seepage induced failures have become quite common on landfill final covers and on leachate collection layers on steep slopes prior to waste placement.
- Landfill Gas Pressure Stability Calculator: This slope stability calculator determines the factor of safety of a landfill cover subject to landfill gas pressure underneath a geomembrane liner. This calculator assumes that no seepage forces are present. The unit gradient calculator can be used to calculate the required transmissivity of the drainage geocomposite, to ensure that no seepage forces are present.
- Veneer Reinforcement Stability Calculator: This slope stability calculator utilizes an analytical model to determine the factor of safety of a reinforced geosynthetic lined slope. This calculator assumes that no seepage forces are present. The unit gradient calculator can be used to calculate the required transmissivity of the drainage geocomposite, to ensure that no seepage forces are present.
- Seismic Force Stability Calculator: This slope stability calculator utilizes a pseudo-static analysis to determine the factor of safety of a geosynthetic lined slope when seismic forces are present. This calculator assumes that no seepage forces are present. The unit gradient calculator can be used to calculate the required transmissivity of the drainage geocomposite, to ensure that no seepage forces are present.
