Comprehensive Slope Stability and Analysis with SETAF2018
SETAF2018 is an advanced slope stability analysis program that integrates slope analysis and slope stability processes required in modern geotechnical projects into a single platform. With its robust infrastructure, it serves as a reliable slope analysis program for all terrain conditions.
Slope Modeling and Parametric Data Entry
To perform a slope analysis in SETAF2018, the "Slopes and Embankments" button under the "Define" menu is used. This comprehensive slope stability analysis program allows users to define soil layers by entering coordinates or through interactive modeling. Using this advanced slope analysis software, soil strata, groundwater table (GWT) levels, and surcharge loads can be easily integrated into the system. Thanks to various slope stability analysis methods offered by the program, safe designs can be conducted in accordance with limit equilibrium principles. Critical slip surfaces required for effective slope analysis are automatically determined by the software.
Advanced Slope Stability Analysis Methods
The most frequently used slope stability analysis methods in geotechnical engineering, such as the OMS/Fellenius and Simplified Bishop methods, are fully compatible with SETAF2018. In these slope stability analysis processes, factors of safety (FS) are precisely calculated using slice methods. As a slope analysis program supporting both circular and polygonal slip surfaces, it identifies the surface with the lowest factor of safety via its optimization module. For engineers seeking a comprehensive slope stability analysis program, SETAF2018 provides the capability to define limit values for static and seismic conditions. Selected slope stability analysis methods are converted into mathematical equations and documentation through a transparent reporting infrastructure. All iterations for professional slope stability analysis are transformed into traceable technical reports. Every slope stability analysis is further supported by soil-structure interaction models.
Slope Stability Analysis with Improvement Elements
SETAF2018 incorporates the effects of steel strand anchors and soil nails into slope stability analysis calculations to strengthen existing structures. As a slope analysis program, the software evaluates the effects that increase resistance force by considering the free and bond lengths of the anchors. Furthermore, soil nail capacities compliant with FHWA literature are assessed during slope analysis based on tendon rupture loads and pullout resistance. Through this advanced slope stability analysis program, the contribution of improvement systems to the slope can be monitored in a 3D modeling environment. All implemented slope stability analysis methods are made economical and safe with anchored or soil-nailed solutions. Every slope stability analysis conducted maximizes the application safety of the project.
Reporting and Optimization Options
SETAF2018 enables users to accelerate and provide detailed slope stability reports. As a slope analysis program, the software has the capability to display all determined slip surfaces sequentially and utilizes a "Filter Optimization" feature to weed out geometric errors. Reports prepared using the most up-to-date slope stability analysis methods are fully compatible with current standards, including the Turkey Building Earthquake Code. All tables and graphs necessary for a reliable slope stability analysis are automatically generated for the Geotechnical Project Design Report. Every slope stability analysis performed with SETAF2018 results in a professional output that transparently demonstrates engineering logic. This slope stability analysis program saves time and minimizes the margin of error, offering a comprehensive slope stability analysis solution. Various slope stability analysis methods applicable to different engineering scenarios provide users with highly flexible design opportunities. With a modern slope stability approach, your projects become ready for submission to authorities, transparent, and verifiable. Achieving high accuracy and speed in your slope stability projects is now significantly easier with SETAF2018.
