Analyzing Sliding Stability of Structures Using the Computer Program GWALL.

Abstract

This report documents the usage of the computer program GWALL to analyze the sliding stability of structures. The program provides for display of input data for easy checking and editing and requires the use of a Tektronix 4014 or other terminals with same capabilities. The analysis is a wedge method slope-stability analysis that follows the design procedures used in the Lower Mississippi Valley Division for analysis of plane failures. The program provides for calculation of uplift by entering profile of force water seepage pressures. (Author)
