Computer Applications in Geotechnical Engineering (CAGE) and Geotechnical Aspects of the Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (G-CASE) projects. User's Guide: UTEXAS2 Slope-Stability Package. Volume 1. User's Manual
Abstract
UTEXAS2, called IOO29 in the Conversationally Oriented Real-Time Program-Generating System (CORPS) library, is a slope stability program designed to analyze slopes by any of the following four methods, Spencer's procedure, simplified Bishop's procedure, force equilibrium procedure with Corps of Engineers Modified Swedish side-force assumption of parallel side forces at a user-specified inclination, and force equilibrium procedure with Lowe and Karafiath's side force assumption. The program will calculate the safety factor for either a prescribed shear surface or for a search of the critical shear surface. Both circular and noncircular shear surfaces can be evaluated. UTEXAS2 is written in FORTRAN and is operational on the following systems: Micro- computers using MS-DOS operating system; District office Harris 500 computers; and Cybernet contract service. Data for UTEXAS2 must be in a previously prepared data file. Output from the program is directed to a user specified file. Input and output graphics are available during program execution.
