RockPlane is a software tool for
the evaluation of localized instability rock
elements affected by seismic movements and/or by
presence of water pressures within intersurface
fractures. The software provides slide and toppling
risk safety factors that enable verification of the
stability of the block and as required the design of
stabilization works using active or passive anchors
and nails.
Verification is performed on the basis of Limit
Equilibrium with Mohr-Coulomb or Barton-Bandis
failure criteria; On the block are taken into
consideration: Weight, Hydrostatic thrust in tension
cracks a seismic force.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Computation of safety factor for slide and
toppling;
• Computation of anchor whether active or passive or
nail;
• Computation of safety factor after insertion of
support works.
• Either triangular or rhomboid block form.
• All analysis can be performed in static or seismic
conditions.
