There are total of four analyses in the GeoStudio Project (Figure 2). Analysis #1 models the groundwater flow conditions presented in Figure 1 and forms the Parent for the stability analysis (1a).

This analysis method allows a user defined constant stress field (see Define Field Stresses in the GeoStudio menu) to be applied to the model. Field stresses are applied to the model through Draw …

SHANSEP options GeoStudio allows for three different ways of specifying the SHANSEP undrained strength (Figure 2). Figure 2 SHANSEP option specified directly as a function of the vertical effective …

The reader should review the GeoStudio file for details on the problem definition. The soil is assumed to be silty sand and is defined using a full-thermal constitutive model.

The analysis of the Lavender MRT case study demonstrates that GeoStudio can be used to model the behavior of deep shored excavations in soft ground. More importantly, the case study reveals the …

Figure 1. Problem configuration. There are four analyses in the GeoStudio project (Figure 2). The first analysis considers the slope stability conditions without a tension cracks. The remaining analyses …

This example illustratesthe power of GeoStudio product integrationby using transient SEEP/W water transfer results in SLOPE/W to evaluate the change in factor of safety over time.

In light of the importance of the San Fernando Dam case history and its prominence in the literature, it is important to show how GeoStudio, and in particular QUAKE/W, can be used to analyze a case like this.
