software tools for rock and soil
WHAT IS SLIDE?
Slide is a powerful, user-friendly, 2D limit equilibrium slope stability analysis program for all types of soil and rock
slopes, embankments, earth dams, and retaining walls. Slide includes built-in finite element groundwater seepage
analysis, probabilistic analysis, multi-scenario modeling, and support design.
WHY CHOOSE SLIDE?
