    GEO STUDIO PRODUCTS

    SLOPE/W

    SLOPE/W is the leading slope stability software for soil and rock slopes. SLOPE/W can
    effectively analyze both simple and complex problems for a variety of slip surface shapes,
    pore-water pressure conditions, soil properties, and loading conditions.

    PORE-WATER PRESSURE

    Pore-water pressures can be defined using piezometric lines, spatial functions, or the results
    from other GeoStudio finite element analyses. Values can be displayed as contours on the
    geometry to reveal PWP values used in the analysis.

    RAPID DRAWDOWN

    Rapid drawdown analysis can be conducted using the pore-water pressures defined using
    piezometric lines, transient finite element GeoStudio analyses, or the multi-stage rapid
    drawdown technique.

    MATERIAL MODELS

    SLOPE/W supports a comprehensive list of material models including Mohr-Coulomb,


    undrained, high strength, impenetrable, bilinear, anisotropic strength, SHANSEP, spatial
    Mohr-Coulomb and more.

    LIMIT STATE DESIGN

    Limit state design or load resistance factor design is handled by specifying partial factors on
    permanent/variable loads, seismic coefficients, material properties, reinforcement inputs and
    more.
    SEEP/W

    GROUNDWATER FLOW ANALYSIS


    SEEP/W is a powerful finite element software product for modeling groundwater flow in
    porous media. SEEP/W can model simple saturated steady-state problems or sophisticated
    saturated / unsaturated transient analyses with atmospheric coupling at the ground surface.

    BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

    SEEP/W supports a range of boundary condition options. Field data or user-specified


    functional relationships can be inputted to define hydrographs, reservoir fluctuations, rainfall
    cycles, vegetation effects, or land-climate interactions.

    INTEGRATION

    Integration of SEEP/W with SLOPE/W makes it possible to analyze the stability of any
    natural or man-made system subject to transient changes in pore-water pressure.

    MATERIAL PROPERTIES

    Hydraulic conductivity and volumetric water content functions can be estimated using built-
    in functions. The estimation process requires only fundamental information. A saturated-only
    material model is also available.

    SATURATED/UNSATURATED

    The rigorous saturated/unsaturated formulation of SEEP/W means that even the most
    demanding flow problems, such as infiltration into dry soil or seepage through complex
    upstream tailings dams, can be analyzed with ease.
    SLOPE/W

    STRESS AND DEFORMATION ANALYSIS

    SIGMA/W is a powerful finite element software product for modeling stress and deformation
    in earth and structural materials. SIGMA/W analyses may range from simple linear elastic
    simulations to soil-structure interaction problems with nonlinear material models.

    CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE

    GeoStudio's Analysis Tree models even the most complex construction sequences. Analyses
    are added to the Tree, forming a Parent-Child relationship in which each new analysis
    represents a part of the construction sequence.  

    COUPLED CONSOLIDATION

    The coupled stress and pore-water pressure formulation can be used to model construction
    sequencing involving fill placement, excavation, and soil-structure interaction. 

    SLOPE/W

    INTEGRATION

    The stresses and/or pore-water pressures from a SIGMA/W analysis can be used directly in
    SLOPE/W to do a stress-based stability analysis. 

    STRESS REDISTRIBUTION

    Stress redistribution analysis is used to conduct a strength reduction slope stability analysis,
    model stress transfer onto structures such as pile walls installed within failed slopes, or
    calculate permanent deformations.
    QUAKE/W

    DYNAMIC STRESS ANALYSIS

    QUAKE/W models dynamic stresses arising from earthquake shaking or dynamic point


    forces from a blast or sudden impact. QUAKE/W simulates the impact of these stresses on
    earth structures.  

    EARTHQUAKE RECORDS

    Earthquake time history records can be imported and scaled for a dynamic analysis.
    Modify the peak acceleration and duration to ensure the values used in the QUAKE/W
    analysis represent site-specific conditions.
     

    NEWMARK ANALYSES

    The QUAKE/W computed dynamic forces can be used in SLOPE/W to compute yield
    accelerations and potential permanent deformations for each trial slip surface. 

    EXCESS PORE PRESSURE

    Excess pore-pressures computed by QUAKE/W together with the initial static pore-pressures
    can be used in SLOPE/W to examine the effect of the elevated pore-pressures on stability

    TEMP/W

    HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS

    TEMP/W is a powerful finite element software product for modeling heat transfer and phase
    change in porous media. TEMP/W can analyze simple conduction problems to complex
    surface energy simulations with cyclical freeze-thaw.
    CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY

    The convective heat transfer boundary condition simulates artificial ground freezing or other
    processes involving the flow of fluid over or within a bounding surface.
     

    FORCED CONVECTION

    Heat transfer is often governed by forced convection in natural hydrogeological systems.


    TEMP/W can be fully-integrated with SEEP/W or AIR/W to analyze heat transfer via
    groundwater flow or air flow, respectively.
     

    LAND CLIMATE INTERACTION

    Analyze problems that involve a coupling between climatic conditions and the thermal
    response within the ground in TEMP/W using the surface energy balance boundary
    condition.

    MODEL THERMOSYPHONS

    TEMP/W implements a rigorous thermosyphon boundary condition that can accommodate


    either two-dimensional or pseudo-3D analysis of thermosyphons.

    CTRAN/W

    SOLUTE AND GAS TRANSFER ANALYSIS

    CTRAN/W is a powerful finite element software product for modeling solute and gas transfer
    in porous media. CTRAN/W can be used to model simple diffusion-dominated systems
    through to complex advection-dispersion systems with first-order reactions.
    COMPREHENSIVE FORMULATION

    CTRAN/W offers the capability to model a diverse set of solute and gas transport
    mechanisms including diffusion, advection, dispersion, adsorption, decay, and density-
    dependent flow due to its comprehensive formulation.

    DUAL PHASE GAS TRANSFER

    CTRAN/W models gas transfer in both the gaseous and aqueous phases. A bulk diffusion
    coefficient, longitudinal dispersivity, and transverse dispersivity are defined for each phase.

    SATURATED AND UNSATURATED

    CTRAN/W is formulated for saturated and unsaturated transport, allowing the coefficient of
    diffusion to vary with water content and the advection process to adjust as groundwater
    velocities change in the unsaturated zone.

    SORPTION AND KINETIC REACTIONS

    CTRAN/W can model equilibrium sorption and first-order reactions such as radioactive
    decay, biodegradation, and hydrolysis.

    AIR/W

    AIR TRANSFER ANALYSIS

    AIR/W is a powerful finite element software product for modeling air transfer in mine waste
    and other porous media. AIR/W can be used to model a range of scenarios, from simple
    single phase air transfer problems to complex coupled air-water systems.
    DENSITY DEPENDENT AIR FLOW

    AIR/W can be integrated with TEMP/W to model air transfer via free convection. Density-
    driven air transfer is often a dominant mechanism in systems subjected to seasonal ground
    temperature variations.
     

    ESTIMATE MATERIAL PROPERTIES

    The air conductivity function can be generated based on the dry-soil air conductivity, a user-
    selected volumetric water content function, and basic soil properties, such as soil
    classification or grain size distribution.   
     

    FORCED-CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER

    Combine AIR/W with TEMP/W to model forced-convection heat transfer. This process often
    governs the thermal regime in coarse-grain materials such as waste rock piles, rip-rap, and
    layered embankments.

    SINGLE OR DUAL PHASE FLOW

    Air transfer analyses can be conducted using a single phase material model that only
    considers pressure and gravity-driven air flow. Alternatively, a dual phase material model can
    be used by coupling air flow and water transfer.
