Limit Equilibrium Analysis Software
Factor of Safety Calculation for Mining Slopes
Run circular and non-circular failure surface searches with automatic critical surface identification. Support for drained, undrained, and pseudo-static seismic analysis.
K-MINE limit equilibrium analysis searches for critical failure surfaces using circular, non-circular, and composite slip geometries with automatic identification of the minimum factor of safety. Support drained, undrained, and pseudo-static seismic loading conditions with piezometric surface inputs and pore pressure ratio definitions. Run parametric studies on material strength and water level scenarios to quantify slope design sensitivity and inform risk-based decision making.
Limit Equilibrium Analysis
Calculate factor of safety using Bishop Simplified, Janbu, and Force Polygon methods with support for groundwater conditions, tension cracks, and bench loads across heterogeneous slopes.
Finite Element Stress Modeling
Evaluate stress-strain distribution and deformation behavior using FEM for complex geometries where standard limit equilibrium assumptions are insufficient.
Rock Mass Rating & Classification
Enter physical-mechanical properties, strength parameters, and bench structure to classify geotechnical risk and identify potentially unstable zones by sector.
Cross-Section Visualization
Build cross-sections through pit walls combining drillhole data, block model properties, and interpreted geology to visualize faults, stratification, and stability-critical features.
Slope Condition Monitoring
Track displacement and groundwater indicators over time, set thresholds to flag changes requiring review, and validate analysis assumptions against observed behavior.
Results Export to Pit Design
Store geotechnical properties and ratings directly in block model fields, generate stability reports with factor of safety outputs, and share results for sector-based slope angle decisions.
