Webinar: Retaining walls in OPTUM G2

Sandra MyrtueWebinars

Retaining walls come in a wide variety of types including mass gravity walls, mechanically stabilized earth walls, gabion walls and sheet pile walls. All of these can be analysed efficiently and accurately using OPTUM G2. The unique ability to compute rigorous upper and lower bounds on the true Factor of Safety (FoS), combined with automatic mesh adaptivity, makes OPTUM G2 … Read More

Webinar: Slope stability in OPTUM G2

Sandra MyrtueWebinars

OPTUM G2 is a user-friendly and powerful 2D geotechnical software unlike anything you have worked with before.In OPTUM G2, factors of safety are computed using Strength Reduction Finite Element Limit Analysis (SR-FELA). Besides short calculation times, SR-FELA also provides the possibility to calculate rigorous upper and lower bounds on the true factor of safety. In practice, this means that the … Read More
