RocTopple

RocTopple is an interactive software tool for performing toppling analysis and support design of rock slopes. RocTopple makes it easy to visualize the slope failure in 2D and interactive 3D and displays the potential failure mode of individual blocks (toppling, sliding, stable). It calculates a factor of safety with deterministic analysis or the probability of failure for probabilistic models. You can model variability in geometry, point of force application, joint and bedding strength, water pressure, external loads, and supports by assigning statistical distributions to variables.

Block toppling model: Analyze 2D block or block-flexural toppling stability given the slope geometry, and the joint spacing, dip and strength. RocTopple employs the Block toppling method of Goodman and Bray (1976), a Limit Equilibrium method that takes into account the toppling and sliding failure modes of each individual block.

Support and loading: Provide stability to potentially unstable slope blocks by implementing bolts and applying external loads to your models in the form of line loads, distributed loads, seismic loads and water pressure.

Integrates with:
RS2: By exporting your slope and block geometry as a DFX file into RS2, run an advanced analysis using the finite element method.
