Course Overview

SHARE

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the user interface of each module, guiding you through input configuration, module navigation, output management, and Calcpad integration. You’ll learn about various input options and their effects, explore the layout and tools to enhance your workflow, access and interpret results, and publish outputs to Calcpad for professional reporting. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to effectively utilise the tools and maximise productivity. 

Course Objectives

After completing this course participants should be able to understand and/or create:

  • Understand the Subgrade Modulus parameter and its’ effects.
  • Make full use of the following modules:
    • E01 – Bishop’s Slope Stability Analysis.
    • E02 – Generalised Non-Circular Slip Analysis.
    • E03 – Tetrahedral Wedge Analysis.
    • E04 – Planar Failure in Rock Slopes.
    • E11 – Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations.
    • E12 – Shear Strength of Jointed Rock Masses.
    • E13 – Shear Strength of Rough Joints in Rocks.
    • E14 – Pile Bearing Capacity.
