SoilWorks VERIFICATION SUMMARY

Product catalog summary
Introduction
SoilWorks is a versatile geotechnical analysis software designed to simplify the design process by automating repetitive tasks in 2D geotechnical design. It addresses various geotechnical challenges such as tunnels, slopes, foundations, and dynamic analysis, making it a valuable tool for engineers.
Verification Summary
Theoretical and Real Model Verification
The document details the verification of SoilWorks through both theoretical and real model analyses. It includes comparisons with other software like FLAC and PLAXIS, showcasing SoilWorks' accuracy in predicting tunnel and crown displacements during construction stages.

Limit Equilibrium Analysis for Slopes
Verification using the Bishop method indicates that SoilWorks provides reliable safety factors for both dry and rainy seasons, with minimal discrepancies compared to other programs like Talren.

Finite Element Analysis for Slopes
Using the strength reduction method, SoilWorks effectively calculates the factor of safety for both unreinforced and reinforced slopes, demonstrating consistency with results from other software.
Foundation Module Analysis
SoilWorks' foundation module is validated through unit tests, showing accurate predictions of maximum displacement, moment, shear, and ground reaction forces.
1-D Consolidation Analysis
The software's capability in handling soft ground consolidation is verified, showing minimal differences in settlement predictions compared to hand calculations and other software.
Seepage Analysis
Both steady and transient flow seepage analyses are verified, with SoilWorks providing accurate water head and pressure head predictions, closely matching theoretical solutions and outputs from other software.
Conclusion
Overall, SoilWorks demonstrates high accuracy and reliability across various geotechnical analyses, making it a valuable tool for practical design in geotechnical engineering.
Theoretical Verification
This section covers the theoretical verification of wedge and plane failures in rock slopes. Key parameters include slope dip, joint dip, seismic coefficient, unit weight, water percentage, cohesion, and friction angle. The factor of safety is calculated for both dry and wet conditions, with variations in failure plane angles and water content.
Limit Equilibrium Analysis
The document provides a detailed analysis of rock slopes using limit equilibrium methods. It includes verification for both unreinforced and reinforced slopes, highlighting the impact of water content and failure plane angles on the factor of safety. The analysis also considers the effect of slope berms and reinforcement on stability.
Experimental Verification
This section compares experimental results with theoretical predictions for filling materials like marble dust and kaolinite. It discusses the variation of shear strength with the percentage of filling and the strength reduction coefficient (m) for different materials.
Real Model Verification
Real model verification is conducted for plane failures with slope berms and wedge failures. The document compares the modeling of slope berms with standard angles and evaluates the effect of different slope angles on the factor of safety.
Reinforcement Analysis
The analysis includes the effect of tensile and shear forces on the factor of safety, considering reinforcement angles and lengths. It emphasizes the importance of accounting for reinforcement spacing and position in design optimization.
Software and Support
SoilWorks is designed to streamline geotechnical problem-solving with a unified user interface. The document highlights the availability of online technical support, webinars, and technical materials to assist users in utilizing the software effectively.
