    Best way to model a slope with retaining walls in SLOPE/W

    Acording to this document (http://downloads.geo-slope.com/geostudioresources/examples/8/16/SlopeW/Gravity%20retaining%20wall.pdf), there is another option in the version 8. A "high strength" soil model can be used, only the unit weight of the wall needs to be specified.

    Best way to model a slope with retaining walls in SLOPE/W

    Hello everyone, I'm checking a slope stability analysis. There are a couple of gravity retaining walls on a slope. The person who is doing the analysis says that there is no way SLOPE/W can consider retaining walls, so he uses anchors instead to model the walls. For me this does not make sense...

    Question about inlet design using HEC-22

    Thanks a lot for your reply. I had to ask, everything seems ok. My problem is that I cannot change the inlet spacing, nor the inlet type, it is a long story. I think that the message seems to be a warning, as you pointed out. But it's kind of weird that in some inlets the efficiency is about 98%...

    Question about inlet design using HEC-22

    Hello everybody. I'm designing some inlets using the procedures in HEC-22. I'm using the FHWA Hydraulic Toolbox. In some inlets, this message is shown: "The approach velocitiy is greater than the splash-over velocity. Please consider a longer grate or a different configuration." I've checked the...
