While Dips looked at the rock's orientation, Slide looked at its safety. It was the industry benchmark for 2D limit equilibrium slope stability analysis. Engineers used it to model soil or rock slopes and calculate the "Factor of Safety"—a number that determines whether a slope is stable or if a landslide is imminent.

In the world of geotechnical engineering, the ground is never just "dirt." It is a complex puzzle of forces, fractures, and fluid dynamics. For decades, engineers have relied on sophisticated software to solve these puzzles, ensuring that tunnels don't collapse, slopes remain stable, and foundations settle evenly. Unwedge 3
Unwedge 3.0 is a software tool for analyzing and designing tunnel excavations in rock. It assesses the stability of tunnel wedges and calculates the support requirements to ensure safe excavation and long-term stability. Unwedge 3.0 takes into account the orientation of joint sets, rock properties, and tunnel geometry to predict potential instability issues. and fluid dynamics. For decades
