The following list is a collection of the most common applications for SVSlope®. Most of them are included as sample models in our free software download.

• Analyze the effect of climatic events on the factor of safety with SVSlope and SVFlux™
• Analyze rapid drawdown of reservoir levels by coupling SVSlope with SVFlux™
• Analyze classic earth slopes and earth dams / levees. Combine slope stability analysis with stress / strain analysis by coupling with SVSolid™ or with seepage modeling by coupling with SVFlux™. (Read more about dam analysis applications here)
• Analyze weak-layer non-circular slip surfaces more effectively with the dynamic programming methodology
• Model waste rock pile stability and couple with SVFlux™ to incorporate climatic effects
• Incorporate the effect of pore-water pressures into your models by coupling with SVFlux™
• Perform probalistic analyses by entering input parameters in terms of means and standard deviations
• Design of heap leach pad drainage systems. Model preferential flow by coupling your model with SVFlux™. (additional information)
• Design of retaining walls
• Analysis of soil nail walls
• Model the stability of mine sites and mine tailings
• Determine slope bearing capacities
• Determine the effect of tension cracks on slope stability
• Design reinforcements for retaining walls
• Stability analysis of reinforced and unreinforced earth slopes with and without seepage forces.
