<b>UTEXAS</b> is a slope stability software package created by Dr. Stephen G. Wright of the University of Texas at Austin. UTEXAS is used to analyze slope stability using the limit equilibrium method. The user provides the geometry and shear strength parameters for the slope in question and UTEXAS4 computes a factor of safety against slope failure. The factor of safety for a candidate failure surface is computed as the forces driving failure along the surface divided by the shear resistance of the soils along the surface. UTEXAS4 is a state-of-the-art slope stability code and has been widely used in industry for many years. | <b>UTEXAS</b> is a slope stability software package created by Dr. Stephen G.

Another method for specifying the pore water pressure is "Pressure Interpolated" which uses a set of points where each point has a value representing the pore pressure at that point. In GMS, | Another method for specifying the pore water pressure is "Pressure Interpolated" which uses a set of points where each point has a value representing the pore pressure at that point. In GMS, a user can do this by associating a dataset from a 2D mesh with the material. The dataset might come from a [[GMS:SEEP2D|SEEP2D]] solution, since SEEP2D is a model in GMS that can solve for pore pressures. | ||
