The GEOMECCANICA (Rock Mechanics) software allows you to assess the stability of rock slopes by searching for possible failure kinematics.‎ TYPOLOGY OF WORKSThe GEOMECCANICA (Rock Mechanics) software allows you to assess the stability of rock slopes by searching for possible failure kinematics.‎ The software takes into account both the effect of the water table and the effect of earthquakes in the calculation.‎ The software then analyses the following issues: Representation and processing of the detected discontinuity systems; Detailed analysis of failure kinematics; Classification of the rock mass; Determination of the instantaneous Mohr-Coulomb resistance parameters.‎ CALCULATION METHODS USEDThe representation of the positions of the discontinuity planes is carried out, by the programme, by means of spherical, equatorial or polar projections.‎ In addition, it is possible to use area-preserving project ions (equireal project ions ) or angles (equiangular projections).‎ The determination of the main discontinuity families is obtained by processing the orientation data in a frequency programme.‎ For counting falling poles in cells, one can opt for the circle-counting method.‎ The software proposes the use of the Markland Test or the Harrison & Hudson Test to quantitatively identify discontinuities representing slip planes in a rock slope.‎ For the evaluation of the safety coefficients of probable failure kinematics (planar, wedge-shaped, direct overturning) the software uses the limit equilibrium method.‎ INPUT DATA GEOMECCANICA (Rock Mechanics) software requires the following data - lay of the face and related geometric data - lay of the discontinuities - main discontinuities - definition of specific fracture kinematics - parameters for the classification of the rock mass through the Barton and Bieniawski methods - seismic characterisation of the site under examination RESULTSThe results proposed by the GEOMECCANICA (Rock Mechanics) software are the following : - statistical analysis and kinematic possibilities for the analysed discontinuities - results concerning the specific kinematics and those determined by the programme as a function of the assigned discontinuities - Barton and Bieniawski classification of the analysed rock mass - instantaneous Mohr-Coulomb parameters according to Hoek-Brown and Barton Each displayed drawing can be printed out on any Windows® managed device.‎ Print management is by means of a preview or pagination function.‎ Export to DXF, BMP, WMF and JPG format is also possible.‎ Generates an accurate report in customisable RTF format that allows the user to select upstream the forms to be generated, the report format, etc.‎ The programme has context-sensitive help and a manual in PDF format.‎ NORMATIVES- NTC 2008 (Technical Standards for Construction) and its integrations - D.‎M.‎ 88 + D.‎M.‎ 96 - NTC2018 - Circular 21 January 2019 n.‎7 C.‎S.‎LL.‎PP
