Application of the Program Mathematica in Developing Rock Slope Stability Analyses Methods

In the last few years some alternative approaches concerning methods of rock slope stability analyses have appeared beside the traditional or deterministic principle. The so-called partial factor principle and the probabilistic approach have been introduced. However, the solution of stability large-scale rock slopes is still not found to a sufficient degree regarding the complex shape of the slip surface and the calculation of the factor of safety. To carry out correct large-scale rock slopes stability analysis it is necessary to establish a complex geotechnical model with thoroughly processed geological data. The program Mathematica, as a fully integrated environment for technical computing, facilitated the development of algorithm MathSlope assigned for rock slope stability analysis according to above-mentioned requirements. In this paper the basics of the algorithm MathSlope are presented in view of processing geological data, set-up of geotechnical model and method of estimation. In addition, the results of stability analyses of a rock slope case are given.
