pyBIMstab: Application software for 2D slope stability analysis of block-in-matrix and homogeneous materials

摘要

We present the application software,pyBIMstab, which evaluates the factor of safety (FS) against sliding of slopes made of either blocks-in-matrix (bimsoil?bimrock) taking into account the tortuosity of failure surface or homogeneous materials with typical circularly-shaped surfaces. In the case of tortuous surfaces, they are found with the optimum pathfinding algorithm namedA?(A star).
