Introduction

The anisotropy of materials can be simulated using various strength models in SLOPE/W.

The objective of this document is to illustrate the use of three material models to simulate the soil strength of material within a slope profile. The three material models are the Anisotropic Strength model, the Anisotropic Function model and the Mohr-Coulomb model with anisotropic function. A tension crack angle is also simulated in this example with a single grid and radius slip surface.
