Introduction

The objective of this example is to demonstrate how to use computed pore-water pressures from a water transfer analysis in a SLOPE/W stability analysis. This steady-state water transfer analysis creates a perched water table under long-term net infiltration of precipitation. This perched condition is properly handled by using the water transfer results from SEEP/W and applying them directly to the SLOPE/W analysis.

This example illustrates a scenario where it is not possible to use a piezometric line to establish the in-situ pore-water pressures.
