. This allows you to vary the crack depth and see how it influences the Factor of Safety, helping you identify the "worst-case scenario" for your design. A Note on Software Integrity

: If the slope is in a high-rainfall area, always model the crack as at least partially filled to account for the most conservative safety margin.

Rocscience Slide3 is a powerful and widely used software for slope stability analysis in geotechnical engineering.
