National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract UTEXAS2, called IOO29 in the Conversationally Oriented Real-Time Program-Generating System (CORPS) library, is a slope stability program designed to analyze slopes by any of the following four methods, Spencer's procedure, simplified Bishop's procedure, force equilibrium procedure with Corps of Engineers Modified Swedish side-force assumption of parallel side forces at a user-specified inclination, and force equilibrium procedure with Lowe and Karafiath's side force assumption. The program will calculate the safety factor for either a prescribed shear surface or for a search of the critical shear surface. Both circular and noncircular shear surfaces can be evaluated. UTEXAS2 is written in FORTRAN and is operational on the following systems: Micro-computers using MS-DOS operating system; District office Harris 500 computers; and Cybernet contract service. Data for UTEXAS2 must be in a previously prepared data file. Output from the program is directed to a user specified file. Input and output graphics are available during program execution.
