Tierra Group Turns to 3D Analysis to Resolve Complex Slope Stability Project PLAXIS® Designer Creates Conceptual Model of Tailings Impoundment Facility Tierra Group, a provider of geotechnical, water resources, civil, environmental, and geological hazards engineering, recently made use of the 3D capabilities of Bentley’s PLAXIS LE (formerly SVSLOPE) software to analyze the corner of an earth dam retaining structure. Several issues made using 2D analysis applications difficult to implement in this scenario. First, the structure of a corner or a turn in the earth dam needed to be incorporated into the analysis. There is also the difficulty of varying geo-strata beneath the foundation of the engineered earth dam structure.
