In highly jointed rock masses, block failure isn’t random – it’s structurally controlled. Traditional analysis methods just don’t cut it anymore.
Meet RocSlope3, Rocscience’s powerful 3D block stability software that assesses the factors of safety for thousands of blocks simultaneously, revealing exactly which ones are prone to failure.
Why mining and civil engineers trust RocSlope3:
✅ Massive Block Volumes – Analyze unlimited joint surfaces in highly complex rock masses; only limitation is your computer’s RAM
✅ 3D Limit Equilibrium – Calculate accurate factors of safety for every block using proven 3D limit equilibrium methods
✅ Probabilistic Analysis – Run multiple simulations with randomized joint properties to quantify uncertainty and risk
✅ Support Design Integration – Model rock bolts, shotcrete, and support pressures to evaluate remedial measures
✅ Seamless Data Integration – Import mapped joint data directly from DIPS or RocSlope2, or use synthetic joint sets with precise spacing and orientation distributions
✅ Heatmaps & Visualization – Identify critical failure zones instantly with probability-of-failure heatmaps and 3D block visualization
From pit slope optimization to rockfall risk assessment, RocSlope3 transforms complex geology into actionable insights – with analysis speed that keeps your project on schedule.
