Analyzes 3D slope stability for future landslides using digital landscapes.
The computer program, Scoops3D, evaluates slope stability throughout a digital landscape represented by a digital elevation model (DEM).
For each potential landslide (or failure), Scoops3D assesses the stability of a rotational, spherical slip surface encompassing many DEM cells using a 3D version of either Bishop’s simplified method or the Ordinary (Fellenius) method of limit-equilibrium analysis.
