Rocscience’s UnWedge is a powerful software designed for the stability analysis of underground excavations in rock masses containing intersecting structural discontinuities. It visualizes the geometry and stability of tetrahedral wedges formed along the tunnel perimeter and ends, and calculates their respective support requirements to achieve the design factor of safety. Analyze underground tunnel excavations with intersecting discontinuities and visualize the model in 3D. Determine the stability of tetrahedral wedges formed along the tunnel perimeter and ends and calculate their respective support requirements to achieve the design factor of safety. Quickly create wedge models, factoring in the effects of shear strength, water, field stress, and supports.
Obtain probability of failure for probabilistic models using limit equilibrium analysis. Model variability in joint orientation and strength, water pressure, field stress, and supports, by assigning statistical distributions to variables. Obtain wedge location-specific probabilistic plots (histogram, cumulative, and scatter) around the tunnel perimeter. Achieve the design factor of safety by adding supports like pattern or spot bolts, layers of shotcrete, or uniform pressure to the boundary. The support designer provides specialized views for adding, editing, and visualizing perimeter and end supports. Evaluate the effectiveness of different support strategies and optimize designs to enhance stability and safety, all within an intuitive interface.
