RocTopple 1. 0 is an interactive software tool for performing toppling analysis and support design of rock slopes. The analysis is based on the popular block toppling method of Goodman and Bray first published in a paper, Toppling of Rock Slopes, in 1976. Input the slope parameters, discontinuity spacing, dip angle and strength, and RocTopple automatically generates the toppling blocks.
RocTopple makes it easy to visualize the slope failure in 2D and interactive 3D, and displays the potential failure mode of individual blocks (toppling, sliding, stable) as well as the overall safety factor.
