Description

Rocscience UnWedge 5.0

Rocscience UnWedge 5.0: Underground Excavation Wedge Stability Software

UnWedge 5.0 is Rocscience's 3D wedge stability analysis software for underground excavations, based on block theory by Goodman and Shi Genhua. It analyzes unstable blocks formed by intersecting structural planes and calculates safety factors and support requirements for tunnels, caverns, and underground openings .

Key New Features in Version 5.0

  • Dips 9 Integration: Direct data import from Dips 9.0 for joint set analysis

  • RocTunnel3 Export: Export model data for continued analysis in RocTunnel3

  • Batch Compute: Run multiple deterministic/probabilistic models simultaneously; export results to Excel

  • Automate from Excel: Batch compute multiple analysis cases using pre-formatted Excel input data

  • Tunnel Orientation Analyzer: Search critical tunnel azimuth ranges to find minimum safety factor and corresponding joint combinations
