| Description: | Technical Report Abstract: This report is a documentation of RCSLIDE, the reliability version of CSLIDE, a computer program for assessing the sliding stability of concrete gravity structures using the limit equilibrium method described in EC 1110-2-291, “Stability Analysis of Concrete Structures.” CSLIDE can compute the factor of safety against sliding considering the effects of numerous and varied conditions. The report is organized to present an overview of the sliding analysis and the capabilities of the program including reliability assessment, to discuss the development of the equations used in the sliding analysis and the analysis procedures and their implementation into the program, to discuss program input and output, and to present a user’s guide. A theoretical discussion of the reliability analysis procedures and their implementation is provided in a companion manual. Example problems which demonstrate the capabilities of both CSLIDE and the reliability assessment are included in appendices. Another appendix provides a list of CSLIDE/RCSLIDE routines. |
