Example projects

SRS NX ships with two ready-to-use example projects, one for a soil substrate and one for rock. In both, the slope is unstable as-is (FS₀ = 0.5) and the intervention brings it to a design safety factor FS_des = 1.3: they represent a realistic case where nailing is actually needed, not just an edge case.

Example Substrate Content
Soil example Soil (ad_soil = 0.3 MPa) 35° slope, 1.6 m overburden, GEWI Ø25 nail, R_ck 30 mortar
Rock example Rock (ad_rock = 1.0 MPa) Same slope geometry and same nail, rock substrate

How to use them

  1. Go to File → Open in the toolbar.
  2. Download (or select, if already on disk) the .srs file of the example you want.
  3. The form fills itself automatically.
  4. Press Calculate to re-run the calculation and compare the results.

Compare soil and rock

The two examples share the same slope geometry, the same nail and the same grid spacing: only the substrate changes. They're a good starting point for understanding how much the substrate-mortar bond stress (I.8 or I.10) affects the R.5 bulb-slip check.
