• Discrete structural surfaces: Slide2 allows users to define structural surfaces (lines in 2D) that represent cracks, joints, faults, bedding planes, or other discontinuities. Each surface has geometric orientation, extent, and mechanical properties.
• Assigned strength properties: For each discontinuity, the user specifies shear strength parameters (cohesion c, friction angle φ, or a strength envelope such as Mohr-Coulomb), and optionally a reduced (residual) strength if remobilization and sliding degradation are relevant.
• Contact conditions and constraints: Surfaces can be modeled as fully weakening planes with no tensile strength (opening allowed), or as interfaces with specified normal stiffness and limited tensile capacity depending on modeling choices. Slide2 typically treats such lines as potential slip surfaces and enforces kinematic conditions accordingly.
• Interface water pressures: Pore-water or seepage pressures can be applied across the model and along discontinuities; elevated pressures reduce effective normal stress on the crack and lower shear resistance per Coulomb law.
• Mesh and discretization: Although Slide2 is a limit-equilibrium tool (not a continuum finite-element solver), its internal treatment for computing interslice forces and locating critical slip surfaces accounts for the geometry of discontinuities when those are specified. Discontinuities are geometric constructs, not full 3D fracture networks, and they influence potential slip surfaces that cross or coincide with them.
