I.L.A. is a complete slope stability analysis program that also incorporates powerful features for retaining system designing. The slope analysis and design can be performed using the Sarma method, whose numerical stability increases the reliability of the calculations. The classic Bishop, Jambu, Morgenstern & Price and Bell methods are also available; this allows to compare the results and obtain a more complete and affordable elaboration. The failure surfaces can either be defined as circular or planar surface families or even individually, as polygonal surfaces, and therefore have any shape whatsoever.

Ce.Ca.P. is a complete package for the analysis and design of foundations; because of its completeness, flexibility ad user-friendliness it is a fundamental instrument for any kind of geotechnical project. To calculate the bearing capacity of foundations, the following methods can be used: Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen and Vesic. Such methods are based on different hypotheses regarding failure modes, and it is therefore interesting to compare the different results. Normally, the allowable bearing pressure is determined for a given shape (square, rectangular, circular or strip) and stratigraphy.
