Abstract
Using PC hardware it is nowadays perfectly feasible to carry out analy ses of foundations, slopes and retaining walls in three dimensions if warranted. Some questions of solution algorithm and of three dimension al element selection are addressed first and then results of some typi cal analyses presented. The importance of results display is highlight ed.
