Simulating the seismic behaviour of soil slopes and embankments
In the current study the clarification of the main assumptions, related to the two most commonly used methods of seismic slope stability analysis (pseudostatic and permanent deformation) is attempted. The seismic permanent displacements and the corresponding seismic coefficients were determined via parametric dynamic numerical analyses taking into account not only the main parameters dominating the seismic slope stability, but also the inherent assumptions of the applied approaches that affect the obtained results.
The investigation conclude to a realistic procedure for seismic slope stability assessment based on the application of two simple methods taking into account the impact of the most important factors involved.
