Abstract: A simplified analysis procedure for the nonlinear hysteretic dynamic response of soil or structural systems, or both, is presented. The method is based on a Galerkin formulation of the equations of motion in which the ...

Abstract: A simplified analytical‐numerical method for analyzing the nonlinear earthquake response of earth dams, modeled as two‐dimensional, nonhomogeneous shear wedges in rectangular canyons, is presented. The method takes into ...

Abstract: The method presented in the companion paper is applied herein to analyze the nonlinear earthquake response of an earth dam; the entire time history of the response quantities, including permanent deformation of the dam, ...
