Abstract: Permanent sliding displacement is a parameter that is used widely to evaluate the seismic performance of earthen slopes, and the inherent variability of soil strength parameters is considered simply using a logic tree in ...

Abstract: Generic models for estimating the earthquake-induced displacement of Earth slopes are developed based on a numerical approach. A number of 14,112 slope models with different configurations of slope geometry and soil property ...

Abstract: This study investigated the small-strain shear modulus behavior of compacted loess under isotropic consolidation. The small-strain shear modulus was obtained from bender element tests during the isotropic consolidation. ...
