Abstract: This study presents a novel procedure for predicting rock slope stability in the presence of an earthquake by using pseudodynamic and discretization-based kinematic analysis methods. In contrast to a presumed failure ...

Abstract: This article proposes a graphical method associated with the g line to evaluate seismic slope stability. The g line depicts the combinations of c/γH and tanφ that are necessary to maintain slope stability at the critical ...

Abstract: A stability analysis of slopes is presented using the discretization-based kinematic analysis. By generating a discretized failure mechanism satisfying the kinematic admissibility condition with the use of a discretization ...

Abstract: Abstract Large-diameter rigid piles with a low embedded depth-to-diameter ratio have been predominantly utilized in offshore wind turbines. A reliable way to evaluate the lateral bearing capacity of rigid piles in sandy ...
