In this study, the evaluation of static and seismic bearing capacity factors for a shallow strip
footing was carried out by using the method of characteristics, which was extended to the …

This work summarises recent research on the seismic behaviour of displacing or yielding
retaining structures, ie, structures that can undergo permanent displacements during strong …

The seismic permanent displacement is an essential aspect to evaluate the seismic stability
of slope. The conventional Newmark block method commonly adopts a constant yield …

The knowledge of soil-geosynthetic interface behaviour is a key point in the design of
geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures. The pullout ultimate limit state can be reproduced …

Engineers often use semiempirical models, which estimate the amount of seismically-
induced slope displacements (D), to evaluate the seismic performance of earth structures …

Pseudo-static slope stability procedures are often employed to evaluate the seismic
performance of slope systems, at least in the initial evaluation stages. To yield meaningful …

Seismic performance of slopes can be assessed through displacement-based procedures
where earthquake-induced displacements are usually computed following Newmark-type …

Seismic performance of natural slopes, earth structures and solid-waste landfills can be
evaluated through displacement-based methods in which permanent displacements …

Gravity wall combined with anchoring frame beam is widely adopted to support a high slope
under complex geomorphic condition, in which the rigid gravity wall is adopted as a lower …

This paper presents a generalised Newmark method (GNM) incorporating a displacement
hardening mechanism for the prediction of permanent displacements accumulated by …
