Seismically induced landslides can often cause severe human and economic losses.
Therefore, it is worth assessing the seismic performance of slopes through a reliable …

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 …

This paper describes a pseudo-static approach developed for geosynthetic-reinforced earth
(GRE) retaining walls, calibrated against given levels of wall performance defined by …

The static and seismic sliding limit equilibrium condition of retaining walls is investigated,
and analytical solutions for the angle of the active slip surface, the critical acceleration …

Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the most important hazards related to ground
shaking, causing damages to the environment and, often, casualties. Therefore, it is …

In upstream faced earth dams all possible seismic-induced damages may be expressed
using crest settlement as indicator, which may be predicted using complete dynamic …

This paper provides an interpretation of the behaviour of retaining structures made of
geosynthetic-reinforced earth, subjected to a severe seismic loading. It is seen that during …

Pseudo-static seismic analysis of retaining walls requires the selection of an equivalent
seismic coefficient synthetically representing the effects of the transient seismic actions on …

The paper focuses on the seismic performance of the San Pietro dam (located in Southern
Italy) evaluated, with different levels of accuracy, through pseudo-static, simplified …
