This article presents a Kriging-based probabilistic analysis of an earth dam. The dam failure
probability with respect to the sliding stability is investigated by considering the influence of …

A series of 1-g shaking table tests were conducted on 1m high reinforced-soil wall models.
The physical models were subjected to harmonic sinusoidal-like time history input motions …

Based on limit analysis and pseudo-dynamic methods, a proposed method for evaluating
slope stability under seismic conditions that considers dynamic changes in the axial force of …

Abstract h-Type anti-slide piles (hTPs) have been receiving increasing attention in slope
reinforcement engineering. However, most of the existing calculation methods for hTP …

The use of Newmark permanent displacement to preliminarily evaluate the seismic
performance of earth slopes has been well accepted in geotechnical community. Essentially …

Earthquakes can trigger slope instability, especially in the case of slopes with cracks.
Studies of slope stability rarely account for the presence of cracks. In this study, the upper …

This paper presents an analytical approach to investigate the stability of geocell-reinforced
slopes using the limit equilibrium method (LEM). The so-called Horizontal Slice Method …

Vertical ground acceleration is a component in an earthquake loading, and in some cases,
the vertical to horizontal acceleration ratio (V/H ratio) may be very large. However, the …

Today, geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures are widely used to support bridge abutments
and approach roads in place of traditional pile supports and techniques. In such situations …

The paper describes a simple numerical FLAC model that was developed to simulate the
dynamic response of two instrumented reduced-scale model reinforced soil walls …
