Recent applications of sliding block theory to geotechnical design
TL;DR: In this article, the sliding block approach is rational for design under high seismic load, and the equations to determine seismic factor of safety, yield acceleration and permanent displacement are given for rock block, soil slope, landfill cover, geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall, and composite breakwater.

Design implications of the vertical pseudo-static coefficient in slope analysis
Robert Shukha,Rafael Baker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a strength reduction numerical procedure was used to solve PS stability problems in a frictional-cohesive material, and it was shown that for steep slopes the critical vertical PS force acts in the direction of gravity, but for small slope inclinations the critical direction of this force is upwards.

Characteristic landslide distributions: An investigation of landscape controls on landslide size
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the parameter space of a mechanically-based landslide model through a series of simulations using digital elevation data and find that large slope failures are infrequent due to the scarcity of large, steep hillslopes in typical mountainous topography.

Earthquake Response of Reinforced Segmental Retaining Walls Backfilled with Substantial Percentage of Fines
TL;DR: In this paper, the seismic performance of three geosynthetic-reinforced segmental retaining wall systems backfilled with a silty sand mixture, using a shaking table excited by 1995 Kobe earthquake loadings, was reported.

Incorporating the effects of topographic amplification and sliding areas in the modeling of earthquake-induced landslide hazards, using the cumulative displacement method
TL;DR: The results show that the proposed procedure, which combines topographic effects and runout simulation, can generate more accurate predictions for seismic landslide hazard analysis, however, this slight improvement over the procedure that only considers topography effects is within the uncertainty levels of the input parameters.

Simplified procedure for estimating dam and embankment earthquake-induced deformations
Faiz I. Makdisi,H B Seed +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the concept of yield acceleration to evaluate the dynamic response of the embankment rather than a rigid body behavior, and the permanent deformations were estimated by numerical double integration of the induced accelerations for various depths of the potential sliding mass.
