<p>A performance-based methodology for seismic analysis and design of the geosynthetic elements of waste containment systems, including landfills and heap leach pads, has been developed. The methodology offers a rational alternative to the current state of ...

This report identifies and describes current practice and available methods for evaluating the influence of local ground conditions on earthquake design ground motions on a site-specific basis

<p>The seismic stability of natural slopes in clayey materials is a subject about which much uncertanty still exists. Therefore selection of the method for the seismic slope stability analysis is an important part of solving the problem. In this paper the ...
