In this paper, a simple numerical model is used to simulate the contents sliding behaviour. After a brief introduction of the methodologies and development of sliding model, the contents sliding behaviour during an earthquake shaking is investigated analytically, ...

This paper investigates the influence of hysteretic characteristics of structures on contents damage. The damage to contents considered was limited to sliding induced damage, excluding rocking induced damage. A single storey structure and contents were modelled ...

Landslide Brus was occurred in April 2005, near Brus village in Istria, Croatia. Landslide is typical block sliding and landslide body consists of practically unique flysch rock mass block, 150 m long and 35 m wide. Sliding was occurred momentary, without ...

<p>The slope stability analysis has many applications in the engineering projects such as the dams, the roads and open pits structures. The method of analysis is usually based on the equilibrium conditions of the potential plane and wedge failures. The zone ...

A method is presented for calculations of irreversible displacements of multiblock structures subjected to seismic excitation. Use is made of the kinematic approach of limit analysis. To make the analysis tractable a hodograph representing distribution of ...

In most cases, slope movement monitoring data are collected on a temporal basis and displacement or velocity is plotted against time in order to assist the engineer to make judgements about slope behaviour. Once an unusual behaviour pattern has been established, ...

Heating during frictional sliding is a major component of the energy budget of earthquakes and represents a potential weakening mechanism. It is therefore important to investigate how heat dissipates during sliding on simulated faults. They are presented results ...

<p>This manual provides guidance for stability analysis of concrete gravity structures. Stability refers to resistance to sliding and floatation, mimits on the eccentricity of the resultant of the applied loads and limits on the bearing capacity of the foundation ...

In this chapter an overview of landslides and stabilization measures are presented

Evaluation of limit equilibrium methods and constrains in natural slope analysis. Evaluation of accuracy, quantification of pore pressure, characterization of materials
