The increments of the internal forces induced by an earthquake in the transverse section of a tunnel lining can be ascribed to the ovalisation of the section, induced by soil shear straining in the vertical plane. They can be assessed with several procedures ...

Pseudostatic analysis is one of the simplest approaches used in earthquake engineering to analyze the seismic response of soil embankments and slopes. However, the choice of seismic coefficients used in the analysis can be arbitrary and generally lacks rationale. ...

<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 ...
