Seismically induced landslides can often cause severe human and economic losses.
Therefore, it is worth assessing the seismic performance of slopes through a reliable …

Seismic performance of slopes can be assessed through displacement-based procedures
where earthquake-induced displacements are usually computed following Newmark-type …

Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the most important hazards related to ground
shaking, causing damages to the environment and, often, casualties. Therefore, it is …

Sliding block displacements often are used to evaluate the potential for ground failure due to
slope instability. The procedures used to assess sliding block displacement typically use …

This work presents a probabilistic method for estimating earthquake-induced nonlinear
slope displacements. This method is applicable to any kind of slope, embankment and …

To assess the seismic performance of slopes, the simplified displacement-based methods
represent a good-working balance between simplicity and reliability. The so-called …

Permanent sliding displacements are used to evaluate the seismic stability of earth slopes,
and current practice utilizes a pseudoprobabilistic approach to predict the expected sliding …

The simplified displacement-based procedures for seismic slope stability represent a good-
working balance between simplicity and reliability, since both slope ductility (ie the capacity …

Greater Vancouver has the highest seismic risk in Canada with significant potential to cause
earthquake-induced hazards including seismic slope failures. The available methods to …

Probabilistic hazard curves for earthquake-induced permanent slope displacements
incorporate the important variabilities associated with predictions of slope movements, such …
