ABSTRACT: The stability of slopes under seismic conditions is a topic of remarkable interest in geotechnical engineering practice. Stability analysis is usually performed by means of the pseudostatic limit equilibrium approach which provides a factor of safety on shear strength. However, under seismic loading conditions, displacements represent a more suitable criterion for stability and serviceability evaluation. In this paper, by assuming a circular failure mechanism and following Newmark’s sliding block model, a dynamic response analysis in undrained conditions is presented. The proposed model takes into account undrained shear strength degradation occurring due to cyclic loading, soil non linearity and pore pressure build-up during earthquake shaking. A parametric analysis was carried out for several geotechnical and geometrical conditions considering both harmonic and real accelerograms.

In this paper, by assuming a circular failure mechanism and following Newmark’s sliding block model, a dynamic response analysis in undrained conditions is presented.
