3 8. Dynamic Slope Failure (FS d <.):.... and so what? When FS d becomes less than., the soil mass above the failure surface will slide downslope as in the case of a sliding block on an inclined plane OWEVER, unlike STATIC FAILURE which lasts for ever, SEISMIC FAILURE lasts only for a very short period (fraction of a second), as......

TUS,if we can tolerate some small down-slope displacements, the pseudo static analysis is NOT performed for the peak seismic acceleration a max, but for the.... EFFECTIVE seismic acceleration a E = (.5.8) a max
7 8.3 The pseudo static SEISMIC COEFFICIENT why is it much lower than the peak seismic acceleration a max? FIRST.... Using the PEAK seismic acceleration (i.e. TOO conservative. k h a = max g ) is Instead we use the EFFECTIVE seismic acceleration, i.e. a k max h,e = (.5.8 ) g with FS d =.. as this will usually lead to fairly small (< cm) downslope displacements

24 8.5 C O N C L U D I N G R E M A R K S..... CONCLUDING REMARKS.... The PSEUDO STATIC approach with FS d >. does not prevent slope stability failure. owever, for STABLE SOILS, it ensures that only very small (e.g.< cm) downslope displacements will occur.! for UNSTABLE SOILS (e.g. liquefiable): NEVER USE IT
25 If we can tolerate these displacements, the SEISMIC COEFFICIENT may become much smaller than the corresponding peak seismic acceleration: a max,crest g PGA = (.5.6) PGA/g = (.5.56) a max,crest /g * In general, the higher values are associated with Tall Embankments ( > 3m) & Shallow failure surfaces (/ <.4) When ONLY the PGA is known, a max,crest g PGA you may use: - the BRITIS STANDARDS (conservative for / >.4) - EAK (O.K. for / >.4) The EC-8 is is rather UN-conservative
26 When the maximum CREST ACCELERATION is known (e.g. from seismic analysis of the dam), a max, crest a max,crest g PGA you may use: - MARCUSON (98) [only for very shallow / <.3] - MAKDISI & SEED (978) (overconservative for / =.5.6)
27 OMEWORK 8.: Earthquake induced Permanent displacements of an infinite slope This WK concerns an idealied geotechnical natural slope, where 5m of weathered (soil-like) rock rests on the top of intact rock. The inclination of the slope relative to the horiontal plane is i=5deg, while the mechanical properties of the weathered rock are γ=8κν/m 3, c=.5 kpa and φ=8deg. No ground water is present. Assuming infinite slope conditions: (a) Compute the static factor of safety FS ST. (b) Compute the seismic factor of safety FS EQ., for a maximum horiontal acceleration a, max =.45g accompanied by a maximum vertical acceleration a V, max =.5g. (c) In case that FS EQ., comes out less than., compute the associated downslope displacements, for an estimated predominant excitation period T e =.5 sec.
