38 9. CONCLUSIONS Mechanism of the peculiar seismic behavior Large shear strain occurred near the rock contact surface, which reduced the stiffness and increased the damping of the embankment. The material near the crest and the slope surface became loosely during the earthquake, hence, the high frequency components lost. Mechanism of permanent deformation Permanent deformation was mainly due to the shaking subsidence of the soil materials. Sliding phenomenon did not occur during the earthquake.
