Slope Earthquake Stability: Dynamic Characteristics and Assessment of Two-Side Slopes

by Yang Changwei, Zhang Jingyu, Lian Jing, Yu Wenying, Zhang Jianjing

Overview

This book begins with the dynamic characteristics of the covering layerbedrock type slope, containing monitoring data of the seismic array, shaking table tests, numerical analysis and theoretical derivation. Then it focuses on the landslide mechanism and assessment method. It also proposes a model that assessing the hazard area based on the field investigations. Many questions, exercises and solutions are given. Researchers and engineers in the field of Geotechnical Engineering and Anti-seismic Engineering can benefit from it.
