SEISMIC SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS: PSEUDO-STATIC GENERALIZED METHOD

This paper extends a generalized slope stability analysis method to include pseudo-static forces. Formulation and the subsequent numerical procedure of the extended generalized seismic slope stability analysis are presented. Comparison with a closed form approach indicates that the generalized method yields the same safety factor as the closed form approach. This can serve as a partial verification of the accuracy of the numerical procedures. Comparison with other rigorous limit equilibrium methods of seismic slope stability demonstrates that the presented method yields the smallest factor of safety. (A)
