Modified Newmark model for seismic displacements of compliant slopes

Article Abstract:

A study on the development of a modified Newmark model for determining the permanent displacement of slopes in earthquakes is evaluated. It is argued that other cases exist where earthquake deformation is underpredicted. Two examples are presented. The first involves the reduction of shear strength during the California Northridge earthquake on Jan 17, 1994. Another involves slope movement caused by loose cohesionless soil deformation.

Design method for stabilization of slopes with piles

Article Abstract:

A discussion is presented comparing the advantages and disadvantages of using piles or piers to stabilize soil slopes. Topics include minimization of moment and shear forces and vibrations caused by driving piles, as opposed to drilling piers.
