The seismic deterioration effects of anchor cables and slope structural planes are often
neglected in the dynamic stability analysis of anchored rocky slopes to the extent that the …

The soil shear wave velocity has long been recognized as an effective parameter in the
assessment of the seismic response of slopes. However, most seismic analyses have been …

One of the most common and economical methods for waste disposal is landfilling. The
landfill cover system is one of the main components of landfills which prevents waste …

Seismic waves propagate from bedrock through the soil layers and during this propagation
they pass different layers of soil and rock until they reach the soil surface. These waves can …

Slope stability is one of the most important issues of geotechnical engineering. Significant
slope failures (landslides), which result from earthquakes, can cause considerable losses of …

Stability of canals slopes are of paramount importance in engineering works due to its
interaction with the infrastructure including roads networks and buildings. The failure of …

Seismic coefficient values coupled with minimum pseudo-static safety factors are still used
for analysis, where selection of seismic coefficients relies on expertise and judgment …

A double wedge model has been proposed to compute seismic sliding displacements of
cantilever retaining walls. Experimental observations indicate formation of rupture planes in …

Dams have a great importance on energy and irrigation. Dams must be evaluated statically
and dynamically even after construction. For this purpose, Torul dam built between years …

One of the most important issues in the construction of highways, mountain and urban roads
is known as slope stabilization. If the necessary actions for protection are not considered, it …
