Seismic Stability and Critical Slip Surface on Reinforced Slopes

Seismic stability of reinforced slopes is investigated using Horizontal Slice Method withinthe framework of the pseudo-static force. A new procedure is introduced which coulddetermine the location and shape of failure surface. It’s a multiplanar surface consisting of anumber of inclined linear segments interconnected. This approach is relatively simple andyields results which are in good agreement with previous findings. Final results revealedthat with increase in horizontal seismic acceleration, the reinforcements force increases.With increase in slope angle, the failure surface changes from curve to planar shape.
