Study on difference in elevation response of slope collapsing and sliding triggered by seismic action

Spatial distribution of slope mechanical parameters on its collapsing and sliding triggered by seismic load is studied by applying rock dynamic triaxial shear test and finite difference numerical simulation.Results show that evident difference in elevation response of slope initial collapsing and sliding triggered by seismic dynamic influence,i.e.initial fracturing always originates in the place of slope shoulder.Secondly,critical failure strain decreases with buried depth decreasing of slope bo...
