Abstract

In assessing the seismic stability of slopes and breakwaters, the evaluation of the seismic force to them is one of the most important factors. The object of this research is to establish evaluation method of seismic coefficient that is used in the estimate of seismic stability of slopes and breakwaters. Numerical analysis is conducted by computing the displacement of a sliding mass in the slope using a simple model of a rigid block on a slope. And the general relationship between the displacement of the sliding mass and input earthquake motion is obtained using several models of slopes and breakwaters with different cohesive resistance. In this report, the evaluation method of the effective value of earthquake motion is proposed in which the slip displacement of sliding mass is taken as an index.
