Abstract Pseudostatic limit-equilibrium based slope stability analyses are carried out on a routine basis to evaluate stability of submarine slopes under earthquake loading. For slopes in deepwater settings, a major challenge in performing pseudostatic slope stability analyses is selection of an appropriate seismic coefficient. Most published displacement-based methodologies for seismic coefficient selection were developed using simplified sliding block models for seismic slope performance evaluation that are unable to capture the complex deformation mechanism of deepwater slopes during earthquakes. To address this challenge, this study employs two-dimensional dynamic finite-element based deformation analysis to investigate the earthquake response of submarine clay slopes characterized by morphology, stratigraphic architecture and geotechnical properties representative for the deepwater environment. Finite-element computed seismic slope performance indicators, including horizontal peak ground acceleration at the seafloor and earthquake-induced maximum shear strain within the slope, along with horizontal seismic coefficients required to trigger slope instability in limit-equilibrium based pseudostatic stability analyses are used to develop a rational shear strain-based correlation relationship for deepwater slope seismic coefficient selection.

Rare study is done on floor response spectrum of super-high rise building, but it is an important condition for the seismic response analysis of floor subsidiary structure. Therefore, based on the early calculation model of China Financial Information Mansion, the floor response spectrum is calculated under different input ground motion. The floor and ground response spectrum is compared with each other from the seismic coefficient, dynamic amplification coefficient, characteristic period and the form of response spectrum. The results shows that: the floor seismic coefficient and the magnification coefficient are greater or smaller than the ground ones, the biggest difference of which is nearly 1 times; all the floor character period are greater than the ground ones, the biggest difference of which is over 60%; there are obvious differences between the floor and ground dynamic magnification factor spectra form under some conditions, of which the second peak of the former one is probably very large, even near to the peak of the first one, while the latter has no such phenomenon. Therefore, during the process of calculating the seismic response of floor subsidiary structure, it is necessary to consider the change of floor seismic coefficient, dynamic magnification factor, characteristic period and spectra form based on the main structure.

AbstractA deterministic model for the factor of safety of an idealized rock mass for planar mode of failure is developed adopting Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) using Patton’s shear strength criterion and considering practically occurring conditions such as the effect of tension crack, water filled up in tension crack, horizontal and vertical seismic acceleration, rock bolt stabilizing force and surcharge. In the Pseudo-static analysis horizontal seismic acceleration is taken outward from the slope and vertical seismic acceleration is considered in both the direction i.e. towards the direction of gravity (downward) and opposite to the direction of gravity (upward). An expression of normal stresses as limiting criterion has been derived in order to compare the field normal stresses along the failure surface. A detailed parametric study has been presented to investigate the influence of vertical seismic coefficient for both the direction on the stability of rock slope using developed expression. For high normal stress along the failure plane, it is observed that the factor of safety decreases with increase in the value of vertical seismic coefficient towards the direction of gravity and increases linearly with increase in the value of vertical seismic coefficient against the direction of gravity and the opposite trend has been found for lower normal stress. The vertical seismic coefficient against the direction of gravity has predominant effect on factor of safety of rock slope as the rate of increase/decrease of factor of safety with vertical seismic coefficient is more against the direction of gravity. Hence in determining the critical factor of safety, effect of vertical seismic coefficient against the direction of gravity should be considered.
