Characteristics of spatial variability of shear wave velocity on seismic response of slopes

摘要: The soil shear wave velocity has long been recognized as an effective parameter in the assessment of seismic response slopes. However, most analyses have carried out by deterministic models considering just a single realization velocity. In other words, only small number researchers explored spatial variability effects on This paper investigates this phenomenon stochastically, and auto-correlation matrix decomposition method based Monte Carlo Simulation was applied to generate stationary random fields order simulate framework includes interpreting coefficient modulus variation length effected maximum horizontal equivalent acceleration. results showed that might significant effect dynamic sliding mass if slopes were subjected weak ground motions. By contrast, it could acceleration induced intense
