Pseudo-static slope stability procedures are often employed to evaluate the seismic performance of geotechnical slope systems, at least in the initial evaluation stages. To yield meaningful results, these methods should ...

The 1994 Northridge earthquake (M-w = 6.7) triggered extensive rock slope failures in Pacoima Canyon, immediately north of Los Angeles, California. Pacoima Canyon is a narrow and steep canyon incised in gneissic and granitic ...

Slopes are usually constructed from soil, although natural soil or mixed soil are also in use or have proposed. This paper deals with evaluation of slope stability. It is understood possibility approaching certain level ...

Several researches have shown that vegetation plays a key roll in preventing displacements of soil masses, particularly of surficial displacement of slopes. Thus, tree roots provide a reinforcement system that depends on ...

The geometric alteration of slopes is a reality that can be observed in several districts of the Peruvian capital. The construction of houses, roads, and other infrastructure can produce some slope instability and cause ...
