Abstract
A dynamic centrifugal model test was conducted for a homogeneous sandy slope under an impulsive ground motion to investigate the relationship between seismic response and slope deformation. Firstly, the deformation characteristics and dynamic responses of the slope were analyzed. Then, the main features associated with the response truncation effect were expounded. Subsequently, the Sliding block theory was introduced to explain the mechanism of the acceleration response truncation effect. At last, an approximate calculation method for the sliding mass dynamic response was developed, considering the influence of the truncation effect. The results show the variation pattern of response differs inside the slope and near the slope surface, and the dynamic amplification coefficients calculated by different methods also exhibit significant variations. The truncation of horizontal response acceleration results from the relative sliding in slope, and the truncated response fluctuates around a limited value related to the yield acceleration.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to encourage and enhance the role of mechanics and other disciplines as they relate to earthquake engineering by providing opportunities for the publication of the work of applied mathematicians, engineers and other applied scientists involved in solving problems closely related to the field of earthquake engineering and geotechnical earthquake engineering.
Emphasis is placed on new concepts and techniques, but case histories will also be published if they enhance the presentation and understanding of new technical concepts.
