A Study About Effect Of Soil Model On Slope Under Vibration Load

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of soil material model on slope under vibration loading. Ahard consistency clay is assumed within an example slope profile with the height of 10m andangle 25 for the evaluations. The linear elastic, Mohr-Coulomb and hardening soil modelsare considered using 2D finite element method by dynamic analysis. The results indicate that the velocities evaluated by the soil models are within the safety limits and accepted for the design. The soil models almost perform same values for factor of safety (not for linear elastic)and velocities. This study is believed to be beneficial for the applications in practice
