Permanent displacement

Semi-empirical relationships to assess the seismic performance of slopes from an updated version of the Italian seismic database

Seismic performance of slopes can be assessed through displacement-based procedures where earthquake-induced displacements are usually computed following Newmark-type calculations. These can be adopted to perform a parametric integration of earthquake records to evaluate permanent displacements for different slope characteristics and seismic input properties.
