Predicting seismic performance of geogrid-reinforced slopes
Abstract
The seismic response of a 49 ft high geogrid reinforced slope was studied using the available finite element computer code FLUSH. Both fixed horizontal boundaries and with transmitting boundaries were considered in the analysis to evaluate the maximum relative displacement and maximum absolute acceleration of the slope under different frequencies of horizontal seismic loading. The seismic loading produced axial forces along each reinforcement layer was also evaluated to check the possibility of breakage.
