Sensitivity analysis of slopes affected by possible earthquake loading and heavy rainfall: case study

The effect of seismic loading on slope failure is studied both experimentally and analytically to establish the spatial and temporal process of failure initiation and propagation during possible earthquake loading or heavy rainfall. For such purpose different limit equilibrium modeling were carried...
