Résumé :
|
The sliding-block model is often used for the prediction of permanent coseismic displacements of natural slopes and earth structures. This model assumes motion in an inclined plane but does not consider the decrease in inclination of the sliding soil mass as a result of its downward motion, which is the usual condition in the field. The paper studies the above effect and proposes an empirical equation correcting the predictions of the sliding-block model. The investigation is performed by using a recently developed multiblock model. The equation correcting the predictions of the sliding-block model depends on the slip length, the difference in inclinations of the upper and lower part of the slip surface, the seismic displacement predicted by the sliding-block model and the maximum value of the applied horizontal acceleration.
