Modified Newmark Sliding Block (Deformable Sliding Block) For Estimating Seismic Lateral Movement of Slopes
Posted onIntroduction Practitioners often perform Newmark Sliding Block analyses to predict permanent lateral displacements of slopes under earthquake loading. In this method, sliding of a rigid block of soil mass is computed by double integration of acceleration over the length of time during which the yield acceleration (i.e., friction coefficient) is exceeded. For better illustration purposes,… Read More
