Seismic stability of embankment structures
Abstract In this paper, we discuss the guidelines and criteria used by the U.S. Corps of Engineers for seismic analysis and design of dams, and the procedures used by the Waterways Experiment Station to evaluate the seismic stability of earth and rock-fill dams. The two approaches described here represent the present state of the art of such evaluations, but a state of the art that is evolving rapidly. At the present time, there is a dearth of adequately documented case histories that can be used to validate or calibrate the numerical results of seismic analyses, so that a high degree of numerical exactitude should not be looked for. However, it should be kept in mind that the essential purpose of an engineering analysis is not to compute numbers, but to provide insight into the problem and to help in arriving at a correct engineering judgement that takes into account all of the relevant factors.
