Seismic coefficient in earth dam design
Limitations of methods of earthquake-resistant design of embankments based on pseudo-static analysis and incorporating static seismic force designated by seismic coefficient are discussed; it is suggested that both from considerations of soil behavior under cyclic loading conditions, and for purposes of assessing embankment deformations due to earthquakes, development of method of predicting dynamic seismic forces and their variations with time would provide more reasonable approach for design purposes; method of accomplishing this objective is suggested, and representation of results by equivalent simplified seismic force series is proposed.
