Comparative study of seismic and non-seismic analysis of a soil slope to develop correlations for factor of safety considering horizontal and vertical seismic coefficients

Abstract

Seismic and non-seismic analysis of any engineering project always gives different results. A soil slope is analysed in this research and both seismic and non-seismic analysis is performed to know about the difference in the factor of safety values. Correlations are developed between both these cases. These correlations are applicable for homogenous slopes only.
