What are the shortcomings of pseudo-static approach for slope stability analysis in dynamic conditions?

30 May 2019 1 6K Report

What are the assumptions involved in idealising the earthquake forces as static forces and what are the shortcomings of this method?

Hamdy Abou-Elfath

Idealizing the earthquake forces by static forces is an approximate approach and is applicable only when there is one dominant mode shape of the structure.
