This book uses the upper bound limit analysis for determination of
stability numbers for a two-layered soil slope both for an
associated flow rule material and for a homogeneous slope with
non-associated flow rule material. The effect of the pore water
pressure and horizontal earthquake body forces was also included in
the analysis. The results have been given in the form of
non-dimensional stability charts, which can be used for readily
obtaining either the value of the critical height or the factor of
safety. An attempt has also been made in this book to study
experimentally the effect of the frequency of the excitation and
the addition of non-plastic fines on the liquefaction resistance of
the material. Shake table studies, generating uni-axial sinusoidal
horizontal vibrations, were carried out for this purpose. The peak
magnitude of the pore water pressure tends to be higher for the
excitation with smaller frequency especially at greater depths from
the ground surface. The addition of non-plastic fines tends to
increase the magnitude of the settlement as well as the increase in
the pore water pressure.
