Table 5
Comparison of ultimate lateral loads with the experimental result.
| | Tests | Ultimate lateral loads (kN) | Reduction rate | | FEM | SPH | Experiment |
| | Quasi-static loading | Horizontal | 51.7 | 45.4 | — | 11～14% | | Sloping | 45.3 | 41.0 | 40.0 |
| | Dynamic loading | Horizontal | 56.5 | 51.1 | — | 12～15% | | Sloping | 49.1 | 45.8 | — |
