Dynamic Response and Failure Characteristics of Slope with Weak Interlayer under Action of Near-Fault Ground Motion

Figure 21

Spatial distribution of failure points inside slopes under different ground motions. (a) Slope with a weak interlayer under fling step ground motion. (b) Homogeneous slope under fling step ground motion. (c) Slope with a weak interlayer under directivity pulse ground motion. (d) Homogeneous slope under directivity pulse ground motion. (e) Slope with a weak interlayer under pulseless ground motion. (f) Homogeneous slope under pulseless ground motion.
