The Accelerogram-Based Probabilistic Analysis of Slope Stability

Abstract

This study sought to assess the probabilistic stability of slope analysis under seismic conditions in the middle of the Mzymta River Valley in Russia's Greater Sochi. In probabilistic analysis, almost all input parameters can be assigned a probability distribution; however, the seismic coefficient probability distribution has been difficult to define in previous studies. This study aims to assign a probability distribution to the seismic coefficient based on seismogram acceleration distribution. The study showed that seismogram-based probabilistic analysis is a feasible way to assess slope stability.
