Influences of the Combined Horizontal and Vertical Excitations on the Seismic Responses of Tiered Geosynthetic Reinforced Slope
A validated finite element approach was employed to investigate the seismic responses of a tiered reinforced slope under the combined loading of horizontal and vertical excitations. The seismic performances with different earthquake intensities and different vertical excitations were analyzed. It is shown that the plastic deformation of the backfill soil distributed in a dispersed manner. With the increase of the vertical excitation intensity
the reinforcement loads increased. The earth pressure also increased due to soil compaction caused by vertical acceleration. The increase of earth pressure resulted in an increase of the soil stiffness
which led to a decrease of the surficial lateral displacement. But with a further increase of the vertical excitation intensity
the soil-hardening modified the natural vibration characteristics of the slope
which resulted in an aggravation in the seismic response. The upper tier tended to rotate externally and caused the increase of the surficial lateral displacement. With the increase of the earthquake intensity
the influences of the upper tier on the lower tier aggravated
and the influences of vertical excitation became more evident.
