In the proceedings of: GeoQuébec 2015: 68th Canadian Geotechnical Conference & 7th Canadian Permafrost Conference

Session: Landslides and Slope Stability VI / Mouvements de terrain et stabilité des pentes VI

ABSTRACT: Landslide damages have been numerous on infrastructures and on human lives, and its consequences during an earthquake might be a disaster. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how a slope will behave under seismic loading, with a special attention given to the role of dynamic soil properties in understanding slope instabilities.

RÉSUMÉ: Les effets des glissements de terrain ont été nombreux sur les infrastructures et sur les vies humaines, et les conséquences séisme, et une attention particulière sera donnée au rôle des propriétés dynamiques des sols dans la compréhension des instabilités des pentes.
