International Symposium on Seismic Performance and Design of Slopes

(Shanghai, China August 18-19, 2018)

Hosted by: Tongji University, China

Introduction

Earthquake-induced landslides were always numerous, widespread, and catastrophic. For the seismic design method of slope, it has developed from empirical design, specification design based on pseudo-static method, into performance based design. However, there are still many challenges in the seismic design of slope, such as uncertainties in the seismic design, dynamic behaviors of soil and slopes subjected to earthquake, improvement and innovation of seismic design method, etc.

In order to prevent and mitigate the landslide disaster triggered by earthquake, the First International Symposium on Seismic Performance and Design of Slopes aims to bring together academic scientists, leading engineers, and students to exchange and share their experiences and research results.

Themes

• Uncertainty sources of seismic design of slopes
• Dynamic behaviors of slope subjected to earthquake
• Performance-based seismic design method of slopes
• Prospect to the seismic design of slopes in future
• Practice of seismic design in major slope projects
