Abstract
Earthquake-induced landslides have a direct impact on human society. In order to evaluate and mitigate the damage associated slope failure, a well understanding of displacements of slopes induced by earthquakes is pivotal. Acknowledging both the energy-based Arias Intensity as a reliable intensity measure to describe the severity of the earthquake and the finite element analysis as a practical and effective method to conduct seismic hazard analyses. This study is focused on the relationship between the Arias Intensity and the earthquake-induced displacements of slopes. Twenty near-field motions from the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake and the 1979 Imperial earthquake were scaled to peak acceleration of 70, 100, and 200 gals and applied to the simple models with slope angles of 20°, 30°, and 45°. It was found that the range of the Arias Intensity has effects on the relationships between Arias Intensity and the normalized earthquake-induced slope displacements while the angles of the slopes for the three simple landslide models show a trivial influence on the relationships between Arias Intensity and the normalized earthquake-induced slope displacement, which may be due to the same material properties.
