On the basis of seismic wave recorded by Wolong Measuring Station in Wenchuan Earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008, and taking a high rock slope (about 1397m in height) at the bank of Zipingpu Reservoir as the specific example, analyses have been made, with Plaxis dynamical simulation analysis program, on characteristics of influence upon acceleration time history, shear strain distribution, principal stresses distribution and stability of high rock slope by original seismic wave, and seismic wave with frequency expanded by 1.5, 2 and 3 times, respectively. Results of the analyses demonstrate that dynamic response characteristics of the slope top are notably influenced by multiplication factor of seismic wave frequency. As far as the real slope in this article is concerned, it generally presents a gradual decrease of PGA of the top of high rock slope, reduction of slope body shear strain and a corresponding drop of dynamic response of slope body as a whole, with the increase of seismic wave frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
