Seismic Force If seismic coefficients are defined, a seismic force will be applied to each slice as follows:
Seismic Force = Seismic Coefficient * Slice Weight
= Seismic Coefficient * area of slice * Unit Weight of slice material
Note that the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s2 for metric units) is already incorporated into the material Unit
Weight entered in the Define Material Properties dialog (remember that the dimensions of Unit Weight are kN / m3),
and therefore does not explicitly appear in the above equation.
The seismic force is applied through the centroid of each slice.
Horizontal Seismic Coefficient The HORIZONTAL seismic coefficient is always POSITIVE, and represents a horizontal seismic force directed OUT OF the slope (i.e. in the direction of failure).
Since the HORIZONTAL seismic force in
Slide is always directed OUT OF the slope, a HORIZONTAL seismic coefficient should always DECREASE the safety factor, for a given slip surface, compared to the same model with NO seismic load applied.
