In 1965, Newmark [1] published his classic Rankine lecture on ‘‘effects of earthquakes on dams and embankments’’. In his paper, Newmark presented solutions for displacement of a mass along circular or planar sliding surface under earthquake loading. Newmark made the assumption that the mass moves as a single rigid body with resistance mobilized along the sliding surface. Newmark further considered only a single pulse of magnitude Ag lasting for a time interval t0, arguing that introduction of a sinusoidal pulse would complicate the expressions unnecessarily. Thus, the socalled ‘‘Newmark method’’provided an estimate for the amount of mass displacement to be expected under ground acceleration of constant magnitude and given duration. Newmark admitted that his approach would generally overestimate the actual displacement because it ignores the earthquake pulse in the opposite direction. Goodman and Seed [2] studied experimentally the shear resistance of sand to cyclic loading and suggested an expression for shear strength degradation as a function of displacement. They used numerical integration to find the velocity and displacement of a block on an incline subjected to a sinusoidal acceleration function of the form at ¼ A sinðωt þ θÞ ð1Þ in which θ is the phase angle required to satisfy the initial condition a ¼ ay at the instant sliding begins (t ¼ 0), where ay is defined as the yield acceleration. Goodman and Seed showed that for frictional sliding only, where cohesion along the sliding surface is zero, the down slope, horizontal, yields acceleration for a block resting on a plane with inclination a and friction angle φ is given by ay ¼ tanðφeq@ aÞg; ð2Þ where φeq is a displacement dependent friction angle, which for all practical purposes in rock mechanics could be replaced by φ. Similarly, it can be shown that for up slope sliding the horizontal yield acceleration is given by ay ¼ tanða þ φÞg: ð3ÞIn Fig. 1 horizontal yield acceleration in units of g is plotted as a function of friction angle and inclination of the sliding surface. It is apparent that up slope motions require significantly higher accelerations, and therefore Newmark’s treatment of downhill motions only, seems justified.
