Discussion of 'Procedure for Estimating Shear-Induced Seismic Slope Displacement for Shallow Crustal Earthquakes' by Jonathan D. Bray and Jorge Macedo

摘要

The corpus of work led by Dr. Bray, including Bray et al. (1995, 1998), Bray (2007), Bray and Travasarou (2007), Bray et al. (2018), and the paper under discussion, form a landmark series that has greatly contributed to the ability of engineers to rapidly perform pragmatic evaluations of the range of expected seismically induced slope displacements. The discussers are primarily interested in the relevance of these works as related to lined municipal and other solid waste landfills, although these comments are germane to cut slopes and earth embankments as well.
