Analysis and Design for Homogeneous Earth Slopes
Abstract: In an aspect of geotechnical engineering problems, slope stability is a condition of inclined soil, waste heaps to withstand or undergo movement. The slope is an unprotected ground surface that can be situated at an angle of horizontal. Slopes are necessitated in the construction of railway embankments and highways, levees, bridges, earth dams, reservoirs and canals, etc., and are generally less expansive. Failures of natural and man-made slopes have demise …

A Review Study on Dynamic Analysis of Multistoreyed Buildings by using Seismostruct Software
Abstract: Civil Engineering structures are designed to withstand environmental forces like earthquake, along with gravity loads. These forces are random and dynamic in nature. Therefore the response of the structure is also dynamic and that is what causes the unsafe and uncomfortable conditions. So, performance based analysis of the structure is required which can be achieved by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) as well as Response Spectrum analysis (RSA). But, Incremental dynamic …
