Evaluation of Equivalent Single-degree-of-freedom Method for Nonlinear Dynamic Response Analysis of Embankments

A static push-over analysis method was used to assess nonlinear behavior of embankments. Then, based on the results of the analysis, a simple method for carrying out nonlinear seismic response analysis of an embankment using an equivalent-single-degree-of-freedom model was proposed. Seismic responses of embankments calculated using the proposed method agreed...
