Effects of Earthquake on Behavior Characteristics of Fault Gouge in Time-History Analysis of Slope

Figure 2

The 3D slope model for the time-history analysis, which consists of soil, and highly weathered (H.W.) and moderately weathered (M.W.) rock. The bottom (greenish block) consists of slightly weathered (S.W.) rock. Six fault gouges within the slope are considered in the model. Fault gouges 1, 3, and 6 have a granitic origin, and fault gouges 2, 4, and 5 have a sedimentary origin.
