Failure Characteristics and Mechanism of Multiface Slopes under Earthquake Load Based on PFC Method

Understanding the failure mechanism and failure modes of multiface slopes in the Wenchuan earthquake can provide a scientific guideline for the slope seismic design. In this paper, the two-dimensional particle flow code (PFC2D) and shaking table tests are used to study the failure mechanism of multi...
