The result shows that the deformed slope is slightly stable under natural condition but is unstable in rainstorm condition and under
seismic load.
The
seismic load used was a spectrum consistent ground acceleration generated from El Centro 18 May 1940 North-South component in accordance to the new code (2500 year return period).
It can be considered that the cracks or even the collapse occurred under the
seismic load because of the difference in deformation.
Total
Seismic load and the governed vertical loads on columns have been obtained following the linear static analysis.
This paper aims to present research directed towards numerically estimating the possible effect of a
seismic load (earthquake) on a wind turbine structural system that has undergone fatigue over time from constant exposure to wind forces.
It features a dual seismic system that is more commonly used in taller buildings, consisting of buckling restrained braced frames, which absorb 75 to 90 percent of the structure's
seismic load, and special moment frames, whose reduced beam sections help minimize seismic demand on the columns.

seismic load tests on reinforced concrete columns, Journal of Engineering and Management, (6), pp.
The structure must also satisfy wind and
seismic load requirements, which Kreysler did through finite element analysis.
All piers of the bridges with seismic isolation bearings resist the
seismic load and redistribute the load that it is different than the existing bridges that resist the
seismic load with one fixed pier.
Seismic potential post-Aceh earthquake may need to be re-evaluated for input to the current
seismic load. Existence of Sumatra Fault Zone (SFZ) that passes to the city increases the concern of imminent future big earthquake originated from this SFZ rather than from the subduction source.
