The Effects of Induced Anisotropy on Seismic Stability of Clayey Slopes: Numerical Study

This numerical study demonstrates that neglecting induced anisotropy in clayey slopes leads to significant oversimplification of soil behavior, as incorporating anisotropic properties via the SANICLAY model reveals increased shear stress, displacement, and sliding surfaces compared to isotropic models, thereby highlighting the necessity of accounting for anisotropy to achieve precise engineering seismic stability analyses.
