Περίληψη | According to common practice the seismic design of any type of structure or infrastructure is focused on the
inertial loading and the resulting distress generated due to the imposed ground shaking. Regarding the effects of
fault rupture on seismic design, seismic norms contain mainly provisions that are related to the citation of the
structures/geostructures. Moreover, the additional distress imposed to large-scale structures (like bridges,
lifelines, dams, or earth-filled embankments) by the applied permanent deformations produced during a
potential fault rupture may not be possible to be avoided. As in many cases the exact location of faults is not
known, especially when surface scarps are not present, the consequences of the permanent deformations in
large-scale structures should be carefully and realistically evaluated. The current study examines numerically
the behavior of earth-filled embankments, focusing on their kinematic distress due to fault rupture propagation.
Apart from a brief literature review of the problem, a parametric study is conducted in order to investigate the
role of the main parameters involved. The results indicate that the effects of fault rupturing in earth-filled
embankments should be treated with caution. Additionally, the resulting kinematic distress should not be
disregarded in the stability assessment, and therefore, it should be taken into account in the overall seismic
design of the embankments | en |
