description In this paper, a pseudostatic seismic coefficient evaluation method for slope dynamic stability analysis was explored with Yushu Airport Road 3# landslide as a typical engineering case, and the shaking table test and numerical calculation were performed during the exploration. The loading waveform was selected as Yushu wave, and the acceleration time-history of seismic waves was measured and analyzed, revealing the failure mode of slopes. Based on the rigid-body limit equilibrium theory, the instantaneous additional seismic forces of each block and the time-history landslide stability coefficient were calculated. According to the time-history of the landslide, dynamic stability coefficients were calculated. Subsequently, we proposed a pseudostatic seismic coefficient evaluation method and discussed the seismic coefficient slope dynamic stability analysis. The results showed that as the vibration frequency rose, the average acceleration and the residual displacement of the slope decreased, but the slope grew more dynamically stable. With the proposed method, we calculated the period of slope seismic action to be 0.126 s and the average maximum acceleration to be 0.156 g, which was close to the designed ground motion acceleration of 0.15 g. Besides, we calculated the safety factor of landslides under earthquake to be 0.93∼0.97, which was close to that obtained from the building code method and in accordance with the present seismic deformation and failure mode of landslides. Moreover, the results obtained from the method of nuclear power plant specification were relatively small compared to other specification methods. The research is significant because it provides a new idea for the evaluation of seismic landslide stability in practical engineering.
