Popis: The stability of the earth slope during seismic loading conditions is an important topic in the geotechnical engineering field. Several researchers reported stability analysis of slope under static and seismic loading conditions. This paper represents a comparative study of homogeneous c − ϕ soil slope stability using different dynamic approaches considering planer, circular and log-spiral rupture surfaces. Also, this paper provides a comparative study between the values of factor of safety obtained by the analytical approach and numerical solution. Results obtained from the different approaches are presented in tabular form to understand the comparison of different approaches considering different failure surfaces. It is observed that values of factor of safety obtained by the dynamic analysis considering log-spiral rupture surface are lower than the corresponding values obtained by the dynamic analyses assuming circular and planer failure surface.
