Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...
