Abstract
The embankement on tilted bedrock often suffers seismic damage in the previous strong earthquake; however, there is few previous study on the seismic response characteristics of the embankments on such a tilted bedrock. Based on shaking table test results in a centrifuge, the effect of the gradient of tilted bedrock on the seismic response were examined in this study.
The test results were compared with the estimation by the Newmark method for embankement on tilted bedrock. It revealed that the cross-spring model can contribute to Newmark method by the estimation of dynamic response of embankment.
