Abstract
This paper presents a fundamental study as a first step to establish the performance-based earthquake resistant design method of slope-type revetment. One of the performance requirements for slope-type revetment is to prevent the coastal area from storm surge and tsunami disasters. Therefore, precise evaluation of the residual deformation of slope-type revetment is necessary in the performance-based earthquake-resistant design framework. We conducted two-dimensional earthquake response analyses and discussed the earthquake resistant performance of the slope-type revetment form the viewpoint of the effect of slope gradient and wall height. We furthermore studied the effect of frequency characteristic of earthquake ground motion on the residual deromation of the revetment.
