Compared with foreign countries’seismic design of slope,there are significant differences in Chinese design concept and design method.Therefore,it is difficult for the designers to adapt to the seismic design requirements of overseas projects,which greatly restricts the smooth implementation of overseas projects.We have collected and summarized the process and specific operation methods of quay slope seismic design in American standard,mainly have introduced the liquefaction evaluation,quasi-static method,the undrained residual strength(Sr)and Newmark method.We provide a case of seismic design of the slope according to the American seismic standard,which can provide reference for future seismic slope design of foreign project.
