Abstract (EN): In this work the two-dimensional finite difference program Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC) was used to model the seismic response of a geosynthetic reinforced steep slope. The paper presents a study that was carried out to analyze the influence of boundary conditions and input motion. The permanent displacements of the slope face and reinforcement tensile forces are analyzed and compared. © CIMNE, 2007.
