Abstract
The dynamic analyses of the landfill slopes were carried out on typical landfills (Bishkek) in Kyrgyzstan. The site investigation consists of boreholes, geotechnical laboratory tests and geophysical tests in field. Based on the results of the site investigation, dynamic analyses of the selected landfills were carried out with the finite-difference program FLAC3D and QUAKE/W Features, advantages and disadvantages of these programs are discussed and the results of the response analysis of the selected landfills, subjected to an earthquake with a peak ground acceleration of 0.5g, are presented in this paper. The results of the analysis showed that the slope instabilities will occur approximately after 12 seconds of shaking.
