ABSTRACT
By simulating the multipoint seismic ground motions varied with time and space, which transforms
into a multi-point seismic load, and introducing calculation of water pressure, the multi-point seismic
stability analysis method considering leachate is derived. A method of solving safety factor and
deviation analysis is proposed and the calculation program is compiled, with which the sensitivity of the
influencing factors is analyzed. The results show that the safety factor when considering the leachate,
which declines linearly as the leachate level increases, is smaller than that without consideration; the
safety factor shows a linear decreasing trend as the specific weight γsw increases, which is more obvious
as γsw increases. The effect of δp, the friction angle of the interface between the landfill and the bottom
liner, on the safety factor is obviously larger than that of the cohesion cp; whatever the leachate level
is, as amax, the maximum acceleration of seismic ground motions increases, and the safety factor shows
a declining trend. The calculation of stability analysis considering leachate level influences the safety
factor of the landfill, which has important significance for the evaluation of stability and safety of the
landfill in wet and rainy areas.
