1 英语原文及翻译： EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED LANDSLIDE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF THE LAS COLINAS LANDSLIDE IN EL SALVADOR H.Y. LUO, W. ZHOU, S.L. HUANG, G. CHEN Abstract: The January 13, 2001 earthquake (M7.6) off the coast of El Salvador triggered widespread damaging landslides in many parts of the country. The Las Colinas landslide, located in Balsamo Ridge west of San Salvador, caused the greatest loss of life in a single location from the earthquake. The preearthquake and post-earthquake seismic stability analysis of the Las Colinas slope is studied using the limit equilibrium and finite element methods in this paper. The safety factor of the pre-earthquake slope was likely over 1.50 based on the low groundwater level, which was noted by local residents prior to the January 13 earthquake. The slope failed as the horizontal earthquake coefficient, kc, reached between 0.18g and 0.31g depending on the failure analysis methods (i.e. circle and trial surface methods) and the low soil strength assumed. The safety factor of the post-earthquake slope falls in a range from 1.851 at low water saturation to 1.337 when fully saturated. As compared with the pre-earthquake slope, the stability is about 8% higher for the post-earthquake slope. Keywords: Earthquake, landslide, seismic, stability, limit equilibrium, finite element. 1、INTRODUCTION El Salvador locates on the Pacific coast of theisthmus and bordered by Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and the east. The country has experienced, on average, one destructive earthquake every decade during the last hundred years. The earthquake of January 13, 2001 that struck El Salvador was the first major seismicdisaster of the third millennium and the fifth destructive earthquake to affect this small Central America republic in 50 years (Bommer and Benito, 2002). The January 13 earthquake triggered the Las Colinas landslide off the steep northern flank of Balsamo Ridge. The landslide originated at an elevation of about 1,040m to
