In seismic prone areas

it is necessary to study seismic stability of anchored rock slope. For anchored typical rock slope

the seismic safety factor of anchored rock slope against sliding and overturning failures is deduced by pseudo-static method and pseudo-dynamic method

respectively

in the different working conditions

considering both horizontal and vertical seismic forces

depth of water in tension crack

surcharge

dip angle of rock bolt

rock bolt position

tension force of rock bolt

and both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. The conclusions can be drawn that the upward vertical seismic force is conducive to the stability of anchored rock slope against sliding failure; but the downward vertical seismic force is conducive to the stability of anchored rock slope against overturning failure; in the same working conditions

the pseudo-dynamic and pseudo-static safety factors are all the same as the amplification factor is equal to 1.0; but the pseudo-dynamic safety factor is more and more obvious less than the pseudo-static safety factor as the amplification factor gradually increases. In seismic design

it will be beneficial to the safety design of anchored rock slope by appropriately considering the amplification factor.
