The purpose of this presentation is to study the seismic behavior of the rock slopes and block structures during the 2006 Hawaii earthquakes. The geological engineering investigation of seismic damage after these earthquakes focuses on the relationships between the observed geology and the failure mechanisms. This relationship will be highlighted by discussing the observed rock failures with the involved parameters that have the greatest effect on stability during earthquakes. A brief overview of the seismic history of Hawaii and geology of the area will also be provided.
