For a seismic case on a circular slip surface using one of the simplified methods for Newmark sliding block (eg. Jibson) - what displacement are you actually calculating? For example, if you calculate a displacement of 200mm, does that mean you are calculating 200mm of displacement along the circular slip surface (i.e. the crest is essentially slumping).
