On the Role of Computational Methods in Earthquake Engineering


Abstract eng:
In view of reasons like the size and complicatedness of current civil and structural engineering projects, and the lack of sufficient knowledge about exact, versatile, and robust analysis methods and solutions, the computational issues of structural and earthquake engineering are in considerable attention. Considering this and the limitations existing on the financial sources and facilities supporting research projects, proper allocation of facilities is of vital importance. Accordingly, in order to dedicate the sources and facilities in a more optimized and appropriate manner, budget the research funds in a better way, and clarify the main streams of research, it is meaningful to study the importance of computational issues in earthquake engineering. Consequently, the objective, in this paper, is to take a step forward towards better knowledge on the contribution of computational issues in earthquake engineering.
