On Essentiality of Further Research on Computational Issues of Earthquake Engineering in Different Countries

Abstract eng:
Further research on different issues of earthquake engineering is a major tool in global seismic protection. Considering the different, including financial, supports needed for carrying out appropriate researches, the nature of earthquakes, and the fact that the disastrous effects are not limited to one country or even region, financing earthquake engineering researches, in an international manner, is reasonable. Nevertheless, for materializing the financing, it is essential, especially in the nowadays hard financial situation, after the financial crisis, few years ago, to make an idea about the sections of the research in further need of support. As a seemingly staring step in this regard, the objective in this paper is to compare the need of further seismic research in different countries. And, in view of the considerable role of computational issues in other areas of earthquake engineering and meanwhile the title of the COMPDYN 2011 conference, the main attention in this paper is on the computational issues of earthquake engineering and comparing the essentialities of further researches in several countries based on their seismic hazard, carried out researches, and financial capabilities. As a main conclusion, Italy is the country with least essentiality and Chile and Iran are the countries with most essentialities for further research on the computational issues of earthquake engineering.
