Depending on the numerical accuracy required, we can choose a simple mass spring system or a solid element model in carrying out structural seismic response analysis. The [...]

In order to make a practical disaster assessment based on simulations, we need detailed urban models, which include all individual buildings in a target city. However, th [...]

A more sophisticated analysis is being required to examine the seismic safety of an important structure subjected to larger ground motion. The utilization of high perform [...]

Integrated earthquake simulation (IES) is a seamless simulation of analyzing the seismic wave propagation process and the structural seismic response process. A model of [...]

The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake exposed limitations of present hazard maps and evacuation manual for unexpected earthquake and tsunami. In particular, information fo [...]

This paper presents two examples of applying high performance computation (HPC) to earthquake engineering problems. One example is for the seismic structure response simu [...]

There is increasing concern about the three-dimensional finite element analysis of large underground tunnels due to the threat of a nearby earthquake generating large str [...]

An approach to estimate the response of a model of nuclear power plant (NPP) that includes the rupture of a nearby fault using a multiscale approach is demonstrated. The [...]
