Although the magnitudes of inland earthquakes are smaller than those of earthquakes in subduction zones, they have caused catastrophic disasters in the past. Seismic dama [...]

The concept of resilience is widely used in the disaster management field. In the earthquake-engineering field, many studies have investigated the structural performance [...]

Dynamic collapse analyses of a 4-story steel building frame modeled by solid elements are performed using the E-Simulator, which is a parallel finite element analysis sof [...]

Seismic response analysis is carried out for a base-isolated frame． The RC-frame members as well as the rubber bearings are discretized into hexahedral finite elements. [...]

The project of E-Simulator is under way at Hyogo Earthquake Engineering Research Center (E-Defense), which belongs to National Research Institute for Earth Science and Di [...]

Vulnerability functions of wooden houses, which use the results of seismic diagnosis and an acceleration response spectrum, are formulated using equivalent linear models. [...]

This report presents a research project of developing “E-Simulator: virtual shaking table”, which is a simulation software based on a finite element method to analyze [...]

Accuracy of estimated seismic waves using a one-dimensional ground model is examined. Hiyoshi Area in Yokohama is focused, which has relatively complicated topography. Fi [...]
