Abstract

This paper presents the application of high performance computing to the earthquake disaster and hazard estimation, which is the first step taken to mitigate or reduce earthquake disasters. Capability computing is used in the seismic response analysis of important structures. A non-linear dynamic finite element method is developed to solve a high fidelity model of such structures. Explained are two examples of such capability computing. Capacity computing is used as new method of earthquake hazard and disaster evaluation for a densely populated urban area. Integrated earthquake simulation, which seamless analyzes the wave propagation pro- cess, the structure seismic response process, and the reaction process for earthquake disaster. Two examples of such integrated simulations are presented.
