ABSTRACT

Large-scale numerical simulation is being enabled by utilizing high performance computing. A socially important target is the estimation of earthquake hazard and disaster. Integrated Earthquake Simulation is being developed to this end. This simulation combines the ground motion simulation and the urban are seismic response simulation. A parallel finite element method has been developed so that an analysis model of a few ten trillion degree-of-freedoms can be solved. An analysis model is automatically constructed for an urban area using available data resources.
