Application of High Performance Computing to Earthquake Related Problems

This major reference summarizes the theory, analysis methods, and computational results from supercomputers of various earthquake simulations using supercomputers. It covers simulations in the fields of physical geology, earthquake engineering ¿ specifically the seismic response of structures ¿ and the socioeconomic impact of post-earthquake recovery on cities and societies. These simulations provide an effective bird's-eye view of earthquake occurrence, earthquake damage, and recovery from the damage.
