STANDARDIZATION OF SESIMIC RESISTANCE DESIGN PROCEDURES AND UNIFIED VISUALIZATION OF STRUCTURE RESPONSE FOR IMPROVEMENT OF ENGINEERING ABILITY

Abstract

It will be an important task for local government officers to improve their engineering ability of foreseeing possible earthquake damages. To this end, this paper studies the standardization of seismic resistance design and the unified visualization of structure responses in whole city. Taking advantage of informatics, we reconstruct flowchart of various design codes such that the seismic resistance design can be presented in a common framework. The usage of integrated simulation system is studied for the visualization. The integration is achieved by an artificial intelligence that automatically makes an interpreter program which links the system to various simulation programs of structures.
