Introduction to Computational Earthquake Engineering covers solid
continuum mechanics, finite element method and stochastic modeling
comprehensively, with the second and third chapters explaining the
numerical simulation of strong ground motion and faulting, respectively.
Stochastic modeling is used for uncertain underground structures, and
advanced analytical methods for linear and non-linear stochastic models
are presented. The verification of these methods by comparing the
simulation results with observed data is then presented, and examples of
numerical simulations which apply these methods to practical problems
are generously provided. Furthermore three advanced topics of
computational earthquake engineering are covered, detailing examples of
applying computational science technology to earthquake engineering
problems.
