Visualizing the Seismic Spectral Response of the 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake Using Volume Rendering Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an innovative method using volume rendering computer graphics techniques for visualizing the spectral information of a seismic response, using the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan as an example. In ...
Improving Parallel Substructuring Efficiency by Using a Multilevel Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research adopted a multilevel substructuring approach to improve the efficiency of parallel substructure finite-element analysis. The multilevel approach employed in this work provides a simple way to parallelize the ...
Automated Crack Detection and Damage Index Calculation for RC Structures Using Image Analysis and Fractal Dimension
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Damage assessment in postearthquake reconnaissance of civil structures has traditionally relied upon the judgment of experienced site inspectors. In a step toward eliminating the need for on-site inspections, this paper ...
