Abstract: “This paper presents the framework of integrated earthquake simulation, which is a seamless simulation of all processes of earthquake hazard and disaster, for a pipeline network. Explained are the analysis model and method that are developed for the ground motion analysis and the seismic re-sponse analysis. As the core elements of these two analyses, large-scale dynamic 3D finite element analysis and met-modeling are developed. Examples of the integrated earthquake simulation for the pipeline network made by a prototype code are shown, and the results are discussed.”

Keywords: integration of numerical simulation, earthquake wave propagation, seismic response anlaysis, meta-modeling
