Model applications

WG leaders

• Xiang-chu Yin (CAP, CSB, China)
• Hans Mühlhaus (CSIRO, Australia)
• Dave Jackson (UCLA, USA)
• Naoshi Hirata (ERI, University of Tokyo, Japan)

Aims

• Development of applications using new simulation capabilities such as earthquake forecasting, space-time hazard quantification, strong ground motion prediction, scenario modelling, and industrial applications.

Functions

Strong ground motion studies, earthquake forecast tests and evaluations, benchmarks - model "shoot-outs", define set of standard problems, industrial/engineering applications, dams, buildings, structures, built environment, geophysical exploration, mining, geomechanics, materials engineering etc.
