Minisymposium in ““Software Development in the Field of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics”

A minisymposium is organised in the framework of the 4th
International Conference on Computational Dynamics and
Earthquake Engineering – COMPDYN 2013
(www.compdyn2013.org)
:

“Software Development in the Field of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics”.
 

Organizer:  Anastasios Sextos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece)

 description:  The mini-symposium
will focus on recent advances in software development for
Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics purposes. More specifically, it will encourage contributions that
will demonstrate new
software applications, web-based engineering tools, frameworks for
hybrid simulation and distributed computing, knowledge-based & expert
systems, finite
element programs, numerical analysis pre- and post- processing
front-ends, data and metadata dissemination and management
systems, high performance, parallel and cloud computing schemes,
applications for mobile devices and tablets as well as GIS-based
visualization tools. Emphasis will be primarily (but not
exclusively) given to the application of the above software
systems towards the
mitigation of seismic risk, the design and assessment of
earthquake resistant buildings and bridges, the assessment of
special and monumental structures, system identification and structural health
monitoring, performance-based engineering, seismic
isolation and control of structures, dynamic soil-structure
interaction, strong ground motion selection and scaling as well as
seismic wave propagation through the soil media. It is envisioned that the Symposium will constitute a forum
on the recently developed earthquake-engineering-related software
that will facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and promote the
interaction and cooperation between the developers and the
end-users.
