Finite Element Seismic Response Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Pier with a Fractured Fine Tetrahedron Mesh

摘要: A seismic response analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) pier has been undertaken using waves recorded at the Takatori station during southern Hyogo perfecture earthquake in 1995 Japan. Distinguishing characteristics this are as follows. First, RC modeled finite element method with solid mesh. The model generated tetrahedral elements node connectivity, not only but also reinforcement steel. Also, an on fracture treatments concrete. Using PDS-FEM, system suitable fractures resulting from event can be simulated. Ultimately, is established fine tetrahedron mesh about 20 million elements. We calculate K computer RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, and compare that result experiment E-Defense to confirm computational approach.
