Abstract
Computer-aided earthquake engineering requires the integration of many new and developing computer technologies. It involves engineering workstations, super-computing, and networking, and requires such tools as interactive graphics, algorithms, and numerical modeling. At Cornell we have established a program in this field with three interrelated areas of study. First and foremost is the design, redesign, and/or evaluation of structural systems. This entails determining whether structural schemes are safe (as well as functional and economic) and, if they are not, determining what changes are necessary to make them appropriately strong or stiff. The computer methods used are both algorithmic (using a specific procedure to carry out a specific calculation) and advisory (relying on so-called expert systems, based on prior knowledge). The second concern is the advancement of computer-simulation techniques. Improved methods will aid in analysis and design, and support research into the behavior of structures.
