Outline of this page
- The seismicity map of the East Asia area is shown in the following figure.
- As shown in the figure, the area from the Indochinese Peninsula to the Malay Peninsula has comparatively few earthquakes.
- However, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Indonesia are quake-prone areas, and have suffered the damage caused by big earthquakes repeatedly until now.
- When constructing a civil structure in these areas, it is important to design based on the seismic wave analysis and seismic structural analysis to estimate the behavior of a structure.
- So, on this page, webmaster wishes to introduce some programs for seismic wave analysis and simple FEM program for structural analysis under earthquake.
