Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is important for all Japan to mitigate Chukyo area from earthquake disaster, since the accumulation of transportation and industry. This study aims detail prediction of seismic ground motion of Chukyo area. First the Green’s function database is developed for some important sites based on the soil structure model of wide area. Subsequently the ground motion prediction is applied using the Green's function database for several assumed earthquakes of active faults around Chukyo area. Finally, the web system to predict ground motion and building response for arbitrary seismic source models is developed.
