Developing an Internet Oriented Platform for Earthquake Engineering Application and Web-based Virtual Reality Simulation System for Seismic hazards: Towards Disaster Mitigation in Metropolises
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the state of the art on risk communication to the public, with an emphasis on simulation of seismic hazards using VRML. Rapid growth computer technologies, especially the Internet provide human beings new measures to deal with engineering and social problems which were hard to solve in traditional ways. This paper presents a prototype of an application platform based on the Internet using VR (Virtual Reality) for civil engineering considering building an information system of risk communication for seismic hazards and at the moment in the case of bridge structure.

Traditional computer applications in civil engineering are mainly for analysis, design and construction of buildings and other structures, which are basic components of social infrastructures. No doubt computer technology has been promoting productivities in the engineering aspect, but few successful efforts have been made in solving social and human related problems, such as disaster mitigatio...
متن کاملAn Optimization Model for Financial Resource Allocation Towards Seismic Risk Reduction
This paper presents a study on determining the degree of effectiveness of earthquake risk mitigation measures and how to prioritize such efforts in developing countries. In this paper a model is proposed for optimizing funds allocation towards risk reduction measures (building retrofitting) and reconstruction process after potential earthquakes in a regional level. The proposed model seeks opti...

Introduction: To cope with natural and unnatural critical events such as air crashes, car accidents, chemicals and earthquakes or floods needs powerful resource management. Some of these critical events are tiny and by using local and available resources management could be resolved, but some cover extended geographical areas and so need a massive, vast resources and high level management for e...
متن کاملSeismic Damage and Disaster Management Maps (A Case Study)
There are many cities in developing countries that are built with minimal seismic considerations. Also, due to the expenses involved regarding detailed and analytical identification of such vulnerable buildings and structures in these cities, is very difficult and also time consuming. It is necessary and much needed to have a quick and inexpensive solution for such assessment in cities with the...
