Key research thrust areas:
There are three key thrust areas in QuakeCoRE's computational infrastructure efforts:
- Ground motion simulation
- Seismic response modelling of infrastructure
- Seismic performance and loss assessment
Critical activities associated with each of these activities are outlined below.
1. Ground motion simulation
This is a stub - info to be added
2. Seismic response modelling of infrastructure
Seismic response modelling of infrastructure includes both detailed modelling of individual infrastructure components (e.g. individual structural and geotechnical systems), as well as spatially-distributed infrastructure systems.
OpenSees Development
The Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) is the principal collaborative software for detailed modelling of individual infrastructure used by QuakeCoRE. You can find specific initiatives by clicking on the link above.

Sung Bae, IT architect
Sharmila Savarimuthu, software engineer
Viktor Polak, software engineer
Richard Clare (QuakeCoRE employee till June 2016)
