A seismic response analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) pier has been undertaken using seismic waves recorded at the Takatori station during the southern Hyogo perfecture earthquake in 1995 in Japan. Distinguishing characteristics of this analysis are as follows. First, the RC pier has been modeled using the finite element method with a solid mesh. The analysis model has been generated using tetrahedral elements with node connectivity, not only in the concrete but also in the reinforcement steel. Also, an analysis has been undertaken on fracture treatments in the concrete. Using PDS-FEM, a system of suitable fractures in the concrete resulting from the seismic event can be simulated. Ultimately, a finite element model is established with a fine tetrahedron mesh with about 20 million elements. We calculate a seismic response analysis using the K computer at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, and compare that result with a seismic experiment in E-Defense to confirm the computational approach.
