Numerical simulation of structural damage caused by the tsunami

我们开发了一个分布式内存并行程序来模拟混凝土墙在海啸波冲击下的破坏。通过再现文献中报道的一些实验观察到的裂纹模式，验证了程序的有效性。经过验证的程序被用来成功地再现在港口和机场研究所大型水文地质水槽设施(LHGF)测试的足尺混凝土墙体模型上观测到的裂缝模式，使用实验观测的压力数据作为输入。

We developed a distributed memory parallel program to simulate the failure of concrete walls under tsunami wave impacts. The program is validated by reproducing some experimentally observed crack patterns reported in literature. The validated program is used to successfully reproduce the observed crack patterns on full scale concrete wall models, tested at the Large Hydro-Geo Flume Facility (LHGF) of the Port and Airport Research Institute, using the experimentally observed pressure data as an input.
