This international symposium will provide an opportunity to exchange information on the broad spectrum of the ESG study. At the same time, it is intended to stimulate further ESG studies using strong motion data observed in recent devastating earthquakes. We expect to have researchers in this field from around the world together to exchange ideas and experiences and to discuss the remaining problems and further perspectives. It will be a wonderful opportunity for the worldwide researchers on ESG to look at themselves and to find their own directions of research. The key factors required for the successful prediction will be made clear through simultaneous simulation on the devastating earthquakes by many researchers as well as engineers.
Simulation is open to anybody.
Summarizing reports for test site experiments at Turkey Flat, Kushiro, Thessaloniki, San Francisco, Mexico City, Guerrero, Granada, Taipei, Manila, etc. What we know and what we don't. It is not intended to have researchers compete on how well their predictions fit the observed data. Submitted simulated motions will be compared with each other. The Japanese Working Group will handle most of the work on information clearing house and organization.
