Abstract

In soft complex grounds, earthquakes cause damages with large deformation such as landslides and subsidence. Use of elasto-plastic models as the constitutive equation of soils is suitable for evaluation of nonlinear wave propagation with large ground deformation. However, there is no example of elasto-plastic nonlinear wave propagation analysis method capable of simulating a large-scale soil deformation problem. In this study, we developed a scalable elasto-plastic nonlinear wave propagation analysis program based on three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element method. The program attains 86.2% strong scaling efficiency from 240 CPU cores to 3840 CPU cores of PRIMEHPC FX10 based Oakleaf-FX [1], with 8.85 TFLOPS (15.6% of peak) performance on 3840 CPU cores. We verified the elasto-plastic nonlinear wave propagation program through convergence analysis, and conducted an analysis with large deformation for an actual soft ground modeled using 47,813,250 degrees-of-freedom.
