摘要：	As the images of devastation continue to come out of Turkey and northern Syria, it is clear that earthquakes can cause formidable damage with the power to haunt affected areas for years to come. In order to make cities in earthquake-prone regions more resilient, engineers rely on simulation models to help predict the potential effects of seismic activity on buildings and other key pieces of community infrastructure. Such models can inform structural engineering, architectural retrofitting, and earthquake recovery - yet the development of such data-heavy, physics-based models has, to date, been limited by the availability of supercomputing time to run them. Now, scientists from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, also known as Berkeley Lab, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a new simulation software, EQSIM, and announced that they will adapt and release the resulting data sets to the public through the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center.
