Query: Merging Virtual and Real Environments for Visualizing Seismic Hazards
  and Risk   Earthquake research in the last few decades has led to considerable advances
in seismic hazard and risk modeling across academia, industry, and government.
Technological advances such as high performance computing and visualization can
further facilitate earthquake hazard and risk research. This work utilizes the
CAVE of the Marquette Visualization Laboratory to visualize seismic hazards and
risk by integrating hazard characterization, structural modeling, and emergency
response. Building upon the framework of performance-based earthquake
engineering, site-specific ground motions, which link seismic hazards to
structural responses, serve as loading inputs to structural models. The
resulting structural responses can then be translated into damage states of
building elements in the immediate room environment based on fragility
functions. To illustrate, we display a map of the Los Angeles region with
ground motions for the Mw7.8 ShakeOut scenario, create a virtual room in a
residential building subjected to such earthquake shaking, and simulate
emergency response in this immersive environment. The illustrative
visualization can be extended to various scenarios and help communicate site-
and structure-specific hazards and risk to the general public.
