Book excerpt: The Kobe Earthquake of 17 January 1995 devastated the city due to a series of geological reasons and the location of its epicentre. However, the analysis of its effect on soil liquefaction, lifeline systems, ground failure and other important sources in damage can help us to understand and improve our approach to the design and analysis of structures in seismic regions.

Download or read book Reconstructing Kobe written by David W. Edgington and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hanshin Earthquake was the largest disaster to affect postwar Japan and one of the most destructive postwar natural disasters to strike a developed country. Although the media focused on the disaster's immediate effects, the long-term reconstruction efforts have gone largely unexplored. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, David Edgington records the first ten years of reconstruction and recovery and asks whether planners successfully exploited opportunities to make a more sustainable and disaster-proof city. This book is an intricate investigation of one of the largest redevelopment projects in recent memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most devastating earthquake to hit Japan since the 1923 Tokyo earthquake occurred at 5:46 A.M. local time on January 17, 1995. As this report went to press, over 5,000 people were reported killed, more than 26,000 people were injured, and over 300,000 people were left homeless. At the time of the earthquake, about 40 American engineers, scientists, and government officials were in Osaka, 30 km east of Kobe, for a joint U.S.-Japan Workshop on Urban Earthquake Hazard Reduction, co-sponsored by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) and the Japan Institute of Social Safety Science (ISSS), and funded by National Science Foundation (NSF). The workshop participants immediately undertook preliminary post earthquake reconnaissance efforts ... This report summarizes preliminary information gathered by the workshop participants in the first week after the earthquake. The damage caused by the magnitude 6.8 Hyogo-Ken Nanbu earthquake (Great Hanshin Earthquake Disaster) is so extensive that field investigations and cooperative studies with other organizations will continue for some time--

This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jan. 17, 1995, Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake was one of the worst disasters to hit Japan in almost half a century. It has been compared in its impact to the great Kanto (Tokyo) Earthquake of 1923. The Kobe-Osaka region held many similarities in its geologic and tectonic setting to many areas along the West Coast, and possibly, other areas of the U.S. A geotechnical reconnaissance to identify the relevant problems and issues was organized. This report provides a timely, first-hand overview of the type and extent of the geotechnical aspects of the damage.

Download or read book The Great Hanshin Earthquake Japan written by Alexander Howden Group and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 17 January 1995, a 7.2 Richter magnitude earthquake centred near Kobe in Japan killed 5,300 people, destroyed 110,000 buildings and crippled the world's sixth largest port. Though ranked only 27th of Japan's earthquakes this century in terms of magnitude, it caused more deaths than all but the infamous Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Most deaths in Kobe were due to collapse of older buildings on soft dry soil. Virtually all new buildings survived unscathed - a testament to modern Japanese earthquake engineering practice. Initial estimates put total property damage in excess of US $1 00 billion. However, due to statutory limits on earthquake cover in Japan and low take-up of earthquake insurance due to relatively low earthquake incidence in the region, insured losses were initially expected to be only around US $5 billion. Deregulation of the country's insurance market in 1996 will clearly provide significant encouragement to the insurance industry to offer cover in greater depth.
