Building upon Japan’s legacy in seismic safety, the country’s approach to constructing earthquake proof buildings is a testament to its commitment to safeguarding its citizens and infrastructure. In this seismically active region, Japan’s buildings are not only designed to resist earthquakes but ...
EarthquakeJapan SeaStructural damageA summary review of the Japan Sea (Nipponkai-chubu) earthquake of 1983 is presented. Damage to civil and building structures is explained in brief. Owing to the spread of earthquake-proof design, damage sustained was very slight for a M = 7.7 earthquake, ...
As a super-tall structure, Torch Tower must exhibit exceptional earthquake-proof and seismic resistance capabilities. To meet this requirement, the design team developed a damped braced tube system that combines high rigidity with significant damping properties. The innovative system is based on a brac...
growing need for flood countermeasures to protect human lives and assets from the frequent guerrilla torrential rains and wind and flood damage caused by large typhoons that have occurred in recent years, earthquake-proofing to ensure that toilets can be used even after an earthquake, and ...
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear threat and the sinking of the Titanic are both disasters caused by acts of nature – earthquake and tsunami in one case, an iceberg in the other – interacting with technology. Yet they have radically different implications. The Japanese incident has made nuclear powe...
The aftershocks are really scary– since the big earthquake it almost feels like there are small rumblings going on constantly. I especially feel this way at the office, where the building’s design makes it kind of easy to feel small tremors. The bigger ones fill me with dread. As they...

The Tohoku region, Northeast Japan, was hit by a gigantic earthquake which occurred in the Pacific close to Tohoku, and subsequently by a giant tsunami. These hazards have caused huge damage on the eastern coast Japan. The earthquake’s magnitude was 9.0, the strongest ever recorded in Japan....
and the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The latter badly damaged infrastructure, the social milieu, local communities and cities, industries and the environment of Japan’s northeastern coast, prompting the government to engage in an intense 10-year restoration and reconstruction ...
