| 摘要： | In the aftermath of the Hanshin/Awaji Earthquake (Kobe Earthquake, January 17, 1995), seismic design specifications are being reviewed and revised in Japan, under watchful eyes of the United States. The devastation caused by the Kobe Earthquake--5,500 fatalities and extensive property damage--has resulted in innovative approaches by Japanese engineers to rebuild with seismicity in mind. This article examines specific examples of earthquake damage in Kobe, such as the Hanshin Expressway, and reports on lessons learned. Foundations, isolation bearings, and retrofitting of reinforced concrete columns and steel columns are discussed. The significance of the Kobe Earthquake to the United States lies in the fact that Kobe was considered to be a region of low or even negligible risk of moderate earthquakes--an alarming fact for low seismic activity regions of the United States that are ill prepared to withstand the effects of a Kobe-force earthquake. |
