Begins a series providing accounts of both basic and applied research in the various fields of earthquake engineering, emphasizing the analysis of earthquake resistance and the design of structural systems. From a May 1995 conference a safe half- planet away on Crete, specialists who were on the ground soon after the devastating earthquake in Japan in January 1995 offer seven summaries of their findings. They cover the seismotechnotic setting, strong ground motion, why Kobe suffered the heaviest damage, ground failures, ground subsidence in reclaimed land, the damage and restoration of lifelines, and a comparison of preparedness between Japanese and US local governments.
