The Relationship

In the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, the Futagawa fault zone and the Hinagu fault zone were active in some sections, causing severe damage in neighboring areas along the faults. We conducted a detailed investigation of the surface earthquake fault, building damage, and site amplification of shallow ground within about 1 km of the neighboring areas of the fault. The focus was mainly on Kawayou district, Minamiaso village and Miyazono district, Mashiki town, and locations that suffered particularly severe building damage. We explored the relationship between local strong motion and building damage caused in areas that were in the immediate vicinity of the active fault.

A signicant Mw 6.5 earthquake occurred in Pidie Jaya, Aceh on December 7th, 2016. The event affected104 people death and more than 1000 people suered injuries due to the rubble of the building. Geologically, the region is composed by of Quaternary alluvial deposits. This is one of factor that amplication occurred in some area. On the other hand, an understanding of the source and mechanism of the earthquake needs to be done. A few days after the earthquake, we deployed 9 seismometers that covered the area of Pidie, Pidie Jaya and Bireuen. This experiment aims to record the aftershock and understanding of earthquake source and mechanism. In addition, we conducted building damage survey to know the pattern of distributionof building damage.

In this paper, it is a brief summary for the field survey on the 27 February, 2010 Malue mega-earthquake, Chile by a Chinese scientist team. This mission is to investigate the reason why such a great earthquake caused less causalities, less loss compared with Chinese Wenchuan and Yushu earthquake. This survey was sponsored by China Earthquake Administration and this paper focused on the strong motion data analysis, some building damage observation and tsunami. We gave a preliminary analysis for the strong motions characteristic and some typical building damage. The understanding of this great earthquake could be improved our knowledge for advancing societal resilience.

Taiwan Earthquake

On 31 March 2002, an earthquake of magnitude ML=6.8 occurred in northeastern Taiwan that caused five deaths and damage to more than 300 buildings. The earthquake left some important lessons; these lessons were not considered after the 1999 Chi-Chi (Taiwan) earthquake but must be taken into account for the management of a similar situation in the future. This article first presents the strong motion characteristics found from the ground accelerations recorded from this event. In particular, the basin effects on the distribution of ground motion intensities observed in Taipei Basin are critically reviewed. Observations of some severe building damage following the earthquakes are then summarized. The building damage modes for this event, particularly due to the basin effect, are explored in detail. The characteristics of the building disaster reflected a typical situation that can occur in cities located in high seismic risk. Finally, the collapse of the two tower cranes on, and its impact on, the Taipei Financial Center construction site are described in detail. This article presents the main lessons learned from this earthquake in the light of work performed by the research team for natural disaster from the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering, Taiwan.

Post Disaster

Following a damaging earthquake, the immediate emergency response is focused on individual collapsed buildings or other “hotspots” rather than the overall state of damage. This lack of attention to the global damage condition of the affected region can lead to the reporting of misinformation and generate confusion, causing difficulties when attempting to determine the level of post-disaster resources required. A pre-planned building damage survey based on the transect method is recommended as a simple tool to generate an estimate of the overall level of building damage in a city or region. A methodology for such a transect survey is suggested, and an example of a similar survey conducted in Christchurch, New Zealand, following the 22 February 2011 earthquake is presented. The transect was found to give suitably accurate estimates of building damage at a time when information was keenly sought by government authorities and the general public.

Inspection Data

This paper analyzes the building damage inspection in the 2007 Niigata Chuetsu-Oki earthquake and proposes a building damage inspection by disaster victims themselves. It is well known that the building damage is important in estimating the amount of damage brought by disasters. One important type of damage survey is loss evaluation, conducted by local governments for determining the apportionment of money, donations, allotment of temporary housing, and other recovery- related benefits. Despite the existence of guidelines, however, many issues require technical and procedural improvement. Based on the damage inspection data collected by Kashiwazaki officials following the 2007 Niigata Chuetsu-Oki earthquake, we identified key factors hampering the inspection and propose self-inspection as a solution in loss evaluation.
