The South Hyogo Prefecture earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.2 and a
maximum acceleration of 800 gal, sent a variety of ripples surging through the
construction
industry. By the middle of February, Kajima was not only involved in
the removal of structural debris and renovation work, but was also implementing
damage condition surveys, recovery plans, emergency disposal, and surveys and
recovery plans for civil engineering structures such as roadways, sea walls and
railways, etc.
Our teams of technicians were deployed in affected areas directly
after the eart
hquake in order to collect status reports on damage. The results of
this were co
llected into the 1995 South Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake Damage Survey
by January
27th, published as a first edition, covering a total of 186 pages, on
February
1st, and immediately became a topic for conversation throughout all
areas. A por
tion of this report is below.
