The near-field earthquake which struck the Hanshin-Awaji area of
Japan before dawn on January 17, 1995, in addition to snatching
away the lives of more than 6,000 people, inflicted horrendous
damage on the region's infrastructure, including the
transportation, communication and lifeline supply network and, of
course, on buildings, too. A year earlier, the San Fernando Valley
area of California had been hit by another near-field quake, the
Northridge Earthquake, which dealt a similarly destructive blow to
local infrastructures. Following these two disasters, structural
engineers and researchers around the world have been working
vigorously to develop methods of design for the kind of structure
that is capable of withstanding not only the far-field tectonic
earthquakes planned for hitherto, but also the full impact of
near-field earthquake.
