DISCUSSION ON RESEARCH ACTIVITY PUBLISHED AS "A QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY OF ESTIMATING SEISMIC INTENSITIES AT CONVENIENCE STORES"(Michihiro OHORI, Satoshi OKUDA, Kunio WAKAMATSU and Yuzuru YASUI, J. Struct. Constr. Eng., AIJ, No.478, 71-79, Dec., 1995)

Abstract

This would be a well-written paper enlarging the availability of questionnaire survey of seismic intensity originated by Y.Ohta. The proposed method that mail shot targets are convenience store's owners needs less work amount to distribute and retrieve a lot of questionnaire sheets; however, the obtained seismic intensity might be impossible to keep accurate enough for microzonation. The accuracy of seismic intensity in the above paper should be discussed.
