Abstract
Damage to non-structural components in large roof buildings, failed during the Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku Earthquake in 2008 or an earthquake in the north shore of Iwate prefecture in July 24th of 2008, is reported.
The northeastern region of Japan had been hit by major earthquakes frequently in recent years. Nevertheless, the similar damage had been repeated, since the failed parts had been fixed and recovered always with no essential improvements.
