Abstract

During the Kobe Earthquake in 1995, residential buildings and infrastructure were heavily damaged, and extensive liquefaction of ground was also observed. That triggered numerous hazard mitigation studies by gathering geotechnical and geographic information as well as damage records of the earthquake. Especially, processing such data has been making rapid progress, being reflected in mapping of liquefaction potential. This report describes a current state of the studies.
