Abstract
Focusing on the areal characteristics, the survey group of JSCE on the Off West Fukuoka Earthquake made a comparison of damage between the area around the CTI Fukuoka Building where a maximum acceleration of 489 gal was recorded and the area around the K-NET Fukuoka Earthquake Wave Observation Point. It was found that both the damage to structures and the maximum acceleration were greater around the former area which is situated along the Kego Fault. It is considered that this difference was caused by the difference of stratigraphic features around the fault, with a shallow bedrock existing on the west side of the fault and a deep bedrock on the east side of the fault.
