Investigation of the Concept and Development of the Seismic Design Procedures in japan

일본의 내진 설계 개념과 발전동향 조사

Seismic design codes in japan have been developed from the experience obtained from the past earthquakes. After the Hyogoken-nanbu earthquake occurred in 1995 the seismic design code have adopt the performance-based design methodology. This study introduces the concept and evolution of seismic design in japan. These studies can be utilized as a basic material in establishing new seismic design procedure in Korea
