Abstract
Immediately following the Jan. 17, 1995, Kobe earthquake, a reconnaissance team was organized under the auspices of the Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Program of the Engineering Directorate of the National Science Foundation. The mission of the team was to provide a timely, first-hand overview of the type and extent of the damage, and to provide the necessary background information for future research and for U.S.-Japan cooperation in earthquake engineering. Additional information was gathered through participation in U.S.-Japan seminars and workshops, and through collaboration with researchers and practicing engineers in Japan. The research team has focused its efforts on seismology, strong ground motion, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering. This report provides summaries of the findings in these subject areas.
