Special theme session

10 year anniversary of the Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering
Special theme session 1

"Damaging earthquakes over the past 10 years"

Numerous damaging earthquakes have occurred both within and outside of Japan over the past ten years, marking the start of the 21st century. The type of damage varied considerably depending on the location of the epicenter, the nature of the earthquake motion that occurred and the state of the area sustaining the damage. In this session we will review the features of the respective damage from ten earthquakes occurring within and outside of Japan over the past ten years from a variety of perspectives encompassing the epicenter, the earthquake motion, the soil, the structures, machinery and equipment and the social response, and we will discuss issues that arose and how to deal with them in the future.

Special theme session 2

"Trends and developments in earthquake engineering over the past 10 years"

While variety of new approaches have been taken in the field of earthquake engineering over the ten years marking the start of the 21st century, a number of problems, associated with social conditions, have surfaced, which we have had to confront while moving forward at the same time. In this session we will review the trends in the various fields of earthquake engineering over these past ten years and the ensuing developments, and, in turn, we will discuss issues, such as how coordination ideally should be from the perspective of the user, rather than the so-called conventional vertically divided response.
