Japan’s Strict Building Codes Saved Lives
By JAMES GLANZ and NORIMITSU ONISHI
Hidden inside the skeletons of high-rise towers, extra steel bracing, giant
rubber pads and embedded hydraulic shock absorbers make modern Japanese
buildings among the sturdiest in the world during a major earthquake. And
all along the Japanese coast, tsunami warning signs, towering seawalls and
well-marked escape routes offer some protection from walls of water.
These precautions, along with earthquake and tsunami drills that are routine
for every Japanese citizen, show why Japan is the best-prepared country in
the world for the twin disasters of earthquake and tsunami — practices that
undoubtedly saved lives, though the final death toll is unknown.
In Japan, where earthquakes are far more common than they are in the United
States, the building codes have long been much more stringent on specific
matters like how much a building may sway during a quake.
After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, which killed about 6,000 people and
injured 26,000, Japan also put enormous resources into new research on
protecting structures, as well as retrofitting the country’s older and more
vulnerable structures. Japan has spent billions of dollars developing the
most advanced technology against earthquakes and tsunamis.
Japan has gone much further than the United States in outfitting new
buildings with advanced devices called base isolation pads and energy
dissipation units to dampen the ground’s shaking during an earthquake.
The isolation devices are essentially giant rubber-and-steel pads that are
installed at the very bottom of the excavation for a building, which then
simply sits on top of the pads. The dissipation units are built into a
building’s structural skeleton. They are hydraulic cylinders that elongate
and contract as the building sways, sapping the motion of energy.
Of course, nothing is entirely foolproof. Structural engineers monitoring
the events from a distance cautioned that the death toll was likely to rise
as more information became available. Dr. Jack Moehle, a structural engineer
at the University of California, Berkeley, said that video of the disaster
seemed to show that some older buildings had indeed collapsed.
The country that gave the world the word tsunami, especially in the 1980s
and 1990s, built concrete seawalls in many communities, some as high as 40
feet, which amounted to its first line of defense against the water. In some
coastal towns, in the event of an earthquake, networks of sensors are set
up to set off alarms in individual residences and automatically shut down
floodgates to prevent waves from surging upriver.
Critics of the seawalls say they are eyesores and bad for the environment.
The seawalls, they say, can instill a false sense of security among coastal
residents and discourage them from participating in regular evacuation
drills. Moreover, by literally cutting residents’ visibility of the ocean,
the seawalls reduce their ability to understand the sea by observing wave
patterns, critics say.
Waves from Friday’s tsunami spilled over some seawalls in the affected
areas. “The tsunami roared over embankments in Sendai city, washing cars,
houses and farm equipment inland before reversing directions and carrying
them out to sea,” according to a statement by a Japanese engineer, Kit
Miyamoto, circulated by the American Society of Civil Engineers. “Flames
shot from some of the houses, probably because of burst gas pipes.”
But Japan’s “massive public education program” could in the end have
saved the most lives, said Rich Eisner, a retired tsunami preparedness
expert who was attending a conference on the topic at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., on Friday.
In one town, Ofunato, which was struck by a major tsunami in 1960, dozens of
signs in Japanese and English mark escape routes, and emergency sirens are
tested three times a day, Mr. Eisner said.
Initial reports from Ofunato on Friday suggested that hundreds of homes had
been swept away; the death toll was not yet known. But Matthew Francis of
URS Corporation and a member of the civil engineering society’s tsunami
subcommittee, said that education may have been the critical factor.
“For a trained population, a matter of 5 or 10 minutes is all you may need
to get to high ground,” Mr. Francis said.
That would be in contrast to the much less experienced Southeast Asians,
many of whom died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami because they lingered
near the coast. Reports in the Japanese news media indicate that people
originally listed as missing in remote areas have been turning up in schools
and community centers, suggesting that tsunami education and evacuation
drills were indeed effective.
Unlike Haiti, where shoddy construction vastly increased the death toll last
year, or China, where failure to follow construction codes worsened the
death toll in the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Japan enforces some
of the world’s most stringent building codes. Japanese buildings tend to be
much stiffer and stouter than similar structures in earthquake-prone areas
in California as well, said Mr. Moehle, the Berkeley engineer: Japan’s
building code allows for roughly half as much sway back and forth at the top
of a high rise during a major quake.
The difference, Mr. Moehle said, comes about because the United States
standard is focused on preventing collapse, while in Japan — with many more
earthquakes — the goal is to prevent any major damage to the buildings
because of the swaying.
New apartment and office developments in Japan flaunt their seismic
resistance as a marketing technique, a fact that has accelerated the use of
the latest technologies, said Ronald O. Hamburger, a structural engineer in
the civil engineering society and Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, a San Francisco
engineering firm.
“You can increase the rents by providing a sort of warranty — ‘If you
locate here you’ll be safe,’ ” Mr. Hamburger said.
Although many older buildings in Japan have been retrofitted with new
bracing since the Kobe quake, there are many rural residences of older
construction that are made of very light wood that would be highly
vulnerable to damage. The fate of many of those residences is still unknown.
Mr. Miyamoto, the Japanese engineer, described a nation in chaos as the
quake also damaged or disabled many elements of the transportation system.
He said that he and his family were on a train near the Ikebukuro station
when the earthquake struck. Writing at 1:30 a.m., he said that “we are
still not far from where the train stopped.”
“Japan Railway actually closed down the stations and sent out all commuters
into the cold night,” he said. “They announced that they are concerned
about structural safety. Continuous aftershocks make me feel like car
sickness as my family and I walk on the train tracks.”
James Glanz reported from New York, and Norimitsu Onishi from Jakarta,
Indonesia.

8级烈度也说明不了太多问题;
不过,日本建筑的抗震水平确实很高,这是国情决定的,一个是地震多,一个是比较富

如果是地震多发区应该还是有相应的考量吧,但能做到多科学可能就比较难说,而且用
料这些的也要看预算了。

最近,似乎有政策要出台,农村自建房也要纳入国家建筑标准了,符合标准才能开工;

那当然了,如果都找专业的设计师,估计设计费都得好几万
外加各种材料
地震如果不多,设计那么高档,可能确实有点浪费
不过学校和医院可以修得牢固点

可以由政府提供统一设计方案;但是要是符合一定抗震等级,材料费用肯定增加,说不
定还需要有资质的建筑工人,这样一来成本肯定提高了;
地震多发带,普遍穷,国家可以补贴一点来搞这个政策;
至于公共建筑,肯定要国家垫付一部分,靠当地财政,恐怕够呛;
