Symposium on “Future of post-disaster assessment for buildings”Hosted by National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and Building Research Institute (BRI)

 

         
Post-earthquake quick inspection of damaged buildings aims to prevent secondary disasters by inspecting the buildings hit by large earthquakes and evaluating the risks including building collapse, fall of exterior walls and window glass and the overturn of building equipment that may be caused by aftershocks. In the symposium, presentation will be made on the lessons from the past disasters and relevant R&D both within and outside Japan, and issues on future of post-disaster assessment for buildings will be explored.
