ˇˇPREFACE

Immediately after the earthquake, Building Research Institute dispatched a lot of staff to Rapid Safety Judgement of damaged buildings to prevent them from collapsing due to aftershocks, and also collaborated damage surveys and related studies at stages of reconstruction of damaged areas, as a duty of national research institute. BRI published some survey reports on 1995 Hyougoken-Nanbu Earthquake. BRI also has been carrying out repair and retrofit studies of damaged buildings.
BRI presents a list of BRI publications and a list of research papers by BRI staff on 1995 Hyougoken-Nanbu Earthquake on the following pages.

BRI is going to revise and extend this World Wide Web page on Internet in very near future, and BRI needs your strong supports, as follows:

BRI is in charge of buildings and urban physical planning. BRI is asking your favor of sending the related papers and reports of you and your affiliations to BRI.
