The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on January 17, 1995, at 05:46:53 JST (January 16 at 20:46:53 UTC) in the southern part of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, including the region known as Hanshin. It measured 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum intensity of 7 on the JMA Seismic Intensity Scale (XI–XII on the Modified Mercalli ...
Research comparing the old JMA seismic intensity scale (using sensory data from the 1968 Tokachi earthquake to the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, including experimental instrumental data in the 1990s) and the instrumental seismic intensities calculated based on the current methods has been conducted. According to this research, for intensities ...

Take the Toji temple’s 180-foot (55-meter) tall pagoda, constructed in the 17th century near Kyoto — it famously emerged intact from the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, also known as the Kobe ...
The 3-D Full-Scale Earthquake Testing Facility [1] or E-Defense (Japanese: E-ディフェンス) is an earthquake shaking table facility in Miki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. [2] Operated by the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), [ 3 ] it was the largest 3D earthquake shake table in the world ...
Japan’s Meteorological Agency warns major quakes could hit the area over the next week
In 2016, Japanese geologists at the Riken Advanced Institute for Computational Science used the seismic waves recorded at Takatori station during the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995 to analyze the seismic response of a reinforced concrete pier. [1]
The Great Hanshin Earthquake on 17 January 1995 killed 6,434 people and destroyed over 100,000 buildings. The earthquake caused the greatest amount of damage and loss of life in Japan since the end of World War II. [1] It also brought to light a number of problems in the national earthquake disaster prevention measures at the time. [2] [3]
