Abstract
The Fukuoka Seihouoki Earthquake, magnitude 7.0, occurred at 10:53 A.M. on March 20th 2005. Its hypocenter lay 9km beneath the about 40km northwest offing of Fukuoka. In Fukuoka, it recorded seismic intensity a little less than 6 at the maximum. Severe structural damage was primarily observed in old RC structures. New RC structures were damaged to non-structures such as windows and faced walls. In reclaimed land such as Hakata port wharf, the damage by liquefaction was seen. This report investigates the damage situation for RC structures and Hakata port in Fukuoka.
