Abstract

Typical damages to reinforced concrete buildings, both by the ground motions and the tsunami waves, are outlined in this section. The report herein is based primarily on the field survey of the AIJ members and collected through the members of the Reinforced Concrete Steering Committee of AIJ. The typical damages to reinforced concrete buildings are described below through the reports on the buildings selected and available for detailed survey. The damage reports below are translated selectively from the Chap. 6, Sect. 6.2 of AIJ report in Japanese version, which contains more photos and figures, especially on the structural plans as well as the damage rate evaluation of members. The reports on the buildings below are arranged as from the Japanese version: (1) school buildings located from north to south (Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and Kanto areas), (2) government offices, (3) residential buildings.
