Abstract
A summary review of the Japan Sea (Nipponkai‐chubu) earthquake of 1983 is presented. Damage to civil and building structures is explained in brief. Owing to the spread of earthquake‐proof design, damage sustained was very slight for a M = 7.7 earthquake, except to those built on liquefied ground. Our next target in earthquake engineering may be to protect and maintain the functions of city‐facilities against strong shaking so that citizens might not experience much disruption in their daily lives after big earthquakes.
