In the Ogura location, however, field evidence and seismic data indicate that the liquefaction induced by the 1995 Southern Hyogo Prefecture earthquake formed during 3 s to 4 s after the main shock, mainly by the vertical vibration of P-waves rather than the horizontal vibration of S-waves; we define this as instantaneous-shaking liquefaction. Liquefaction & Ports: Kobe Port and waterfront facilities in Kobe, Japan, suffered extensive damage due to liquefaction during the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Geotechnical Engineering ... Open PDF. 109-116. 1995 Kobe earthquake, Japan The 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake (M=6.9), commonly referred to as the Kobe earthquake, was one of the most devastating earthquakes ever to hit Japan; more than 5,500 were killed and over 26,000 injured. World's Deadliest Disasters Seconds From Disaster Kobe Earthquake 2016.
The popular heavy, tiled roofs and wood framed houses in Japan at the time broke under the sheer forces caused by ground shaking while the heavier built, concrete buildings remained intact. Nevertheless, liquefaction has been so widespread in a number of recent earthquakes that it is often associated with them.

Statistics Edit. Widespread liquefaction occurred in Kobe, Japan, during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. The problem was pervasive because the majority of the waterfront facilities were reclaimed lands consisting of loose to medium-dense cohesionless fills.

The Kobe earthquake, also referred to as the Great Hanshin earthquake, was a 7.3-magnitude earthquake that rocked the Hyōgo Prefecture of Japan on the dawn of January 17, 1995. The Kobe earthquake, which shook the island nation of Japan on 17th January, 1995, is considered to be the second most disastrous earthquake that the country witnessed in the 20th century.

Haruki Murakami's short fiction collection After the Quake depicts the consequences of the Kobe earthquake of 1995.
Such was its intensity that even the sensors on the other side of the world picked it. Time of Event: 5:46:58a.m. The earthquake hit at 5:46 am on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 1995, in the southern part of Hyōgo
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Geotechnical Engineering. Buildings and facilities were destroyed by the Kobe Earthquake due to the fact that they were built poorly in regard to shear and liquefaction resistance. Alaska, USA, 1964: Niigata, Japan, 1964: Loma Prieta, USA, 1989: Kobe, Japan, 1995 | ISSN 1353-2618 | E-ISSN 1751-8563. Volume 131 Issue 1, JANUARY 1998, pp. Kōbe earthquake of 1995, (Jan. 17, 1995) large-scale earthquake in the Ōsaka-Kōbe (Hanshin) metropolitan area of western Japan that was among the strongest, deadliest, and costliest to ever strike that country. At the reclaimed Port Island in Kobe, the observed large-scale liquefaction was documented by acceleration records from a downhole seismic array.
