The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake is one of the most deadly and destructive natural disasters in history. The event had strong ground shaking lasting four minutes, hundreds of aftershocks, thousands of landslides, liquefaction, a tsunami and fires lasting days after the earthquake, and claimed nearly 142,000 lives.

It arrived at 11:58:44 am, on September 1, 1923, just as citizens of Tokyo and Yokohama were preparing to take their noon meal. The strong shaking lasted four minutes, but the earthquake and its aftermath had a lasting impact on Japan. With over 800 aftershocks, thousands of landslides and days of fire, nearly 142,000 people perished in the Great Tokyo earthquake and fire.

Join the PEER Student Committee for an engaging session with Caltrans to learn from their exciting work and explore diverse career paths in Structural Engineering.
PEER has continuing funding from the State of California related to the seismic performance of transportation systems. This funding supports the Transportation Systems Research Program (TSRP), the purpose of which is to lessen the impacts of earthquakes on the transportation systems of California, including highways and bridges, port facilities, high-speed rail, airports, and other related structures.
