Many cranes were damaged in the Kobe docks in the January 1995 earthquake. In particular, repeated impact marks on the concrete pavement of the wharf indicated that one crane rocked on its wheels, at the same time as the earthquake shaking and the pressure of liquefied backfill was pushing out the sea wall caissons and attached front rail. Analysis of the crane motion was performed to provide a time scale for dock movement, and in addition supplied interesting information on the crane's response. |
