MRP ENGINEERING IN JAPAN FOLLOWING M9.0 EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI
EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE IN NORTHEAST JAPAN
On March 11, 2011, a M9.0 earthquake occurred along subduction zone off the east coast of Japan. The strong shaking lasted over three minutes. The tsunami that followed overtopped sea walls and devastated low-lying coastal areas. MRP Engineering was part of the Structural Engineers Association of Washington (SEAW) reconnaissance team that traveled to Japan to observe the earthquake and tsunami impacts.
