Description
Coping
with
earthquake
hazard
,
use
of
wood
in
structures
,
Morioka
.
--
Wooden
structures
are
more
flexible
than
rigid
ones
built
of
brick
,
adobe
or
concrete
, and are
better
able
to "
give
" and
thus
survive
ground
movement
and
vibration
associated
with
earthquakes
. The
Japanese
probably
learned
this
through
experience
long
ago
, and
along
with the
availability
of
timber
in
Japan
, this has
led
to
widespread
use
of
wood
for
constructing
even
large
buildings
. This
is
not
without
hazard
,
however
,
because
fire
is
a
common
result
of
damaging
earthquakes
.
