The Meiji Emperor’s regime, after the 1968 restoration, made efforts to strengthen military power and to develop industry through promotion of science and technology. The Meiji government invited “young” western and U. S. engineers and researchers to train native students from 1873. Engineering faculty was included in the Imperial University in 1886, and visiting western professors were gradually replaced by Japanese. A huge intra-plate Nohbi Earthquake (M 7.9) hit Nagoya areas in 1891, and Earthquake Investigation Committee was set up in 1892 to promote the study on seismology and earthquake engineering. The 1923 Kanto Earthquake caused significant damage in Tokyo and Yokohama. Seismic design of buildings was introduced in the Urban Building Law in 1924, requiring design seismic forces equal to 10 percent of the floor weight.
