Executive Summary | The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, Japan, earthquake is obviously the first M9 earthquake which was recorded by dense strong motion networks. The occurrence of the earthquake enabled us to analyze real strong ground motions due to a M9 earthquake for the first time in the history. Before the occurrence of the earthquake, one of the authors proposed the following for the evaluation of strong ground motions due to a large subduction earthquake (Nozu, 2010): |
