耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)

たいしんせっけい
noun
earthquake-resistant design; seismic design
1. earthquake-resistant design; seismic design
The design of buildings and structures to withstand earthquake forces, a critical aspect of construction in earthquake-prone Japan.
この建物(たてもの)は耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)だ。
This building has earthquake-resistant design.
新(あたら)しいマンションは最新(さいしん)の耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)を採用(さいよう)している。
The new apartment building uses the latest seismic design.
日本(にほん)では大(おお)きな地震(じしん)が多(おお)いため、耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)の基準(きじゅん)が世界(せかい)でも特(とく)に厳(きび)しい。
Because Japan experiences many large earthquakes, its seismic design standards are among the strictest in the world.

Compound of 耐震(たいしん) (earthquake resistance) and 設計(せっけい) (design; engineering). A fundamental concept in Japanese architecture and construction, especially after major earthquakes like the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji and 2011 Tohoku disasters prompted stricter building codes.

COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

  • 耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)の基準(きじゅん): seismic design standards
  • 耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)を採用(さいよう)する: to adopt seismic design
  • 耐震設計(たいしんせっけい)の建物(たてもの): earthquake-resistant building
  • 最新(さいしん)の耐震設計(たいしんせっけい): state-of-the-art seismic design

RELATED TERMS:

  • 耐震(たいしん): earthquake resistance (the broader concept)
  • 免震(めんしん): seismic isolation (absorbs vibration rather than resisting it)
  • 制震(せいしん): vibration damping (reduces shaking with dampers)
  • 耐震補強(たいしんほきょう): seismic retrofitting
