Every large earthquake teaches mankind something that was not considered or known. Therefore, such earthquakes must be carefully investigated and outcomes must put on the records so that the lessons learned from these earthquakes can serve for better and safe living of the mankind. The investigation by the earthquake engineering sub-committee of The Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) has been undertaken between March 16 and 24, 2001 for such purpose. The investigation on the 2001 West India earthquake covered various aspects of the earthquake. Specifically, the geology, tectonics and seismicity of the earthquake region, characteristics of strong motion records, damage to buildings, infra structures, geotechnical structures and lifelines have been investigated in detail and the outcomes of this investigation are presented and discussed in this report.
