Located on one of the most active seismic regions in the world, Taiwan suffers from frequent earthquakes caused by the Circum Pacific Seismic Belt. In fact, about twenty significantly strong earthquakes have been recorded in the history of Taiwan. To compensate for this, earthquake hazard needs to be taken into account in all civil engineering constructions to ensure sufficient resistance against the shakes. With the joint effort from the Taiwan National Science Council (NSC) and the National Taiwan University (NTU), the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) is established in 1990. Since then, this institution has worked endlessly to upgrade seismic resistant design standards for all constructions and provides feedback to the engineering community through research and development.
