Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) There are more than 50 dislocations in the whole national wide of Taiwan. Recently, Taiwan Government introduce Earthquake-Resistant Building Regulations, which designate all areas of Taiwan by 4 Earthquake Zones. However, "Taiwan Earthquake 2000.09.21"(Magnitude Ms7.3, Depth 1.0km) caused major disasters not only at the middle of Taiwan but also some distance places which are more than 160km far from the Earthquake Central Area. In this report, the propagation mechanism of the earthquake waves is discussed. The analysis shows that there are not small possibilities that strong earthquake wave can reach to a long distant place in different paths by surface waves and reflecting effects from multi-layer dislocations.
