Effects of Topography and Basin on Seismic Wave Propagation in the Taipei Metropolitan Area

Shiann-Jong Lee

 (Postdoctoral Fellow, Institute of Earth Sciences)

Taipei city in Taiwan is one of the most densely populated metropolitan areas situated on top of a shallow sedimentary basin. Over the past twenty years, seismic disasters in the Taipei metropolitan area, particularly the 21 September 1999 Chi-Chi (MW 7.6) and 31 March 2002 east coast (MW 7.0) earthquakes, have caused significant damage with considerable casualties. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that moderate earthquakes near the basin also have the potential to cause strong ground shaking throughout the city.
