Strong Motion Instrumentation Programs in Taiwan
Past and Present
Abstract Earthquakes occur frequently in Taiwan. A modern seismological program was initiated there in early 1970’s, with strong motion instrumentation as an integral component. We present here an overview of the strong motion networks and arrays deployed in past thirty years by two major operators, the Institute of Earth Sciences of Academia Sinica and the Seismology Center of Central Weather Bureau. The strong motion networks and arrays deployed by the former include SMA1 network, SMART1 array, LLSST array, SMART2 array, HLLST array, CMSMA network, and Taipei basin downhole array. The strong motion networks deployed by the latter include TSMIP networks that include free-field stations, structural arrays, the RTD network, and Taiwan railroad system. These dense networks and special arrays have recorded large quantity of valuable data that greatly accelerated development of seismology in Taiwan. We also highlight some examples of data applications, including studies of ground motion attenuation by the TSMIP free-field data, of nonlinear soil amplification effects by the LLSST downhole array data, of permanent changes in structural response of a damaged building due to the Chi-Chi earthquake by the TSMIP structural array data, and of the Chelungpu fault rupture propagation by the SMART2 data.
