National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering

NCREE is aiming to improve seismic resistant designs for all constructions and to provide feedback to the engineering community through research and development.

The Reaction Wall and Strong floor make it possible to test multiple full-scale structural experiments.

Hydraulic actuators then exert forces on the test objects, making it possible to see the resistance of various structures and performances of seismic isolators and energy dissipaters.

The experimental data has helped proved that seismic theories can be applied, and are a reference to earthquake resistant building designs.

Earthquake Scenario Studies - Establishment and application of geotechnical earth science hazard database.

To educate people about earthquakes, there are published books, printed reports, international seminars and videos.

IDEERS stands for "Introducing and Demonstrating Earthquake Engineering Research in Schools" and is held every year by the British council in Taipei, NCREE and the Bristol University.

It is a science-based project with a competition developed by the Earthquake Engineering Research Centre of the Bristol University.

Students entering the competition will make their models using cheap materials which then will be put on the tri-axial seismic simulator (shaking-table).

ITP stands for The International Training Program (for Seismic Design of Structures and Hazard Mitigation) and is held by The National Science Council (NSC) and the Democratic Pacific Union.

The Program will try to improve the disaster-preventing technology and the earthquake-resisting ability of those countries and try reduce the impacts and losses caused by major earthquakes.
