Basic Earthquake Engineering Education Material in NCREE and Inauguration of Earthquake Museum of Taiwan

Taiwan is located at the seismic zone surrounding the Pacific Ocean, thus, the occurrence of earthquakes is inevitable. To enhance the knowledge on seismic resistance and disaster prevention of the public, the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering(NCREE) has agreed to promote seismic engineering education as one of their five development goals. In the past two years of its construction, NCREE has been assisting Taiwan Earthquake Museum Park in planning of the content of “Earthquake Engineering Education Building.” The following sections introduce the development content in the museum by NCREE.
