The September 21, 1999 Jiji earthquake shook all of Taiwan and caused massive damage, and many other catastrophic have occurred around the world during the past decade. Members of the public must make sure that their homes will be safe in the event of an earthquake, and should know how to buy an earthquake-resistant home. In order to respond to the public's need for knowledge and enhance disaster prevention awareness, the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering(NCREE) recently compiled a popular science handbook on earthquake engineering entitled 'Building a Safe Homeland—Introduction to Earthquake Engineering.' This book has won widespread praise since it was first published in September 2009. This work results report provides an introduction to the handbook's key content items. |
