This is the preliminary report on the damage of concrete structures
due to the 921 Taiwan Earthquake (Ji Ji Earthquake). Right after
the earthquake on 21st September 1999, the Concrete Committee
of JSCE decided to send the investigation team under the leadership
of Prof. A. Machida to Taiwan. The team left Tokyo on 30th September
and had two full days of investigation in Taichung and Nantou
counties. During the investigation the team received great help
from Prof J.C. Chern and Dr Y.W. Chan, without whom this report
could not have been made. The authors would like to express their
sincere gratitude to both professors as well as to the JSCE Concrete
Committee. Since this is just the preliminary report, the authors
welcome any comments or opinions on this report.
