The intermediate and long period ground motions are especially sensitive to the basin effects. The most recent set of attenuation equations, the Next Generation of Attenuation (NGA), have recognized the basin effects and devised parameters to account for such effects. However, the basin formulation in the NGA equations does not capture the special complexity of any individual conditions. The particular detail of how a basin affects ground motions can have dramatic effects on ground motions and therefore on the damage potential of earthquakes. In view of this, we have conducted a study on the Taipei basin and its effects on earthquake losses in Taipei region. We used the available detail information on Taipei basin response to ground motions to estimate the damage and loss potential of earthquakes. 000011598 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000011598 653__ $$aTaiwan earthquake, basin effects, strong ground motions, loss estimation, seismic hazard. 000011598 7112_ $$a14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cBejing (CN)$$d2008-10-12 / 2008-10-17$$gWCEE15 000011598 720__ $$aShabestari, Khosrow T.$$iMahdyiar, Mehrdad$$iGuin, Jayanta 000011598 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000011598 8564_ $$s237060$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/11598/files/03-03-0034.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, Paper ID: 03-03-0034. 000011598 962__ $$r9324 000011598 980__ $$aPAPER
