		The Taipei basin, located in northwest Taiwan about 160 km from the epicenter of the Chi-Chi earthquake, is a shallow, triangular-shaped basin filled with low-velocity fluvial deposits.
		In this article, the ground-motion recordings are analyzed to determine the effect of the basin both in terms of amplifications expected from a 1D model of the sediments in the basin and in terms of the 3D structure of the basin.
		Record sections of ground motion from stations in and around the Taipei basin show that the largest long-period arrival, which is coherent across the region, is strongest on the vertical component and has a period of about 10–12 sec.

	Planet Ark - Taipei Sees More Quakes after Skyscraper - Geologist
		TAIPEI - Seismic activity in Taipei has increased since the world's tallest building, Taipei 101, was built, raising questions over whether the Taiwan capital has become more vulnerable to earthquakes, a geologist said on Friday.
		Taipei 101 spokesman Michael Liu said while he respected the academic's views, the 101-storey building was a government-endorsed project that had met environmental and geological standards set by the Taiwan government.
		Lin said Taipei 101 weighed 700,000 tonnes and estimated stress from vertical loading on its foundation at 4.7 bars, of which some would be transferred to the earth's upper crust due to extremely soft sedimentary rocks beneath the Taipei basin.

	Harvard Studies on Taiwan Vol. 3: Joseph R. Allen
		One way to isolate the special character of Taipei City is to view the chronological changes of certain urban and suburban structures and to consider the legacy of those changes in the contemporary city landscape.
		Since Chinese settlement in the Taipei Basin had only begun in the early eighteenth century, the population and settlement pattern around the capital area was relatively sparse; this is especially true when compared to southern Taiwan, and even more so when compared to almost any other part of southern China at this time.
		This Taipei city type not only differs from any other urban designs on the island and in southern China, which are either the market town or hybrid type (Chiang 20), it also differs from most other walled towns on the Chinese mainland during the late imperial period.

	LATE QUATERNARY EUSTATIC AND CLIMATIC RECORDS OF THE TAIPEI ESTUARY, TAIWAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Taipei Basin is a filled estuary that accumulated up to 350-m-thick siliciclastic sediment in the past 200 ky. Near the depocenter in the northwest Taipei Basin, the sediment comprises two unconformity-bounded sequences, each of which consists of an aggradational alluvial fan gravel, a retrogradational fluvio-estuarine sand/mud and a progradational fluvial sand/mud.
		During the sea level rise, the Basin was inundated as an estuary and filled with retrogradational fluvial and estuarine sediments.
		In view of the Taipei Basin stratigraphy, pre-Holocene deposits tend to be strewn with hiatuses even in rapidly subsiding estuaries, and the sediment record is inevitably biased toward cold stages and lowstands.

		The aims of this research are to depict the distributions and sources of the lahar deposits, the relationship between the lahar deposits and the Taipei basin and to infer the formation age of the Taipei Basin.
		From the occurrences and block compositions, the lahar deposits in Taipei basin may be derived from volcanic debris flows, which occurred probably after a heavy rainfall following a large eruption deposited huge amounts of loose volcaniclasts in volcanic slope.
		The occurrence of varve, directly overlain on the second lahar deposits indicates that the Taipei Basin had been a barrier lake due to the passage of the Paleo-Tanshui River was dammed by lahar deposits.
