In 1998 we installed five creepmeters across the Chihshang Fault, the active plate suture in eastern Taiwan. Daily creepmeter data indicated decreasing creeping rate from 1999 to 2003, suggesting increasing seismic hazard. The fault was ruptured by the Chengkung earthquake (Mw=6.6) on 10 December 2003. Through extrapolation of our earlier creep data of 1986–1991 and 1992–1997, we evaluate the minimum...
Le seisme destructeur de Chichi, survenu le 21 septembre 1999 a Taiwan, est exceptionnel, tant par la prise de conscience accrue du risque seismique qu'il a induite dans l'le que par le renouvellement des conceptions seismotectoniques et geodynamiques sur la collision de Taiwan qu'il a entrane. Ce seisme, representatif de la convergence SE-NW des plaques, a reactive une rampe chevauchante au front...
