Summary:
Reference M6.4, very small in this region, but location makes the difference. In general, nobody builds better than Taiwan, but this has spaghetti rebar, and weak concrete. We'll have to see what the strong motion was, especially the PGV. They know how to record strong motion, unlike anybody else. For this type of damage, we need a PGV over 1 m/s and this building is on soft soil. WeContent analysis:
