Immediately north of previous photograph, the fault rupture passes adjacent
to this transmission tower (N 23.8351 E 120.7100). Tower number is 057.
Drainage channel near transmission tower was offset by the fault (N
23.8351 E 120.7100). Approximately 2 m vertical displacement was measured.
Tower 057 visible in background.

View of creek adjacent to Tower 057 (N 23.8351 E 120.7100). Liquefaction
in the creek produced a large sediment boil (next photo).

Close to the bridge the railway track buckled due to compression and
failed at the rail joints (N 23.8351 E 120.7100).
The rail slid on its track about 25 cm at this location (N 23.8351
E 120.7100).

The retaining wall was compressed about 2.1 m due to the fault surface
rupture (N 23.8351 E 120.7100).
Failed retaining wall between gas station and bridge abutment, on Highway
152 between Mingjian and JiJi (N 23.8357 E 120.7260). A creek is located
at the base of the wall.

Settlement of abutment adjacent to bridge along Highway 152, between
Mingjian and Jiji (N 23.8288 E 120.7515). Measured settlement was 1.04
m. Some of the settlement can be attributed to outward movement of the
abutment wall.

Soft story failure of building in Jiji (N 23.8314 E 120.7936). Many
buildings in Jiji experienced this type of failure. No significant settlement
of building foundations was observed driving through the town.

Head scarp of slide at Jungliau Power Station (N 23.8927 E120.7690).
Much of the power shortages in Taiwan were traced to the damage at this
switchyard. Displacements across cracks near the scarp were about 0.6 m
(V) and 0.15-0.3 m (H).
Deformation across slide boundary at Jungliau Power Station (N 23.8927
E120.7690). Photographer is standing on slide. Horizontal movement at this
location was estimated to be about 1 m.

(N 23.8927 E120.7690).
Fault rupture through small temple in Jushan (N 23.7680 E 120.7092).
Fortuitously, two independent buildings were connected above the fault,
so the surface rupture did not cause a collapse. Vertical offset at this
location was about 1 m.

causing collapse of canopy (N 23.7754 E 120.7097).
