Abstract
This paper presents a review of the Taiwanese building codes and their relevance to the performance of tall buildings during the 21 September 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. The 1982 edition of the Taiwanese code as supplemented in 1991 is discussed in more detail, since very few of the buildings subjected to this earthquake were designed in accordance with the more recent 1997 edition of the code. The recommended design lateral forces and procedures in Taiwanese codes appear to be similar to, and sometimes more conservative than, their United States counterparts. However, the construction practice as observed in our evaluation of damaged buildings exhibited a general disregard for the long-established seismic design and detailing principles. It seems that lack of construction supervision and inspection as well as adverse utilization of some loop-holes in the building code significantly contributed to the poor design and construction practice that resulted in some of the most extraordinary tall building failures ever observed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
