At 7:58 on April 3, 2024, an MS7.3 earthquake occurred (23.81°N, 121.74°E) in the waters of Hualien County, Taiwan, China, which was characterized as a thrust rupture. This earthquake is the largest earthquake since the “9·21” Chi-Chi earthquake. To comprehensively understand the characteristics and disaster effects of the earthquake and learn from the experience and lessons of the earthquake disaster, the cause of the earthquake is explained in combination with the mechanism of earthquake generation. Then, 714 strong ground motions recorded by 238 stations of the Earthquake Network Center of the Meteorological Bureau of Taiwan within 32 km of the fault are selected to analyze the engineering characteristics of these ground motions. Based on disaster investigation data, the relation between the earthquake and the structural damage of civil engineering as well as the distribution pattern of earthquake damage are discussed. The results show that ground motions of this earthquake have the characteristics of significant middle-to-high frequency contents with slow attenuation of PGA and Sa over rupture distance, causing the damage to medium-to-short period structures. The distribution of earthquake damage is concentrated in Hualien County, New Taipei City and Taipei City, and along the east side of the crustal butt belt of Taitung longitudinal Valley, the distribution is linear with the development of the fault zone. Hualien County is the most serious earthquake damage due to its proximity to the focal point, while New Taipei City and Taipei City are far away from the focal point, but the earthquake damage is also more serious due to the mountain amplification effect and basin amplification effect of ground motions. The relevant study can provide reference for the research of seismic fortification and seismic regionalization of medium-to-short period structures.
