Wang, Min-Hao Wu] Engineering risk assessment is to estimate the structure's failure probability multiplied by its failure consequences. On the other hand, the analysis was sometimes performed on a more general basis, utilizing a few indicators to quantify relative risk levels for decision-making. On the basis of such a framework, this paper introduces a novel risk assessment on 18 active faults in Taiwan, considering the fault's location, earthquake size and return period from the literature. The result shows that the Chelungpu Fault in central Taiwan has the highest risk score among the 18 active faults, in contrast to the Hengchun Fault in southern Taiwan which has the lowest risk. Besides this, the 18 active faults in Taiwan were classified into four groups based on this risk assessment, and the classification could help the region's sustainable development against earthquake hazard.
