In Taiwan, most of the research fields do not have the fundamental research processes, and almost all of the fundamental data come from the foreign countries. Most Taiwanese scholars may suggest the postgraduates going abroad to read for their Ph.D., but actually they can do their research from the fundamental topics to establish the whole framework. If the Taiwanese scholars can change their thinking logic, Taiwan can build many powerful research fields in the world.
In structural reliability, most fundamental data cannot be found in the Taiwanese libraries, but actually these books can be found in the foreign libraries. Besides, the overall processes cannot be understood by these books, and the students may need to get more books to learn the whole processes. In the Taiwanese libraries, all of the books are the most famous books, but many fundamental research data cannot be found in the libraries.
Actually, most of the fundamental data can be found in the journal papers, but most students do not know how to collect these journal papers. Is it valuable to go abroad? Of course, it is very easy to find these fundamental data, including the relative books. What's the fundamental data? In structural reliability, the fundamental data are the statistical data, structural loads and its combinations, development of the engineering reliability code, engineering practice and application, …, and so on.
