Can we propose newer seismic provisions for designing a building along a faultline of tectonic plates? Is it possible to safeguard the occupants of such earthquake occured recently in Turkey of magnitude 7.8 richter?
In Google Scholar and Google do a search using the words safeguard, retrofit, fault-lines and 7 richter for homes and commercial building design. Add specific areas that you know to sit on or near fault-lines. I'm in the US. The entire south west coast sits on fault-line. Look for building standards for the city of San Francisco, in the state of California. They continue build and rebuild the city due to severe earthquakes using the latest building ideas.
These three links will offer ideas;---- AIA article; “As earthquake frequency increases, architects stress the need to strengthen codes and preparedness measures”.
