Is it possible to make the fault resistant and prevent it from breaking?
There are different ways to prevent the vibration of faults. According to most geologists, the thing that causes the fault to rupture and the strong value of the fault and the energy to leave the earthquake center from the fault and the L or Law waves from the Earth's cycle is the pressure over the fault over millions of years. And most importantly, the infiltration of water, moisture, and cold into the faults occurs mostly in the cold season of the year, such as autumn, winter, and spring, as well as in the early morning and at night. and cause the energy inside them to be released, and check this over the time series of earthquakes over several years, we understand the cause of cold and water penetration into the faults, especially at night and early in the morning when the weather gets colder, this rupture There are more faults in the early morning and most of the earthquakes happen in the early morning and from 4 am to 6 am or from 9 pm to 2 am. Easier to underground and faults. And now geologists have realized that humans themselves can create earthquakes, that is, artificial earthquakes through 3 or 4 methods. For example, in the faults and in the parts where there are displacements and displacements in the folded layers of the earth, by digging Amin wells and injecting water pressure into these wells, they penetrate into the layers inside the faults and cause the release of earth's energy and rupture. A fault was created and the center of the artificial earthquake was created, so that it did not shake too much and stopped it from constantly shaking. By filling it with reinforced concrete, it becomes like nails in the ground, which can prevent the faults from breaking, because it is also mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. that mountains are like nails in the earth because mountains prevent the earth from shaking and we humans can create artificial nails in the earth and prevent faults from forming and it is not only nature that has nails like mountains, humans themselves Costs can cause a fault with these nails and tighten them and prevent them from constantly shaking. Of course, this experiment was done by geologists in the Texas region of the United States in 1946 in the Texas region of the United States, when the oil well was at a low depth and they had to dig a well next to the oil well to inject water or a solution of water and salt. cause the well oil to rise; after a while they saw; An earthquake occurred in the Texas region of America for a week, and then geologists realized that the injection of salt and water solution in the anticline region of the region, where there was also a fault, caused the rupture of the faults and caused an artificial earthquake in the region and the release of energy, and this earthquake It shows that humans can also cause earthquakes. Of course, earthquakes can be caused by other methods, one is like exploding a bomb on a fault. Like the bomb explosion in Mallard Karaj area in Alborz province in 1377 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Tahar, 5 provinces that were on the Mesha fault shook and everyone felt it because with the explosion of this bomb which was for testing in the military area, it suddenly exploded and took responsibility They were killed and injured, but because it was on the Mesha fault, and this fault starts about 400 kilometers from Abik Qazvin and continues to the north of Semnan, it caused the fault to vibrate and release energy, and maybe there are other ways of fault rupture, for example, using There are many dams in the area of faults and folds of the earth where there are dips and anticlines. Because the dams intensify the infiltration of water into the earth. Of course, other methods have also been proposed, such as using waste and sewage, which causes more environmental destruction, because burying waste and sewage at fault sites, even though it has water, leads to more environmental destruction on the ground. Therefore, the fault can be broken and strong concrete and cement can be created in it and sewn. But all this is a theory, no country has done this yet and it is only a theory.
If I am not wrong, your concern is seismic energy release due to a fault breaking. It this context it is not practically possible to make a geological fault completely resistant to breaking or to entirely prevent seismic energy release. The forces involved in tectonic plate movements are immense and operate on a global scale, making it unfeasible to stop fault movement altogether.
However, there are some strategies that can potentially influence fault behavior and reduce the risk of large, sudden seismic energy releases:

The short practical answer is unfortunately and most probably No. As no fault characteristics, geometry, and many other crucial parameters are known enough all along the fault and its environment in depth to garantie the success of such approach. Natural unpredictable events can not be phased out but with science and technologies, disaster’s consequences can hopefully be lowered or minimized.
