Abstract

About 50-year direct observation indicated that any civil structure founded in/on rock do not get damage from earthquakes without tsunami effect. The main reason behind this is that the modulus of elasticity of saturated rocks is million times greater than that of saturated soil units. Furthermore, all saturated soil units are susceptible to liquefaction at varying degrees. Based on the past observations, none of the structures founded in/on rocky ground, has been affected from the recent destructive earthquakes studied by the authors in/and abroad. The studied earthquake cases highlighted again that the civil structures in/on rocky grounds, even adjacent to the epicenter, have not been affected from shaking of destructive earthquakes. In Turkey, the land needed for housing is one hundredth of the country. However, 57% is proper for housing. The remaining 43% consists mainly of forest, restricted zones, rugged terrains, and soil land which bears essentially plains and very locally landslides. Thus, earthquake disasters could be alleviated by implementing practical land use planning.

地震(EQ)巨灾的实用有效解决方案

近50年的直接观测表明，在没有海啸影响的情况下，任何建在岩石上的土木结构都不会受到地震的破坏。其主要原因是饱和岩石的弹性模量比饱和土单元的弹性模量大百万倍。此外，所有饱和土单元都有不同程度的液化易感性。根据过去的观察，在岩石地面上建立的结构，没有受到最近笔者研究的国内外破坏性地震的影响。所研究的地震案例再次强调，即使靠近震中，岩石地面上的民用建筑也不会受到破坏性地震的影响。在土耳其，住房用地占国土面积的百分之一。然而，57%是适合住房的。剩下的43%主要由森林、禁区、崎岖的地形和土壤组成，这些土壤基本上是平原和非常局部的滑坡。因此，通过实施切实可行的土地利用规划，可以减轻地震灾害。
