Dear Director of the Institute of Geology, prof. Zohar Gvirtsman. I am a Master of Geophysics. Consultant on the short-term forecast method. I inform you that despite the widespread use of the EEWS and TRUAA methods, these methods were applied without knowledge of geophysics and the stages of earthquake development, without knowledge of the time standards necessary to save human lives, especially the lives of children in children's institutions. This method can only be used by a person who is ready to lead the country to great sacrifices. Only the immediate implementation of short-term earthquake forecasting can save the lives of our children. I demand an immediate consideration of this issue in the presence of the prosecutor's office and the academic council. I urge you to consider the desire and possibility of creating a laboratory for short-term earthquake forecasting in Israel. There is an urgent need to establish a short-term earthquake forecasting network. I am willing to work under contract as a consultant using my method. If my methodology is not implemented, Israel may suffer significant losses. Methods that simply notify people after the earthquake has started are effective in cases of tsunamis and other related disasters. However, for earthquakes, especially in epicentral zones, only an accurate short-term forecast can save lives. I am the only expert in this method. I am ready to demonstrate the conclusions of the best scientists in the world. Time is running out. Earthquakes can start in winter, and the casualties can exceed those caused by war. Sincerely, Alexander Yagodin Master of Geophysics. predict.y@gmail.com

  • How do you combine dynamics and elasticity?
  • How do you transform the ground from a passive to an active part of the load-bearing system to absorb seismic stresses?
  • How do you eliminate 100% of the moments at the joints?
  • How do you increase the dynamic response of cross-sections to seismic loads without increasing the mass or the quality of the materials?
  • How do you construct self-centering structures?
  • How do the displacements of a structure neutralize themselves?
  • How do you design walls to withstand 70% of the compressive force from prestressing without risking failure due to compression during an earthquake?
Relevant answer
Answer
The overturning moment and the bending moment topple the house during an earthquake. The overturning moment is counteracted by anchoring the wall to the ground (this is what I do). The bending moment is counteracted through prestressing (this is also what I do). Currently, neither anchoring to the ground nor prestressing is applied, resulting in both the overturning and bending moments being transferred to the beams, causing them to fail. Through prestressing and anchoring, I transfer the overturning and bending moments into the ground, preventing damage to the beams.

Simply put. A reinforced concrete structure consists of vertical parts ( columns, walls, large walls, shafts ) and horizontal parts ( beams and slabs ) connected at the nodes.
In an earthquake the inertia of the slab and beams creates a lateral force which pushes the walls and columns
The walls and columns resist this lateral force which tries to overturn them on one side and bend them on the other.
Their reaction to bending is due to their connection to the beams at the nodes to prevent them from overturning and to the reaction of their trunk to prevent them from bending.
So the dynamics of the walls and columns are due to the strength of their cross-section and the strength of the beams.
Walls and columns primarily have a tendency to overturn but they are held by the beams and then the trunk starts to bend.
The bending moment and the overturning moment of the walls create moments at the nodes which deform the beam trunk and break it.
Here we see that the reaction of the structure to the earthquake comes from the wall and beam cross sections around the nodes.
In large earthquakes this reaction is not enough and the cross sections usually of the beams break.
Another failure can come from wall buckling and from inadequate strength of the materials.
So then we have a big problem because the walls are failing. If the beams fail, the house doesn't fall because the reinforcement holds it together.
But if the walls fail and even if the crack is oblique the house will collapse.
This is why civil engineers build weaker beams so that they break first and energy is dissipated.
And I come up with the following suggestion.
In order for a structure not to collapse in an earthquake, it must
1.Increase the strength of the cross-sections without increasing the mass.
2.Stop the bending of the walls which breaks them and transfers moments to the nodes and also breaks the beams
3.Stop the bending of the walls that breaks the beams.
If the walls have strong cross sections and do not break, if they do not bend, and if they do not overturn, then they will not break the beams.
So then we'll have defeated the earthquake.
To make the wall frame strong so it doesn't break and bend, I apply compression to both ends by applying pre-tension with tendons and hydraulic jacks.
To keep the walls from toppling, the same pre-tension tendons that apply compression are, for the first time in the world, embedded into the earth's soil using a large twist-off.
In this way the wall is self-contained and does not need the beams to prevent it from overturning and bending.
On the other hand, the beams are not stressed by the bending and twisting of the wall, so they do not break.
For the first time the ground participates in receiving the forces of inertia by preventing 80% of the earthquake tensions circulating in the body of the load-bearing structure.
It also increases the wall strength by 31% with respect to the base shear stress.

Dear ResearchGate Forum Administration.
Dear colleagues.
I am addressing geophysicists and investors: those who wish to become the head of the Center for the Short-Term Earthquake Forecast Network.
You understand that due to more severe climate change on the planet, catastrophic earthquakes are possible this winter.
You see that the Earthquake Genesis model has been described, the theory of short-term forecasting works.
The tests of the short-term forecast have been successfully completed under the supervision of experts and the expert council.
The scientific examination of the Earthquake Genesis has been completed successfully.
Unfortunately, Russian officials do not want to admit that the conclusions of the RES under the leadership of the Ex-President of IASPEI - Professor A.V. Nikolaev (2006, 2012), are recognized by both the IPE RAS (2016) and the meeting of the RES Council (2015). Officials do not deny the conclusions of Nikolaev and Rogozhin. Officials say that they will not answer the President of Russia on a clearly posed question. Moreover, these officials offered to cooperate and deliberately sabotaged the work on this topic.
If you support the creation of the Global Forecast Network, uniting Germany, Austria, Portugal, the countries of the Vrancea zone, and other countries, I ask you to contact me urgently, since the forecast requires time for calibrate the stations. The General Director of the enterprise will be the one chosen by the representatives of the participating countries.
If we do not make it in time, there will be great casualties.
With respect.

According to Newton's third law, for there to be a balance of forces, for every action there must be an equal reaction.
Here's the strange thing about engineers.
The action of a large earthquake is three to four times the weight-reaction of the building, and they expect there to be an equilibrium of forces without bolting the structure to the ground. I offer them an extra force coming from the ground to balance the seismic action and they are still wondering if they want it!
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Doctor
[The 3rd Law (The Law of Action-Reaction) “For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.”
Anytime something applies a force, there will be an equal and opposite force back in the opposite direction.
● Push on the handle of a lawnmower to make it go forward, and it will push back against you in the opposite direction with just as much force.
● This is the pressure that you feel of the handle against your hand.
There is one ultra important thing to remember when you are looking at action-reaction pairs.
● The two forces that you are looking at are each acting on different objects!
● If you are examining what you think are action-reaction forces, but the forces are both acting on the one object, it is not an action-reaction pair.
● In the above example, you exert a certain force on the lawnmower. The lawnmower exerts an equal force on you. Two objects, two forces.
Some examples of action-reaction forces depend on the objects being in direct contact, meaning that the two objects involved are actually touching each other to exert forces on each other. These are called "contact forces." The following examples explain two objects interacting according to Third Law.
1. A car driving forwards Action: the tires on a car push backwards on the road… Reaction: the road pushes forwards on the tires.
2. You swimming Action: you push the water backwards... Reaction: the water pushes you forward.
3. A rocket takes off from a launch pad Action: a rocket pushes out exhaust backwards... Reaction: the exhaust pushes the rocket forward.
One of the original arguments that flight in the vacuum of space was impossible was that there would be nothing to push against. This action-reaction explains how a rocket can fly in space where there is no air to push against.
action-reaction pairs can also happen without friction, or even with the objects not touching each other, known as "action at a distance" forces …]

1.A tall elastic structure that rests on the ground, consisting of small cross-sectional columns and beams, will never topple over, because their trunks do not have the necessary force to rotate it.
What will happen is the bases of the columns will remain glued to the ground, while the cross-sections of the beams and columns around the nodes will first elastically and then inelastically bend and break.
See first photo
2.A tall rigid structure made entirely of reinforced concrete such as prefabricated houses has the potential to topple.

I read here and there trying to understand the mechanism that throws buildings into the earthquake.
Civil engineers, professors of earthquake engineering, regulations, trying to make buildings invulnerable to earthquake.
And yet, despite all the science, when there is a big nearby earthquake the structures are destroyed and we are flattened.
Things to me are simple. Too simple. But they don't want to listen. I challenge any engineer who wants any professor to a dialogue about what I say below. I'll say them simply so that even someone who is not an expert can understand them.
Let's take 30 CDs placed on top of each other on a table.
If we move the table abruptly the 30 CDs will slide one on top of the other and the pile of CDs will be shattered.
If on these 30 CDs we place toothpicks on them for legs, the column of 30 CDs will become much taller, and with a slight shake of the table it will collapse more easily than before.
If we now replace the CDs with the building plates and the toothpicks with the columns, we will have a 30-storey building.
We all now understand the simple mechanism that brings down the stack of 30 CDs and the 30-story apartment building.
Action - reaction, or acceleration - inertia.
This is the problem.
What is the solution?
The solution is so simple to save us from the earthquake and all the officials pretend not to understand when I tell them.
Now why they don't listen, don't answer, or pretend not to understand ask them yourself.
They do not answer me.
The solution is this.
If inside the hole of the 30 CD stack we nail a 45 nail into the table, then move the table as much as you want, the 30 CDs will stay on top of each other. That's the solution to the earthquake.
The nailed nail on the table stopped the inertia of the 30 CDs.
I did the same thing.
I bolted the lift shaft of the structure to the ground instead of nailing the nail to the table and checked the inelastic deformation of the structure in the rocking of the earthquake.
What is the difference with today's constructions? In the method I propose the soil participates by taking up the inertia of the structure and dissipating it into the soil before breaking the beams.

[About 50-year direct observation indicated that any civil structure founded in/on rock does not get damage from earthquakes without tsunami effect. The main reason behind this is that the modulus of elasticity of saturated rocks is a 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 have 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.]

And then we are told we have safe seismic construction.
In Turkey the catastrophic earthquake exceeded the 2g acceleration.

“You cannot predict [an earthquake] in the sense that there is no developed theory. There are many hypotheses, one might say, scientific ones, but these are still phenomenological models of earthquake preparation. On this basis, it is impossible to build an earthquake prediction system that would be comparable to, say, a weather forecast. This is one side of the matter - that there is no developed quantitative theory of preparation <...> In fact, the trouble with all the signs [of earthquakes] is that sometimes they are observed, but an earthquake does not occur.

Post-tensioning at the edges of the walls and embedding the tendons in the foundation soil.
Ground acceleration creates inertia of the mass, inertia with height and articulation create torque, torque creates rotation.
But what does the torque rotate? Does it rotate the entire building or does it rotate the walls and columns?
There are the walls and columns that are vertical and there are the beams and slabs that are horizontal.
All of them are connected together at the nodes.
The rotation of the trunk of the walls also lifts the beams upwards.
If the beams resist lifting the building and turning it around on itself then there will be building overturning.
Usually this overturning occurs in buildings with very small footprints, many floors and with strong walls and beams.
But if the walls and beams do not have the strength to rotate the building, then the entire area of the base of the building remains on the ground and what rotates is each wall and column of the structure, sometimes to the right and sometimes to the left.
This wall rotation breaks the beams and the building collapses.
The elastic or inelastic deformation of the frame of the walls and columns affects and elastically or inelastically deforms the beams to which they are connected at the nodes and is the second reason for the deformation of the beams that cause them to break and the structure to fall. So 1. the bending of the walls and columns and 2. the elastic or inelastic bending of the trusses is what breaks the beams.
If we want to stop the collapse of structures we must do the following.
1.Embed the walls in the foundation soil with ground anchors to stop them from rotating and breaking the beams.
2.We need to apply artificial compression to the walls, through post tensioning, to make them stiff to prevent them from easily deforming and transferring moments to the beams, and dynamic to resist the moments.
These are two simple things I do, and it is my recommendation that civil engineers do them as well, and no structure will ever be brought down by an earthquake again.
To embed in the ground we need strong anchors and I am trying to perfect these experimentally.

Seismic behavior of unbonded post-tension wall with replaceable energy dissipator
Peng Mi , Ping Tan , Yiming Li , Xiaofeng Zhao , Mengxiong Tang
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
Volume 166, March 2023, 107737
[Abstract
Unbonded post-tension (UPT) precast concrete shear walls achieve better recentering capacity with little residual drift but less energy dissipation capability. To improve the situation, a steel-reinforced UPT precast concrete wall with replaceable low-yield-point steel plates as energy dissipators (PEWs) is developed. The proposed wall is a load bearing-energy dissipation dual function system with two seismic lines of defense. A design approach is proposed to determine the damper force under a certain energy-dissipation moment ratios. The wall behavior is analyzed concerning four performance states under combined gravitational and lateral loads using an elaborate fiber model developed in OpenSsees. Lateral bearing yield strength and peak resistance increased under monotonic and cyclic loading respectively. All the relative energy-dissipation ratios of the PEW at different cycles are greater than 0.125, as recommended by ACI ITG T5.1. The performances of two eight-story frame shear wall structures with and without energy dissipators devices subjected to 22 the maximum considered earthquake records are compared. The base shear forces, roof displacement response and story drift of the PEW reduced significantly. The PEW specimens exhibited superior behavior in terms of lateral resistance and energy dissipation.]

My questions are about the calculation of Site Fundamental Frequency using Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) based on the Fourier amplitude spectrum:
As the distance from the source of the earthquake increases, the difference between the acceleration of the horizontal and vertical components becomes very large, and by dividing these two values, no matter how large the horizontal component is, when divided by the vertical component, its effect is very small. How can this effect be explained?
Relevant answer
Answer
The amplification due to the surface layer is related to the impedance ratio between the base ground and surface layer, with a horizontal component H and a vertical component V. Because the impedance ratio of the propagation velocity between the surface layer and the base ground is considered larger for the horizontal component, the predominant frequency will be considerably higher for vertical motion, although the amplification of vertical motion will be smaller. In any case, the amplification of vertical motion should be significantly smaller in the frequency band predominating the horizontal motion.

However, the method of improving and strengthening the floors of buildings, which is the insulation and strengthening of the floors of buildings, is still not used in Iran, and this is a big defect in Iran, so that when an earthquake or danger occurs, such as Japan and Armenia, the buildings are isolated and low-rise, and the bottom of the columns have pistons and divergents for impact, so that during an earthquake, natural rubber and steel springs and pistons play and prevent falling.

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.

Answer
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.

How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
Now in Iran, according to my suggestion, Unilit roof is used in the roofs of residential and office buildings, which is very light. I took this suggestion in an article for the seismological organization in Tehran and gave 14 suggestions to prevent the Tehran earthquake, including 2 They implemented it. One of them removed the bricks from the roof of residential and office buildings and put unilite and poured concrete on top of it, which is very resistant because there is a round rod inside the bits and it was mixed with concrete, and I also said that in metal buildings from 7 or 8 should be used next to the walls because it makes the Masguni houses stronger and also 2 parking spaces should be used under the buildings, like palm trees or dates, which have deep roots and will not fall during an earthquake. Buildings must have deep roots and also in the science of retrofitting structures, divergence is used, that is, natural or artificial rubber is used under the pillars of the houses, and steel springs are used in the middle, so that during an earthquake, the building, like a car or A car that has a spring and the springs play, the building goes up and down but does not fall, and this is a building engineering science that makes buildings resistant to earthquakes and natural disasters. And secondly, through the injection of water and salt solution, the energy of the faults can be removed. Because it comes from the earth's core, which has 6000 degrees Celsius of heat. At any moment, this heat transfers to the surface of the earth. Therefore, the energy inside the earth must be removed, and by transferring the water and salt solution that all the oil extraction companies have, which is known as the injection of water and salt solution, like a tiny needle that is inserted into a balloon so that the balloon does not burst, we humans can create an artificial earthquake. Let's prevent the earthquake explosion and create an artificial earthquake ourselves and release the pressure inside the earth. And 3, we should not build residential or office buildings where there is a fault line, because the buildings are heavy and the taller and bigger they are, the more pressure is placed on the faults. So either we have to build a single floor or not at all to prevent an earthquake from happening.

Syria has been suffering from a senseless, devastating war for more than 14 years, in which the combatants did not respect any sanctity of humans, trees, animals, cities, archaeological, historical, and even religious sites. The impact on the environment was very violent, through the use of heavy weapons and explosives of all kinds, the destruction of agricultural lands and forests by uprooting and felling trees, the loss of biodiversity, water and sanitation systems, and the pollution of the air and soil with heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic and lead, which are produced by weapons and their remnants. Of solid waste and mines, effects that may last for decades, causing permanent damage to the ecosystem, in addition to the presence of a huge number of unexploded explosives that explode and cause the death of dozens of civilians daily, in addition to the Corona pandemic in 2021 and 2022, and the devastating earthquake that struck Syria on 6 February 2023. It greatly destroyed cities and towns, in addition to the destruction of infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, companies, and factories, which contributed to a severe deterioration in the level of humanitarian conditions, especially food security. All of the above doubled the pressure on the environment through unjust cutting. For forests to use their wood, and illegal hunting of animals, and increased the government’s inability to meet the requirements of economic and social growth and development, and take into account environmental requirements. In this paper, we address the current state of the Syrian economy, the damage caused by military and security operations, the decline in agricultural production, air, soil and water pollution, the spread of oil pollution, and illegal fishing. We reached a basic conclusion, which is that the senseless and destructive Syrian war has affected the environment in a devastating and catastrophic manner, and that its negative environmental, economic, social, and even political effects will continue for a long period of time. Among the most important recommendations is to achieve real concerted regional and international efforts to stop the devastating and ongoing war, and to work to mobilize international support (technical and financial) to overcome the devastating effects of the environment and climate left by this war, because these catastrophic environmental effects will not be limited to Syria, but rather their repercussions will be on the region and the world.

Not only can war be destructive to the socio-environment, but military activities produce extensive amounts of greenhouse gases (that contribute to anthropogenic climate change), pollution, and cause resource depletion, among other environmental impacts. northern Aleppo, armed groups have been a main driver in heavy logging of natural forests, with nearly 60% of trees cut down. The war also directly caused destruction of large-scale commercial orchards, impacting livelihoods. The combined effects of rising temperatures, decreased rainfall and water scarcity are among the reasons for reduced water levels in the Euphrates River. This makes it difficult for people to earn a living, forcing many farmers in once-rich agricultural communities, such as Deir-ez-Zor, to abandon their land. Due to the collapse of Syria's water infrastructure, more than half of Syrians now get water from such unsafe sources. There are multiple causes of this crisis: drought and climate change, wartime destruction, energy shortages, and the weaponization of water access by Turkey and other actors. Along with the degradation of the natural resources in these countries and a radical destruction of forest cover, the animal and bird populations have also been adversely affected. The ongoing economic crisis is worsening negative coping mechanisms and particularly affecting female-headed households while contributing to the normalization of gender-based violence and child exploitation.

How much radial distance should be considered when preparing an earthquake catalogue for Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis? What is the reason behind consideration of that distance? Is there any particular formula or standard distance?
Relevant answer
Answer
While there are other influencing factors (e.g. Seismic Network configuration, magnitude of earthquakes of interest, heterogeneity, tectonic settings etc.) considered in determining the choice of radial distance in PSHA, common practices for different scales involving Local, Regional, and Global investigations could involve the following:
For Local Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) (e.g., site-specific hazard assessments), a typical radial distance might be 100 km or less. Regional PSHA may extend to 300 km or more, capturing broader tectonic features.
For Global-scale PSHA, the radial distance can be extensive, covering entire tectonic plates.

I agree with you: that can be made very good short term earthquake forecastings in majorities cases (because exists some cases when the forecasting meets difficulties!.
Without a short-term earthquake forecast, it is not possible to talk about earthquake forecasting... The closer we are to the occurrence of an earthquake, the easier it should be to be able to predict it.
However, due to the current economic and political situation, no one should be charged with murder if they don't want to end up on the street overnight... In history there is, for example, Nicola Tesla, and my case as well, which clearly reflects that if you don't follow the mainstream will forever banish you from your profession, for which your poor parents made so many financial sacrifices.

I have forecasted, more earthquakes without anything,
The earthquake can be traced back to a simple natural phenomenon:
Let's see what Alexander Yagodin wrote:
'Here is how I found the most reliable harbinger.
'A gravitational-seismic wave carries energy from the periphery to the place where the earthquake will occur.' [This sentence is excellent, But you don't have a theoretical explanation for why this is... I know why! Ask Yagodin why this iswhat else needs to be known, based on this, the earthquake forecast will still be uncertain, ]
'This is already the penultimate stage.' ˙[This is true, only this pronunciation should be clarified]
'The wave carries energy to the site of the future epicenter. I measure its energy at seismic stations. [This is an interesting sentence again... Correct, only in this form should further explanation be necessary]'
'If there are no anomalies at seismic stations, then there will be no earthquake. If there is an anomaly, then there will be an earthquake.The greater the amplitude of the KaY wave at stations, the greater the magnitude of the future earthquake.' [Accurate Earthquake prediction requires much more information... For this to work, another similar method is needed.]
'If this is clear, please let me know.
I will show the next article, where it is clear that the KaY wave is a ring with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. This ring shrinks towards the middle...'
[I have an opinion on this. But Alexandr knows better than what he means
If you need my advice in Afghanistan, I will gladly accept it']

The theory of the Genesis of earthquakes has been created.
Based on this theory, the main fields, the main forces involved in the development of earthquakes, are determined.
The participation of the same fields in the creation of anomalies and in the creation of the earthquake itself ensures 100% reliability. The low speed of the wave that creates an earthquake ensures high accuracy in determining the location, start and end time, and the strength of a future earthquake.

Integrating advanced control strategies like adaptive or artificial intelligence-based algorithms into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) can enhance their effectiveness in mitigating structural vibrations. Here's how it can be done effectively:
  1. System Modeling and Analysis:Understand the dynamics of the structure and the characteristics of the vibrations to be controlled. Develop mathematical models of the structure and TMD system to simulate and analyze their behavior.
  2. Selection of Control Strategy:Evaluate different control strategies such as adaptive control or AI-based algorithms (e.g., neural networks, fuzzy logic, reinforcement learning) based on the complexity of the problem, performance requirements, and available resources.
  3. Sensor Selection and Data Acquisition:Choose appropriate sensors to measure structural response and vibrations. Ensure accurate and reliable data acquisition systems to provide input to the control algorithms.
  4. Algorithm Design and Implementation:Design adaptive control or AI-based algorithms tailored to the specific requirements of the TMD system. Implement the algorithms using suitable programming languages and platforms.
  5. Parameter Tuning and Optimization:Optimize control parameters using techniques like parameter estimation, optimization algorithms, or reinforcement learning to improve performance and adaptability.
  6. Real-Time Control Implementation:Implement the control algorithms in real-time to actively adjust the TMD characteristics based on measured structural responses. Utilize fast computation platforms to ensure timely control actions.
  7. Performance Evaluation and Validation:Conduct simulation studies and experimental tests to evaluate the performance of the integrated system under various operating conditions. Validate the effectiveness of the control strategies in reducing structural vibrations and improving system stability.
  8. Robustness and Adaptability:Ensure that the integrated control system remains robust against uncertainties, changes in structural properties, and external disturbances. Implement adaptive mechanisms to continuously adjust control parameters based on real-time feedback to maintain optimal performance.
  9. Safety and Reliability:Consider safety aspects and ensure that the control strategies do not compromise the structural integrity or pose risks to occupants. Conduct thorough testing and validation to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the integrated system.
By following these steps, advanced control strategies can be effectively integrated into tuned mass dampers to enhance their performance in reducing structural vibrations and improving overall structural stability.

Why did countries build many dams for themselves in their country and made the Euphrates and Tigris rivers dry and waterless in Syria, Iraq and Iran and bring dust to this country?
As you know, today the role of water in Kishreh is vital, and as the famous saying goes, the future war will be a water war. And this issue makes some countries only look after the interests of their own country and build many dams on rivers that cause environmental problems for neighboring countries. They ask us what did you do for your neighbor? Now, for example, the countries are Muslim, but we don't know that their own interests are so much more important that they don't think about their neighbors? Don't these governments want to answer their neighbors? Isn't one of the factors that caused the earthquake to collect a lot of water behind the dams? What caused these waters to penetrate the famous faults and humans themselves to accelerate the cause of the earthquake? Because earthquake science has proven that water causes earthquakes. If you want to give an example, in 1945, after the Second World War, in the Texas region, because the oil well was old and they had to extract the oil from the bottom of the well, they dug a well next to the oil well and injected the water under pressure and saw tomorrow. A 3-4 Richter earthquake occurred and this was according to geologists, if water penetrates the faults, it causes the earth's faults to rupture and cause earthquakes, which means that we humans can also cause earthquakes ourselves. And we don't have to wait for an earthquake by nature. Now I just want to ask this question to all respected and dear countries, isn't it better for us humans to help each other to live more easily on this earth?

Best regards
Ioannis Kamvisis
Relevant answer
Answer
You are very right! Extreme weather events are on the rise simply because there is more POWER in the air. Where is this extra power come from?
A warmer air makes the seas warmer, therefore sea water evaporates more than before. When this water turns into steam and rises it cools giving out tremendous amount of energy to the air (latent heat of condensation). This extra energy in the air powers the weather phenomena.
As a result the wind gets stronger, the rains longer, hurricanes and tornadoes more powerful, etc. From the above we also get more flooding, more landslides and more powerful waves.
If we don't like the extreme weather events, simply reduce the amount of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning. Easier said than done: How can we stop driving or start producing energy with other methods. Sounds impossible to do. Therefore we are stuck with accelerated weather worsening.

How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
And then we can discuss again. First of all, we can take effective measures to fix the faults, for example, with concrete poles that have reinforced concrete, i.e. put round bars inside the concrete, and inside the fields that we dug with wells and water solution and We strongly injected salt into the faults and the earth's energy was removed. We can use the concrete that has a network of round bars that are covered with strong concrete. We can continue to sew the faults and make the faults resistant. Of course, this work requires both accurate topographical maps and maps of the ground where the faults have been precisely identified, which are the exact faults, whether they are main faults or minor and small faults, under what conditions in the geomorphological and topographical maps and Where is the GAS map located and where are the cities next to this fault map? Of course, seismological engineers should cooperate with geologists, mineralogists and environmentalists.
2- And also in the proposal, I should mention that it is important for the people of cities and villages to be aware of the map of the faults and where each person's building is located and to know exactly how far it is from the fault. Because in the science of seismology, if it is 100 meters or 200 meters away from the center of the earthquake or fault, the destruction of the building is more. Because earthquake waves are (SPL) earthquakes which are surface waves cause the destruction of buildings, and if the building is 100 meters or 200 meters away, due to the wave that is small at first, then it gets stronger and then finally, this wave decreases, and according to seismological calculations, if the building is 100 meters away from the epicenter, the intensity of destruction is greater. So we have to inform people.
3- In tall buildings, we must inform people that they should never be in the stairs or elevators during an earthquake. Because during an earthquake, the first place to be destroyed is the staircase and the elevator, and also during an earthquake, the building's electricity is cut off and the people who are inside the elevator are stuck. is more Or in the open bathroom and toilet is better. Or inside the closet is better. For example, during the Bam earthquake in Kerman, a mother and daughter survived for 3 days and nights in a closet.
How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
Relevant answer
Answer
The engineering profession is well equipped today to construct anti-seismic buildings and houses. It has not always been like that.
For example, my father built the first anti-seismic buildings in modern-era Greece in the 1920's when he was in charge of building branches of the National Bank in cities around the country. He used iron bars in the walls to "brace" the buildings so that movement will not brake the structure.
He was successful and some people refused to believe it. After the devastating earthquake of 1955 on the island of Zakynthos only the bank building survived and the orthodox church (that was attributed to a miracle) while the rest of the town was levelled. His Bank president did not believe that the bank building was not destroyed and he travelled to the island to see it for himself!
On another situation he had to build one huge bank building over the ocean! (part of the town was marshy, but there was no alternative location). So in this situation he used 400 cement pillars and build the bank over them! The building is similar to an ancient Greek temple and still there today.

As you know, terrible and dangerous earthquakes happen every year, and perhaps the most dangerous one was in Turkey last year. Because he had built huge dams on the rivers of his country and the same factor, the water behind the dams had increased, and the intrusion of water on the Torres and Anti-Torres faults on the Ararat mountains in Turkey is considered the cause of the earthquake. . Because today, geologists and seismologists have come to the conclusion that water plays an important role in causing earthquakes, and the penetration of water into the fault and its subduction and subduction layers is the cause of artificial and induced earthquakes, and this experiment in the region Texas, United States of America, it has been proven that by injecting water and water and salt solution in the oil region of Texas, America, earthquakes of magnitude 3 and 5 have been caused. We will release the energy inside the earth. It means that humans themselves will play a role in causing earthquakes. Now the question is that we humans, with this knowledge, why are we storing water on the faults again when there is a possibility of earthquakes in the future? Is it not possible to inject water inside the faults with calculated planning so that the internal pressure of the faults is released slowly and free people from the danger of earthquakes?

Earthquakes and tsunamis are generated by energy coming out of the Earth's interior. That power will last for ever.
By building large artificial lakes in front of hydroelectric dams humans never realized these will cause earthquakes until they happened. They don't make artificial lakes anymore.
Injecting fluids after withdrawing oil and gas can also cause earthquakes, but these are kept secret by the oil companies who have been treated above the Law so far and always protected by governments. This is going to change, too.
In some cases, water storage was done without the knowledge that faults existed under the water. The geology was not studied, because they did not realize the importance of faults.
I myself applied to study the presence of faults under an artificial lake, but the hydro company refused to give me any information and the government supported that decision!
On top of that my university found a geology professor(!) and a Science Dean who supported that decision instead of supporting me! In this case, more earthquakes will occur and the public will face more fatalities in the future. For your information, this happened in Manitoba, Canada about 2010.
On the other hand, climate change is to do with the proportion of gases in the air. This is controlled by human activities and can be altered if people decide one day.

While traditional science deals with supposedly predictable phenomena such as gravity, electricity or chemical reactions, there is also Chaos Theory which deals with non-linear things that are virtually impossible to predict or control, such as turbulence, weather, the stock market, our brain states and so on.
When there is an earthquake there are too many unpredictable - unpredictable chaos factors in the behavior of the ground and the structure that change the stress measure of each individual structure.
Low-rise structure, mid-rise structure and high-rise structure react differently to the multiple frequencies of ground displacement reaching below the structure.
The direction of the earthquake is unknown, the ground acceleration reaching under the structure and determining the force of the earthquake is unknown, the exact content of the seismic excitation frequencies is unknown, the duration of the earthquake is unknown, a structure can withstand high acceleration for a short duration or low acceleration for a long duration, but cannot withstand high acceleration for a long duration, the magnitude of the earthquake is unknown, the distance from the epicentre of the earthquake to the structure is unknown, the focal depth of the earthquake is unknown, the composition of the ground between the structure and the earthquake which transmits the energy of the earthquake is unknown, e.g. e.g. soft soil increases ground displacement four to five times compared to rock. Even the maximum possible accelerations given by seismologists, which determine the seismic design factor, have a probability of being exceeded by more than 10%.
The correlation of quantities such as "inertia stresses, damping forces, elastic forces, dynamic characteristics of the structure, soil-structure interaction, imposed ground motion" is non-linear and by interacting with each other they change the behaviour and stress of the building.
I am engaged in applied research of seismic structures trying to eliminate and control all these unstable chaos factors lying on the ground and better construction by applying prestressing at the ends of the wall sections in order to reduce the deformation of their frame and increase the strength of their reinforced concrete without admixtures and mass increase which incidentally increases the inertia loads, and on the other hand I am embedding the structure with the ground for the first time in the world in order to rotate the inertia loads into the ground allowing the ground to participate in the response of the structure to the seismic displacements, excessively controlling the chaos of all these unstable factors, while increasing the quality of the foundation soil.
In addition to the above mentioned too, there are three other factors that I exploit to increase the earthquake carrying capacity of structures.
1) I built additional seismic damping mechanisms throughout the height of the building.
2) Decoupling of the elastic columns and beams and plates, from the rigid longitudinal prestressed and butted walls with the ground, allows them to collide with each other at the height of the diaphragms and in this way to cancel out the displacements of the load-bearing structure and the deformations.
3) I exploited the double lever arm of height and width of the longitudinal walls, so that the lever arm of width cancels out the torque tensions that the lever arm of height lowers at the base.

Well, buckle up for this one. The earthquake in Japan, a whopping 7.6 on the Richter scale, is no joke. I don't sugarcoat, so here's the lowdown on the anticipated Public Health challenges.
First off, brace yourself for injuries. With such a seismic punch, hospitals will be swamped with casualties. The challenge here is triaging and treating the wounded efficiently. I suggest medical teams be on their A-game because it's about to get real chaotic.
Then there's the mental health rollercoaster. People will be stressed, anxious, and possibly traumatized. It's not just about physical health; we've got to take care of the mind too. Expect a surge in demand for mental health services.
And let's not forget about the hygiene hustle. Post-earthquake environments can get downright messy. I advise a Herculean effort to maintain sanitation and prevent the spread of diseases. Trust me, you Alfred Addy don't want an earthquake leading to a health crisis.
In a nutshell, Japan needs a well-oiled machine to tackle the influx of injuries, keep minds intact, and maintain the cleanliness standard. It's a challenging time, no doubt, but hey, if I can do anything now, I'd say let's get those health protocols in order, and fast!

The purpose of earthquake engineering is not to build strong and earthquake-resistant buildings that do not experience the slightest damage in rare and severe earthquakes. The cost of such structures for the vast majority of users will have no economic justification.
Instead, engineers focus on buildings that resist earthquakes' effects and do not collapse, even in severe external excitations. It is the most important goal of international standards in the seismic design of buildings.
Below I have mentioned some crucial points in reducing the seismic demand in reinforced concrete structures. If there is anything else that is not on the list, feel free to append:
1- Selecting suitable construction conditions with the desired soil type of seismic design
2. Avoid using unnecessary masses in the building
3- Using simple structural elements with minimal torsional effects
4. Avoid sudden changes in strength and stiffness in building height

Thanks and Regard in advance!
Relevant answer
Answer
Repeated earthquakes refer to a series of seismic events that occur in the same general region or along the same fault line over a period of time. These earthquakes are characterized by their recurrence in a specific geographical area and are often associated with tectonic plate boundaries.
The term "repeated earthquakes" implies that seismic activity is not a one-time occurrence but is rather a phenomenon that repeats itself due to ongoing tectonic processes. Tectonic plates are constantly moving, and their interactions can lead to the release of energy in the form of earthquakes.
Earthquakes can occur along faults, which are fractures in the Earth's crust where blocks of rock have moved past each other. As stress builds up along these faults, it is eventually released in the form of an earthquake. In regions with active tectonic activity, it is not uncommon to observe a series of earthquakes over time, with some areas experiencing repeated seismic events.
Monitoring and studying repeated earthquakes are essential for understanding the seismic behavior of a region, assessing earthquake hazards, and implementing effective earthquake preparedness and mitigation strategies. Scientists use seismological data to analyze the patterns and characteristics of repeated earthquakes, providing valuable information for earthquake prediction and risk assessment.

Do you know what are the cheapest houses made entirely of reinforced concrete on which my patent has a performance? The prefabricated ones.
The acceleration of the earth on which the structure rests imposes a displacement in one direction on the building which reacts with another force in the opposite direction which we call inertia.
These two forces with different heights impose a overturning moment on the structure.
This overturning moment acts as follows.
If we have a rigid and elevated dynamic building made entirely of reinforced concrete, then the building will overturn entirely in a large earthquake. That is, its entire base will become a wall and the wall will become a base.
If the building has beams and columns then neither the columns are simply bent over, nor do the beams have the strength to rotate the building around itself, nor will the base of the building leave the ground. The reason is that neither the beams nor the columns have such strong cross-sections that they are able to rotate the structure and overturn it.
If we have walls and beams then the weaker cross sections of the beams will break, and the structure will be left on the ground without rotating and overturning.
The ceiling, however, will come down on our heads.
Here we see three different structures reacting differently. But not all of them react the way we want them to.
We don't want the columns to break, we don't want the beams to break, and we don't want it to tip over.
If we take the dynamic version of the structure that is made entirely of reinforced concrete that only topples but does not break, and embed it in the ground with strong anchors, then I ask any would-be denier of my method what damage can be done?
The structure will suffer no damage.
Do you know any more are the cheapest houses made entirely of reinforced concrete on which my patent has performed? The prefabricated ones. .... It doesn't pay off...the system and cheap and seismically sound.
The all reinforced concrete building has two main levers.
That of height and that of width.
That of height contrasts with that of width.
The one of height multiplies the moments that descend to the base and overturn the structure, and the one of width resists this overturning. So the force of inertia along with the height multiplies the overturning moments, while the building's footing on the other end of the width lever arm along with the distance from the pivot point stops the building from overturning.
The farther the anchorage is from the pivot point of the rigid building, the lower the overturning force it receives.

  • asked a question related to Earthquake
Question

What new I brought to the construction that can't be questioned by anyone
The earthquake imposes a force on the structure and the structure resists that force with the cross-sections of the load-bearing elements.
The cross sections of the beam plates and wall and column sections have some strength and then they break. If we increase the cross sections and reinforcement to increase the strength of the structure without the earthquake being stronger, the seismic loads also increase because they are tied to the mass of the structure. Greater mass = greater loads with the same acceleration.
Conclusion. The structure is saturated with reinforcement and concrete and that's the limit of its strength. No more.
This strength that the structure currently has only responds to small earthquakes and medium earthquakes with some post-earthquake damage repairs. No structure in the world can withstand very large earthquakes.
And I come to the civil engineers and say.
If you increase reinforcement and concrete to increase strength it is futile because it increases along with strength and seismic loads.
You have to increase the strength without increasing the mass.
And I give them two solutions not one to increase strength without increasing mass.
First solution. We take force from the ground, that is an external force, which has no mass because it comes from the ground and we use it to help the cross sections additively 1+1=2 to cope with the earthquake.
Second solution. In the earthquake 30% of the cross section of the concrete wall is active. The other 70% is inert, offers nothing and only does nothing but increase as a mass the earthquake forces. If we apply prestressing the whole concrete cross section becomes active and contributes to the earthquake without increasing inertia.

Answer
Dear Dr. Samy Elhadi Oussadou
I would like to add the following to your correct observations in the seismic planning I am proposing
It all changes in seismic design.
In the field of seismic design, there has been a major change in thinking. Instead of simply adding more mass and reinforcement, which paradoxically increases seismic loads, four innovative solutions are coming to the fore.
The first harnesses external forces from the ground, combining them with structural elements to respond more effectively to earthquakes.
The second uses prestressing to harness the full potential of concrete wall sections, enhancing their strength without adding extra weight which increases inertia and moments.
Thirdly, the bearing soil is strengthened by pre-compaction in the horizontal and vertical directions, while simultaneously pre-controlling the composition in the inhomogeneous foundation soil with samples collected from the drilling of boreholes.
Fourth We now control the construction ground resonance since we are able to mitigate by controlling the displacement in each seismic loading cycle.
This new approach emphasizes intelligent design and optimization against absolute volume, and deformation control measure so that the structure always rocks, within the elastic displacement range, regardless of the acceleration magnitude and duration of the seismic event.
All of this is achieved by the footing on the ground and prestressing of all the wall faces.

Geophysicists have an understanding of the mechanism and causes of earthquakes in the contact zones of tectonic plates. Here, earthquakes occur as a result of the spreading of tectonic plates. Geophysicists have an understanding of the mechanism but not the causes of earthquakes in transform fault zones. Geophysicists have no understanding of either the mechanism or causes of earthquakes with epicenters inside tectonic plates. There is no understanding of the causes of repeated strong shocks. They are simply called foreshocks and aftershocks. about the cause of the aftershock of the Turkish earthquake, there is information in my discussion "The earthquake in Turkey is a consequence of planetary scale geodeformations. Is the concept of stress accumulation before an earthquake wrong?". The theory is in my discussion "Ocean tides and deformations of the Earth's surface of tidal origin have different physics of the process. Why?".
I will give the actual data on earthquakes with a magnitude of more than seven in Turkey on February 6, 2023. Data from open sources on the Internet.
Judging by the Moment tensor map data, both earthquakes had the same Focal_mechanism - Left-lateral strike-slip. The first shock was caused by a shift in direction southwest - northeast. The second shock is caused by a shift in the direction west - east. This was confirmed by the intensity maps of shaking from earthquakes.
With a vertical amplitude of semidiurnal tides in the solid body of the Earth from -13 to +23 cm cm during earthquakes, the indicated amplitudes of horizontal and vertical tidal displacements completely coincided. 12 hours after the aftershock, the amplitude of the vertical tidal displacement decreased only by 5% (it remained high).
Conclusion. While maintaining significant geodeformation energy throughout the whole day of February 6, which was caused by geodeformations on February 3 in changes in the gravitational field, the first earthquake significantly weakened (did not destroy) the tectonic structures of the Eastern Anatolian Fault (azimuth 45 degrees). The aftershock was inevitable. When the tide in the solid body of the Earth repeated itself in phase and amplitude, an aftershock occurred under conditions of powerful geodeformations on a planetary scale. By the second earthquake, the tectonic structures of the Eastern Anatolian Fault were destroyed and transformed into structures with an azimuth of 90 degrees. The third earthquake was already inexpedient, although at 10 pm on February 6 there was quite a lot of energy.
Note. The tides in the solid body of the Earth deform the planet along the parallels and meridians and all existing fault systems (azimuths 17, 35, 45, 62, 77 degrees) transform into a system of block divisibility of the lithosphere 90 degrees.

Answer
Good evening Dr Hasan,
This is a challenging question and the answer is likley to depend on the local, national and international circumstances preceeding and following the earthquake, as well as on the charcteristics of the earthquke, level of destructiion, casualties, etc. The more severe the eartqhuake it is likley to pose more severe challenges and potentially opportunities.
Probably a good start would be to explore case studies from past earthqaukes and attempt to extrapolate the lessons learned, especially in relation to examples that are probably most close in their circumstances to the one you want to explore.
One would assume that there would be initial direct and indirect lossess associated with the earthquake but equally one could expect that the earthquake could also boost in short to medium term the economy due to the reconstruction efforts, demand for materials, labour, etc. that in turn could boost the ecomonic output too. However, all these investments would have to be paid somehow and would lead to increased borrowing inside and outside the country. I belive that there have been instances where the country currancy had to be devaluated within few years of the earhquake but it is difficult to say if the earthquke was the primary cause or the event that tipped over the balance.
The affected area might become a magnet for employment due to the available opportunities. This may become unsustainable in a long term because at some point the reconstruction will wind down. This in turn may cause structural problems in the economy wiill oversupply of certain types of labour and business that would no longer be locally required. If the wider economy is unable to asborb this oversupply, it may result in unemployment, wage reductions and fearced competition for the few remaining jobs, with all of the associated pros and cons. A potential benefit could be associated with the upscaling of the local labour force if traininng programms are introduces in the post earthquake period that may have long term positive effects as these newely skilled cohort should be able to attract higher wages than before, etc.
The above are only suggestions about the possible effects of the earthquake that will have their effects on the economy.

Answer
Hi
Here is one approach to model a horizontal beam on nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) with axial, transverse, and vertical springs in OpenSees:
1. Discretize the 1 km long beam into elements (say 100 10m long elements).
2. Use an ElasticBeamColumn element for each beam segment.
3. Attach zeroLength elements to each node:
- zeroLength in local x-direction for axial soil springs
- zeroLength in local y-direction for transverse soil springs
- zeroLength in local z-direction for vertical springs
4. Use a Parallel material to combine the elastic behavior with a Bilin/Quad nonlinearity for each spring.
5. Apply spring properties like stiffness, yield strength, post-yield stiffness.
6. For damping, attach zeroLength elements with a ViscousDamper material at the ends.
7. Apply restraints and prescribed displacement to beam ends to simulate boundary conditions.
8. For load, apply point loads, prescribed displacements, or ground motion acceleration to the model.
The spacing of the soil springs depends on the desired discretization accuracy. A spacing of 5-10m would likely be reasonable for this length of beam.
This assembles a beam on springs system with nonlinear material models and damping to capture soil-pipeline interaction effects under dynamic loading. The zeroLength elements conveniently allow applying 1D spring-damper behavior between nodes.
