Tip of the Week

Local ground conditions play a large role in the characteristics of earthquake motion. In areas noted for "soft" soil, the degree of quake motion is much greater. The quake forces are amplified on water-saturated soils. A quake tends to turn this type of soil from a solid into a liquid -- quicksand.
You can have your local building authority or even soil engineers check this. If it turns out that your building is situated on such soil, the foundations should and can be reinforced.
