    From the above title of the discussions, which i want to put forward, there some questions which i would like to ask, and i think , looking at the whole topic of engineering seismology,actually, what drives the movement of tectonic plate for any earthquake to happen,and but you, on geotechnical part of it, there is little explanations to offer a tangable solution to how the ground motions are propagated, in other words, taking into considerations of how some compliance can take an effective of to evaluate the engineering designs in relation to building codes? in summary for sure, i think it is important to know the sudden quake movements that occure along faults within earth, results of ground movements and how to assess the impact occuring surrounding the structures, structures definately, they need to resist ground gravity of a quake that begin to slide the land.
