Panagiotis Karydis and Efthymios Lekkas spoke about him earthquake in Turkey and they reported how was particularly destructivewhile they clarified that something like this is not going to happen in Greece.
The professors spoke to ERT and initially Mr. Karydis used a model that shows his students, to make a representation of how the buildings reacted to the impact of the engelado.
“The earthquake is coming from below. He hits it like this, he throws it up and due to poor construction it sits down and collapses into a pile of rubble. This is the mechanism,” said the emeritus professor of Earthquake Technology.
Afterwards, Mr. Lekkas noted that “this earthquake had too many victims, it was a large tectonic structure, a large fault of the order of 500 kilometers which we traveled with Mr. Karydis and with our partners from Latakia in Syria to Galatea in Turkey and a range of 70 kilometers. The fault itself plays a role. How much is the proximity of a structure, the foundation ground and the structure itself.”
“In Turkey, there were builders without knowledge of either geosciences or civil engineering. We are not going to see such images of this chaos here in Greece. In Greece we have a very good anti-earthquake regulation. We have practically made sure that there are no such defects that exist in Turkey. We are improving the regulations and that, of course, there is no risk,” he said, among other things.
