Character: earthquake building codes

Written by Edward Leach

After the 2018 earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1, I reviewed the 1964 earthquake with a magnitude of 9.2. One amazing image was the intact house that slid down Turnagain’s bluff.

I conjured up memories of the 7.9 earthquake in 2002, and realized that most of the damage in Alaska isn’t from shaking, but from underlying earth actually being moved under structures, including roads.

Friends who didn’t sustain significant damage to the house or garage next door were forced to replace the garage because it moved away several inches from the house, opening up an interior structural wall to the elements.

A new Anchorage seismograph network after the 2018 event showed that the underlying ground response varied across Anchorage, even in areas only several blocks apart.

Rather than creating new codes for Anchorage and raising costs for everyone, the better course of action would be to define a solid foundation underpinning each new build and adapt the code requirements as necessary.
