It’s pretty hard to build for a 7.8. That’s ridiculously strong, similar to SF 1908 which pretty much destroyed the entire city..

- gbil 4y agoThe location of the earthquake is pretty much on top of a plate fault so earthquakes are to be expected, especially big ones But the problem is not that you can't build for big earthquakes, more that the whole area is a low income one with everything that along
- nradov 4y agoIt is possible to build for a 7.8, at least so that the structure doesn't collapse (severe interior damage is inevitable). But many older high-rises in San Francisco were built to weaker standards or on soil subject to liquefaction and would be at serious risk. https://sf.curbed.com/2018/6/18/17465696/highrises-san-francisco-collapse-earthquake-risk-construction-skyscrapers https://sf.curbed.com/2018/6/18/17465696/highrises-san-franc...
