Nesrin Jul 22, 2011:
We need to be aware that the noun in question here is "earthquake", modified with the word "design". It's not the same as "earthquake design" or more precisely, earthquake-resistant design.
Nesrin Jul 22, 2011:
Exactly, Hassan, that makes it clearer. The design earthquake doesn't actually help avoid damage, but defining what it is & taking it into consideration when designing and constructing buildings does.
Hassan Lotfy Jul 21, 2011:
meaning:
In preparation to seismic risk, 'defining' a design earthquake help us avoid more damage 'by incorporating appropriate design measures to our building designs accordingly'.
