Fig. 2. Coseismic surface ruptures associated with the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes. Coseismic surface rupture zones and respect distances are not symmetrical, which is consistent with the fault damage zone patterns. provide a substantial amount of useful information regarding the rupture propagation direction, damage distribution (aftershocks), and asymmetrical pattern of displacement (slip). Furthermore, the coseismic surface ruptures generated by recent earthquakes are well- matched with the suggested earthquake damage-controlling factors. Although this study suggests respect distances based on previous studies and fault damage factors, respect distances for important facilities should be established through a detailed investigation of the related faults in earthquake-prone areas. This study can contribute significantly to site selection for important facilities to reduce earthquake hazards in earthquake-prone areas.
