Time to rethink earthquake management for high buildings in Cambodia
Thu, 1 September 2016

If asked if high-rise buildings in the Kingdom should incorporate earthquake-proof systems, perhaps no one would say yes, but it could be be timely now for skyscraper developers to consider putting forth natural disaster safety measures in their projects.
While Cambodia is not earthquake-prone thanks to its distance from the edges of volatile tectonic plates, last week’s 6.8-magnitude earthquake in central Myanmar was so powerful that tremors could be felt from as far away as Bangkok, raising questions about whether existing and upcoming skyscraper developments in Cambodia could mitigate such a natural disaster if an earthquake were to occur.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Rethinking earthquake management in Cambodia.
Would it really make a difference? Suppose a high rise building in downtown Phnom Penh would hold during a severe earthquake.
