in qatar, most high rise building were designed for minimal seismic zone classifications as dictated by UBC/IBC.
but most low to mid rise are, sad to say.... are not, specially those designed using British codes.
well as they say, very least chances of earthquake occuring due to plates configurations. but with the drastic changing of weather now a days and the continuous shifting of the continental plates, one can never know what might happens next.
anyway, if armageddon do happen, where do you plan to go then?
