“…Damaging earthquakes are common in the region of the Palu settlement as testified by its destruction and relocation several times in past millennia (Şaroğlu et al, 2018) (Figures 1b and 2). In recent moderate earthquakes (1977 Mw= 5.1 Palu and 2010 Mw=6.1 Okçular) loss of life and property was significant, and as a result of its current location and geological setting (Sunkar, 2011). Considering the factors, damages caused by earthquakes in the historical period cannot be measured with the magnitude of the earthquakes.…”

“…The newly developed or existing landslides have been responsible in the damage distribution in Okçular and Yukarı Kanatlı villages and İsa Ağa Area, where there had been much casualty and damage in the earthquake. It was also seen that the landslides, which occurred or reactivated during the earthquake had not only been responsible for damage of buildings but also deteriorated structures like road and bridge (Emre et al, 2010;Sunkar, 2011).…”

In this study, the relationship of landslides with lithological units and fault lines on the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) between Palu (Elazığ) and Bingöl, was evaluated. In the study area, which is located within the EAFZ, Göynük to the northeast, Palu Segment to the southwest, Genç Segment to the south of Bingöl plain and Gökdere Uplift in the intersection area form the main tectonic structures. In addition, the Karakoçan Fault Zone (KFZ) cutting the EAFZ in NW-SE direction between Palu and Bingöl corresponds to another important structure (system). The area, which is located in a region where a number of faults intersect, is tectonically very active. This situation has affected the morphology and caused the formation of many landslides along fault lines. In order to determine the relationship between the landslides observed in this area and lithological and tectonic structures, landslide magnitude and distribution analyses were performed by means of Geographical Information Systems. For this purpose, the landslide inventory map and the database were reproduced controlling the satellite images in fi eld studies. Similarly; geological and tectonic maps were prepared considering previous studies. Landslides created in vector format were converted into raster format and overlain with lithological and tectonic maps, and then the relationship between landslides and lithology-fault lines were determined. According to these results, 59% of landslides occur in Upper Miocene-Pliocene agglomerate and tuff units and 10% of them in Eocene carbonate units. According to these data, almost 70% of the landslides in the study area occurred in two units. Considering the relationship between landslides and fault lines 64% of the landslides are observed at 0-1000 m distances to the fault lines. As a result, there is an important relationship between lithological features and fault lines. The fact that landslides have occurred along the fault lines in the north of Murat Valley shows that the landslides are triggered more by earthquakes when compared with those triggered by the hydro meteorological events.

“…Nevertheless, several of the buildings in the town were widely modified over the years, substituting the ancient local materials and techniques by industrial and modern ones. This condition can be spotted out globally, with many analogous cases after important earthquakes [4] [5]. Adobes need maintenance; the clays are water soluble, and it is essential for the conservation of the constructive systems [6].…”

In the restoration field and the cultural heritage, the treatment of colour is very important, being an important factor for the decisions and interventions in historic buildings. However, some of these have not the same recognition and protection by authorities, being really vulnerable, especially against natural phenomena like the earthquakes. After the 2017 Puebla Earthquake, the remainders of the earthen architecture of Jojutla de Juarez were collected to be analysed. Natural clays of the quarries near the town were compared by colorimetry tests with the traditional adobe samples which were collected in the locality. There also were conducted particle size analysis and the Unified Soil Classification System, USCS, to obtain the composition and properties of the soils and the adobe bricks, as well as the additives used, mainly straw as fibre reinforcements of the adobe masonry. One of the factors observed which contributed to change the colorimetric values of the clays was the use of stabilizers like lime, on the other hand, these stabilizers also helped to change the USCS classification of the soils and their cohesive properties.
