ADEFORMATION OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE NEAR SOME EARTHQUAKE CENTERS OF WESTERN TIEN SHAN
Based on the study of the literature and several studies by the authors revealed that in focal zones of earthquakes localizing excessive stresses, reducing stress-strain state of the environment to irreversible beyond the state, begins with the deformation ‘ <sub>i</sub> ‘ 10<sup>-6</sup><sub>.</sub> The satisfactory correspondence of the results obtained for several seismic sites can be considered as a theoretical justification for the correct use of simple structures of geostructural elements in quantitative calculations.
