As a thought... look at doing this with new buildings. Bind 2 1/2" and 3/4" gravel under the foundations. Use a 15" minimum raft slab, and build on top of that. This was tried in Adelaide, by an eccentric man, in the 1940's. His was the only house in Burnside to survive the 1950's earthquake without cracks to the walls. It was a solid brick house with clay roof tiles.
I made a website today that shows how to build an earthquake resistant house, but it does not cover foundations....the government has already educated people about pile to bearer fixings. ruclips.net/user/redirect?event=channel_description&redir_token=zNJ5zUbakhlzg4p1dfD1UtOtJbZ8MTU4NzU1MzU3M0AxNTg3NDY3MTcz&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmorrowj557.wixsite.com%2Fquake-resistant-home
