As far as I know, thermal expansion and contact losses are far bigger dimensioning factors, except for a few very active fault-lines. At these fault-lines and/or with very important fibers, special and site-specific precautions are usually taken. For terrestial faultlines, the cheapest and easiest mitigation is to cross the fault-line on poles with a slack messengerwire. For oceanfloor faultlines, plenty of slack and an oblique crossing is the best we've come up with yet. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
