Ask AI: how to make earthquake proof building

1. Design with a base-isolation system that uses shock absorbers. A base-isolation system isolates the building from the ground and keeps the building from being affected by the shaking of the ground. 2. Utilize steel or reinforced concrete frames. Steel and concrete frames provide extra stiffness and strength against earthquake forces. 3. Install a bracing system to make sure the building is flexible and can move without collapsing. 4. Install an active control system to help the building adapt to shaking. 5. Use wide foundations for extra support and stability. 6. Make sure the building is well sealed and does not have any large gaps or cracks where earthquake forces can enter. 7. Design the building to be aerodynamic, which helps reduce the effect of shaking. 8. Consider adding a rubber dampening system that will absorb seismic energy.
