What scale earthquake can the Yokohama landmark tower witstand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 972-foot tall building features a combination of anti-earthquake measures. The entire building sits on rollers, which allow the earth to undulate beneath the structure without shaking it. Additionally, the building has an active mass damper system that prevents the building from swinging by weighing it down. And if that doesn't work, the building is made from flexible materials that bend with the earthquake instead of breaking.
