Houses can only be made to resist earthquakes. They can only be designed and constructed to permit a minimum amount of damage when a quake hits. A big enough quake will destroy about any structure. It may be possible to build an "earthquake proof" house by making it extremely small and building it out of moderately thick reinforced concrete, welded plate steel or something like that which is both strong and rigid. If an appropriately designed structure was sitting on an appropriate pad (but separate from it), a huge quake would only succeed in moving the house around because it would be too small and strong to "break" under the stress. If such a structure was built, a quake would probably, at most, shear off (or tear off flexible) water, gas and waste water lines while making a mess out of the inside.
A structure like the one described would probably be minimally functional and no fun to live in. It may be possible to engineer a "floating" rigid structure out of other materials, but anything on this order would cost a mint. You might always build the whole thing out of rubber and dump the rigid idea. That way when the shaking stops, everything returns to its normal shape. Everything on the inside would be a mess, though. Those (the completely rigid and "unbreakable" structure or the completely "flexible" one) are the two ideas that will withstand a quake. Combining the two will involve trade-offs that will almost certainly defeat the project. Think about this problem and you may come up with other ideas. They are also are made of steel, fiber glass, and wood

Some buildings are designed to be earthquake proof- especially in high risk areas like California or Japan- but they can only stand up to a certain force of earthquake, which is judged on the Richter scale.
Some systems that have been designed to reduce earthquake damage in buildings include-
* Concrete/steel reinforcing * Lightweight materials * Energy absorbing systems (most common in skyscrapers)
There are also systems devised to protect buildings that were not built with earthquake safetyin mind.
There are special hooks being developed to attach things such as cupboards to walls so that they do not fall during an earthquake.
Building will be earthquake proof when you tie the walls, floor, roof, and foundation into a rigid box. In this way, it will be capable of holding up forces from gravity, weight and content of the structure. But this process may cost you a lot. So, what engineers do is just do some modification on the structure's parts.
To make a simple house resistant to Earthquakes it is important that all the corners of the house (and load supporting walls) are cross braced in all directions and that the foundations are good and firm.
A concrete raft foundation and steel skeleton would also make the house more earthquake resistant.

The person who invented earthquake proof buildings was called Proffessor Boermel
a lot of money
because they make it earth quake proof dummy
yes. (1)by using wood walls to make house (2)by using earthquake reinforcement (3)by providing proper foundation of building according to earthquake zones
you can't
you can use cement to make your foundation stronger to keep it from moving or if the building is larger you can use technology that is mostly used in earth quake zones such as in California
the first earthquake proof building was first built in 1954.This was The Australian NEW Parliament House, which will not crumble, however it will collapse into itself.
No, no houseis earthquake proof.
he was an architect and he created the earthquake proof house
they use earthquake kits, MEDCs build earthquake proof buildings and use earthquake proof tables.
well in Japan they have have buildings that move side to side because of the amount of earthquakes they have. but in Japan they also have storm prove house and a house can only be storm proof or earthquake proof
dont put Hope Jamie Leigh Daniels in yur house cuz she is the earthqake
Yes, El Castillo Chichen Itza is earthquake-proof. I am not 100% sure why but I am google-ing it as I have to create an earthquake-proof structure. :P
If you live in an area prone to Earthquakes with the risk of large earthquakes and are looking for a solution to securing your houses structure, you can not do this in a "do-it-yourself" fashion. Depending on when the house was built, it likely is already built to not collapse in an earthquake if it is newer, otherwise, you would need a contractor and a lot of money to make the necessary improvements to your houses foundation and structure.
