There are no building standards for structures that include designs for withstanding volcanic action. If a building could somehow survive the blast and the intense heat as well as seal out the toxic gas, it would have to withstand being buried in molten lava.

∙ 13y agoIf you live in an earthquake zone then you would be best helped if you can sit down in a room with an architect who knows about earthquakes, and a trade qualified builder with similar experience, knowledge, training, and skill to the architect. These are the people who know which buildings will survive an earthquake in your area and know what will fall down in a slight breath of wind. Most people want the earthquake safe type of building.

Why don't skyscrapers get blown over?
Skyscrapers contain large central pillars that extend all the way underground. In addition these pillars are joined to strong cement foundation under the ground that prevents them from sliding around.
What does a building code refer to?

What is built by undersea volcanoes?
Some islands may be built by undersea volcanoes.
What can be done when a new home is being built to prevent damage caused by liquefaction?
to reduce earthquake damage, new buildings must be made stronger and more flexible. older buildings however must be modified to withstand stronger earthquakes
How does tectonic activity affect life in the western US?
Tectonic activity in the western states is responsible for numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Buildings are constructed to withstand quakes and a careful watch is kept on all active volcanoes.

Many Antarctic research stations appear similarly: individual buildings sitting on foundations built to withstand katabatic winds and extreme cold.
Why do earthquakes destroy some buildings and not others?
Daring an earthquake, the ground shakes, twists, and heaves, causing buildings to move. Houses can shift on their foundations, crack, and tumble to the ground. Some buildings, however, are built to withstand violent earthquakes. Some are also braced with special materials to keep them standing.
What are intelligent buildings designed to do?
to withstand the strains placed upon them by an earthquake
