What metal can withstand a strong earthquake?
This is not necessarily a question of the type of metal but of the specific structures range of motion. Structures built for withstanding earthquakes often incorporate springs in the foundation of the structure which allows the foundation to move during an earthquake causing shaking but preventing the structure from suffering more catastrophic failures like cracking and buckling or total collapse which would be death sentences for all those inside.
