preventive measures to be taken to resist earthquake in terms of detailing of reinforcements (ductlity, confinements, etc) and increased sectional properties of concrete memers, etc.. If the building is said to be EQ resistant building, it means EQ loads are to be included in the analysis and design..and the same should be implemented in to the site/construction.
Build it underground.
by using science and the materials
Damp Proof Course is one meaning.
a lot of money

Yes, proof of ownership is required for building insurance. This is mainly because the insurance company needs to know who to rightly credit in case of any disasters or significant damage to the building and possessions within.
prevent moisture from caving into a building
While the Empire State Building was not specifically designed to be earthquake proof, it is considered to be structurally resilient due to its steel frame construction. The building has also undergone renovations and retrofitting to improve its ability to withstand seismic activity.
The first earthquake-proof building, known as the 'Torre Latinoamericana', was built in Mexico City in 1956. It has since withstood several earthquakes and serves as a model for earthquake-resistant design in high-risk areas.
earthquakes and stuff blah blee blah blah blah hippy hop earthquakes
If you are building a load bearing structure you have to know how much load it will bear. If you are building a water proof structure such as a roof, you have to know if the material is actually water proof. And so forth.
No. You can help fire proof a building. But there is always a chance it can catch on fire somehow. Fire sprinklers are only used to keep the fire under control so it doesn't spread...they are not used to put the fire entirely out. Firefighters are for that. Anything that you use to fire proof a building is only used to keep the fire under control until the Firefighters arrive. The closest you can get to a fireproof building is a brick one with a terracotta tile roof.
