Now, see, if you built a building at the epicenter of an earthquake, no matter what what ground is there, the building will inevitably collapse. Near an earthquake's epicenter, though, is a different story. The best ground would definitely be solid, packed soil. The best foundation for a building would be isolated, unless you had a smaller building like a house, which would be better off with an anchored foundation. The best type of building would have steel frame crossties-only on a skyscraper or tall, large office building like in New York, though.
