What is the process called that makes older structures more earthquake resistant?
Retrofitting is the process of making older structures more earthquake resistant.
What material is the most earthquake resistant?
Granite
Who invented earthquake resistant buildings?
The person who invented earthquake proof buildings was called Proffessor Boermel
How can you know that your building is earthquake resistant or not?
it should be checked by the contractor
What is an example of mitigation activities?
Building earthquake-resistant structures n earthquake zones is a mitigation activity.

What is the best type of earthquake resistant bracing for a building?
The main noticing thing is the earthquake level of the place and also the distance from the sea.
What is an example of a mitigation activity?
An example of a mitigation activity is installing a flood barrier to reduce the impact of flooding on a community. This proactive measure helps prevent damage to properties and infrastructure by diverting or containing floodwaters.
What can you do to prepare yourself for an earthquake?
There not much to do its unexpected you should live in a building in the lower floors and the building should have earth resistant movement
Is Burj Dubai an earthquake resistant building?
Yes, it has resistant of 6.0 magnitude earth quake and also speed of 55m strong wind-proof built.
If you were going to construct an earthquake resistant building what materials would you use and why?
This would depend on what size, type of building you are going to build. If it was a house I would build a timber one because it would flex in an earthquake
How earthquake-reistant are steel building systems?
That depends upon the building codes where the building was constructed and how old it is. In California nothing can be constructed without being resistant to Earthquake damage. Elsewhere there might be no such restrictions as quakes would be unknown. Generally speaking a steel building will be resistant to a earth quake up to a 7.0 magnitude. Some states do require more rigid buildigs due to quake frequecey.
What is a seismic safe building?
No building is seismic safe. No building is earthquake proof. However, there are steps that can be taken to make buildings more earthquake resistant. Concrete buildings made without rebar will collapse in an earthquake. Concrete buildings and concrete block buildings in Guatemala that hold up in earthquakes are those that use a lot of rebar. It is also important to use metal straps to tie the roof to the walls. The straps are inexpensive, but they maintain the integrity of the building. The roof should have cross pieces.
