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.

Why do Swiss chalets have rocks on the roof?
To help the chalet's sloping roof to withstand strong mountain winds. The roof's eaves extend outward away from the building to help rain and snow to slide off the rooftop, but the long eaves expose the chalet to the danger of a strong wind lifting the roof off the building. The heavy rocks assist to weigh the roof down.
How do you build a safe earthquake building?
To be earthquake proof, buildings, structures and their foundations need to be built to be resistant to sideways loads. The lighter the building is, the less the loads. This is particularly so when the weight is higher up. Where possible the roof should be of light-weight material. For more info check the link.

What are the best defenses against an earthquake?
The best defenses are shear core, base isolators, a deep foundation, shutters and cross bracing cross bracing is a system utilized to reinforce building structures in which diagonal supports intersect. Cross bracing can increase a building's capability to withstand seismic forces from an earthquake. Shutters will block out any object that will come in and will stop glass from shattering which could cause injuries or death base isolators will help a building withstand an earthquake as they sway the building the way an earthquake is going and bounces the building up and down. A deep foundation will make it more harder for a severe earthquake to take the building down and in a smaller magnitude earthquake it will hardly affect the building.
What is the opposite of the word roof?
As the roof is the top of the building, it follows that the floor would be the opposite, as it is the bottom of the building.

Over hanging edges of a roof?
The overhanging edges of a roof, also known as eaves, help to protect the walls of a building from water damage by directing rainwater away from the structure. They can also provide shade and keep the exterior of the building clean. Properly designed eaves can enhance the architecture and aesthetics of a building.
