How to turn a shop into a house?

Yes. I don't see why not. It would also depend on the size and structure of the shop and what is willing to be spent in order to refurbish or modify the structure.

What is the best material for an earthquake proof foundation for a house?

Houses can only be made to resist earthquakes. They can only be designed and constructed to permit a minimum amount of damage when a quake hits. A big enough quake will destroy about any structure. It may be possible to build an "earthquake proof" house by making it extremely small and building it out of moderately thick reinforced concrete, welded plate steel or something like that which is both strong and rigid. If an appropriately designed structure was sitting on an appropriate pad (but separate from it), a huge quake would only succeed in moving the house around because it would be too small and strong to "break" under the stress. If such a structure was built, a quake would probably, at most, shear off (or tear off flexible) water, gas and waste water lines while making a mess out of the inside.A structure like the one described would probably be minimally functional and no fun to live in. It may be possible to engineer a "floating" rigid structure out of other materials, but anything on this order would cost a mint. You might always build the whole thing out of rubber and dump the rigid idea. That way when the shaking stops, everything returns to its normal shape. Everything on the inside would be a mess, though. Those (the completely rigid and "unbreakable" structure or the completely "flexible" one) are the two ideas that will withstand a quake. Combining the two will involve trade-offs that will almost certainly defeat the project. Think about this problem and you may come up with other ideas. They are also are made of steel, fiber glass, and woodcarboardstealyour mom's apronshoe laces in stress points


What does this quote mean One does not talk architecture while the house is on fire and the tenant are still inside?

When the house is on fire, the primary focus of everybody's attention is getting the people safely out of the building and the fire put out. It would be foolish and dangerous to talk about rebuilding the house (which is where the architect would come in) until the people are safe and the embers cooled. More generally, it's saying "Pay attention to the immediate problem before you worry about the long-range problems."

How do you make your home earthquake proof?

If you live in an area prone to Earthquakes with the risk of large earthquakes and are looking for a solution to securing your houses structure, you can not do this in a "do-it-yourself" fashion. Depending on when the house was built, it likely is already built to not collapse in an earthquake if it is newer, otherwise, you would need a contractor and a lot of money to make the necessary improvements to your houses foundation and structure.


Which can with stand an earthquake high rise steal frame hotel built on sediment or wood frame house built on bed rock?

There can be no earthquake proof building. To build such a structure would be prohibitively expensive.In the recent Christchurch earthquake, the peak ground acceleration was over 2 g. To design for this is not economically feasible.And as the question suggests, the survival of a building/structure is a property of both the structure itself, and the ground on which it stands.


How much would it cost to get trampoline floors put in your room?

Depending on the size of your room.It doesn't matter how much it would cost because the way houses are constructed.

The house is framed onto the foundation that makes the floors.
