How tall can buildings be to withstand an earthquake?
Its not about the hight of the building its about the shape of the building. The building should be a triangle shape with a wide base and a narrow point; to help with stand a earthquake there is normally a tank of water at the top because if the building starts shaking the water would go in the oposite direction of where the building goes. Also at the bottom there should be large springs to allow the building to sway a little because if it is firm and still presure will build up and the building will collapse
What are ways that cities and governments can help people be safe during an earthquake?
- developing proper earthquake early warning system--effective disaster management mechanism--Future earthquakes can't be avoided, but preparedness and safe building construction practices can certainly reduce the extent of damage and loss.--remedial measures to be taken for structural safety and knowledge of what should be done before, during and after an earthquake.--prevention is always better --so new settlements should not be built at earthquake prone zonesthe government can help by making more structural buildings or even giving us earlier warnings to preparego to the high building
What Cause and effect of earthquake and its prevention?
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic waves that shake the ground. This can be due to movement along fault lines or volcanic activity. To prevent the devastating effects of earthquakes, building codes should be enforced to ensure structures are earthquake-resistant, emergency response plans should be in place, and public education on earthquake preparedness is crucial.
Are you safest staying inside a building when an earthquake occurs?
the second an Earthquake hits you should run as fast as you can to a doorway (for example the Kitchen, Living room or a Bedroom and wait there until the Earthquake passes so that nothing heavy falls on you if a big Earthquake... that's what I did when we had an Earthquake in 2000, again in 2008 I think and again in 2010 and as far as the Earthquake in 2000 that we had goes I was sleeping that morning on January 1st 2000 when I heard a noise from very far so I rushed out of bed and somehow knew an Earthquake was coming and as soon as I rushed in my Bedroom doorway the whole house started shaking like crazy lol!!!.
How can an earthquake be stopped by destroying a house or factory?
Destroying a single house or factory cannot stop an earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which release energy in the form of seismic waves. To prevent earthquake damage, structural reinforcement and building codes should be implemented.
Any building that wish to survive a substantial earthquake should be able to do this?
Any building that wish to survive a substantial earthquake should be able to sway. Most buildings in Japan are constructed with isolation bearings, that allow the buildings to sway from side to side during an earthquake.
What should you avoid in an earthquake?
In an earthquake, you should avoid being inside of a building. You should also avoid being around anything that could fall and hurt you.
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
How can you know that your building is earthquake resistant or not?
You can know if your building is earthquake-resistant by checking if it was constructed following seismic building codes, using flexible materials, and having proper structural reinforcements like shear walls and braces. An evaluation by a structural engineer can also determine the building's earthquake resistance through a seismic assessment. Regular maintenance and retrofitting can help improve a building's earthquake resilience over time.
Should people leave the school building as soon as an earthquake strikes?
Well...it depends when on the situation you are in. If you are not sure, my best advice is to listen to what earthquake experts say:-)

Preventions to be taken during an earthquake?
When builders are making a building they should make the foundations strong and stable so the buildings dont fall
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 steps should a civil engineer take when constructing a building in an earthquake prone area?
First the engineer should appraise himself of any building codes that have to be followed. These will require the building to be hardened against earthquakes and the engineer must ensure his building design and construction method/quality meets these codes. The engineer may also choose (with the customer for the building) to protect the building even further. Such protection may include isolating the building form its foundations with dampers and perhaps installing a counter mass in a tall building. All these additions would need to be computer modeled and scale tested to ensure they were effective for the type of ground movement expects.
Should laws say that building built near faults must be earthquake proof?
Because it is safer
What are important contents of building insurances one should have an eye on?
The important contents of building insurances one should have an eye on are how much premium rates one must pay monthly or yearly and how much is the insured value of the building in case of calamities like fire, typhoon, flood, earthquake, etc.
What to do when an earthquake is orgared?
you should run when an earthquake is orgared
