How does technology make buildings more safe to be in during an earthquake?

well, technology has been around for a long time and is quite strong but in earthquakes still it is strong. for example the Japanese tower tallest tower in the world in, they built a big ball and it makes the tower move with the earthquake which makes it impossible for it to fall.

∙ 14y agoAt this point, technology can't prevent earthquakes. Earthquakes result from processes that find their origins deep inside the earth and that humans can't control at this point. But at the same time, technology may help predict the likelihood of an earthquake's occurrence and thereby help minimize the damage through earthquake resistant construction and emergency preparedness.

What factors make an earthquake deadly?
If I were in the middle of a grass field during an earthquake, then probably nothing bad would happen to me, I wouldn't get injured. However, if I were in the middle of a shopping mall, with 5 tons of concrete above my head... different story... To put it short: stability of the buildings is crucial. So is the density of the population. If buildings collapse easily, and if there are many people in the given region, then the results of an earthquake can be pretty bad...
What damage do earthquakes do to buildings and roads?
It matters what earthquake it is it can be a volcanic earthquake that would make the road messed up and it all matters about the magnitude that is what makes trouble. so it matters about two things what kind of earthquake and the magnitude. Reporter Delton
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocesn waves; they usually cause the most damage during the earthquake
Why are earthquacks in poor coutries more than rich countries?
In poorer countries they have a small budget so how much they spend is very important. Since they have a small budget and need to make it last the quality of the material used is low. This makes the buildings poorly built and not well supported. Buildings are not made to withstanding side to side movements and so topple over. This causes building to fall over by either the earthquake itself or the aftershocks. When buildings fall people die
How do you make a earthquake alarm model?
how to make a simple earthquake alarm
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 they earthquake proof buildings?
The build the buildings up strong and they make sure that the doorways are nice and sturdy
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.

Is it possible to build earthquake proof buildings and how?
yes. (1)by using wood walls to make house (2)by using earthquake reinforcement (3)by providing proper foundation of building according to earthquake zones
How has architects tried to design earthquake proof high rise buildings?
because they make it earth quake proof dummy
How will improvements in technology effect economics in the future?
Well we make better infrastructure and better buildings.
How do you save peoples live during earthquake?
you make sure that everyone is as far away from any tall buildings as possible. Keep them in a field if possible. Trees and rocks on cliffs are very dangerous and can fall on people underneath them.

How did the distance of the epicenter of Chile's earthquake the local geology and the construction affect of the earthquake?
because the buildings fall and the scientist have to learn how to make better ones so in the future they know what building is better
Why is this important for us to identify ares which are prone to earthquake?
So as to avoid them. So as to make building regulations requiring buildings to be earthquake proof. So as to know where emergency resources ma need to be deployed.
