the first earthquake proof building was first built in 1954.This was The Australian NEW Parliament House, which will not crumble, however it will collapse into itself.

∙ 11y agoseismic-safe it is cosidered to be "earthquake proof".
because buildings built after 1960 were earthquake proof
They cost a lot of money to build.
yes its safer
seismic-safe or "earthquake proof"
They all do have laws for making a building earthquake proof.
basically there are meta rods throughout the building that act as springs to minimize damage.
Yes
Because it is safer
a lot of money
Here is an example Where?
Yes, it has resistant of 6.0 magnitude earth quake and also speed of 55m strong wind-proof built.

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.
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.
