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.

A building able to stand up against an earthquake is considered to be?
seismic-safe it is cosidered to be "earthquake proof".
Why did some of the buildings survive the Kobe earthquake and some did'NT?
because buildings built after 1960 were earthquake proof
Why are earthquake proof building hard to make?
They cost a lot of money to build.
Should buildings built near fault lines be earthquake proof?
yes its safer
A building able to stand up against an earhtquake is considered to be a what?
seismic-safe or "earthquake proof"
Should laws say that buildings built near faults must be earthquake proof explain?
They all do have laws for making a building earthquake proof.
What goes into earthquake proof buildings?
basically there are meta rods throughout the building that act as springs to minimize damage.

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.
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.
