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.
