Earthquake-proofing a building is all about putting extra measures in place to ensure a building avoids as much damage as possible. Technically, ‘proof’ isn’t the word to describe these measures, earthquake-resistant should be used instead as most buildings still come away from an earthquake or cyclone with minor damage. However, the difference in an earthquake-proof building and a building that is not protected lies in the potential damage to the core of the structure, which in turn can risk the safety of everyone in the building.

The 5 key features of any earthquake-proof building across the globe are:

1. Stiffness

2. Multiple safety strategies

3. Foundations

4. Cross braces

5. Materials

Earthquake-proofing is a common part of designing buildings in countries, states and regions where they are regular occurrences, such as California, South East Asia and Chile. Because of this, the research on the subject is thorough and well tested over the past century. Some of the tallest buildings in the world are designed to withstand earthquakes of up to 8.0 on the Richter scale. Below we’ll go through the five key features of earthquake-proof buildings.
