What has been done to make structures more seismic safe?

to make structure more seismic safe, the following are done:
1. the foundation is made deeper so it will anchor to the ground more, and will make the structure more stable during seismic activity.
2. concrete building frames are braces so that it will not shake during seismic activity
3. and the panels of the structures are also cross-braced

In order to make structures more seismic safe there are various ways by which one can build earthquake resistance structures which are far better than conventional ones.

The pyramidal or triangular shape structures contain less number of sides.A structure containing less number of sides frames greater resistance shape.

A rigid structure is more crumble and is more prone to annihilation.So the structure should be flexible.If we compare a taller building with a shorter one,the tall structure is more flexible.The shorter builds can not withstand the force of earth quakes.

During the construction of buildings,one should introduce the foundational plates .The layered foundational plates help buildings or other structures from destruction as they allow the sliding movement of the earth quake.
