- Earthquake Proofing
- Deep foundations, so that the structure moves with the foundations
- Japan now put rubber foundations, so it acts like a shock absorber
- Waterproof membrance to stop liqufication
- 'Temporary transformation of a soil mass of soil or sediment into a fluid mass'
- Counterweights on roof
- - Steel crossbracing (1/3 more steel, much better reinfocrement of the concrete)
- Windows made out of safety glass
- LEDC's use wooden building rather than brick buildings, because they are much stronger.
- wooden buildings will flex more and mover and so withstand movement, but theproblem with wood is that it burns .
