The ability of a building to withstand the stress of an earthquake depends
upon its type of construction, shape, mass distribution, and rigidity. Different
combinations are used. To reduce stress, first, the building's ground floor must be
flexible. One method is to support the ground floor with extremely rigid, hollow
columns, while the rest of the building is supported by flexible columns located
inside the hollow columns. A different method is to use rollers or rubber pads to
separate the base columns from the ground, allowing the columns to shake parallel
during an earthquake. Next, the outdoor walls should be made with stronger and
more reinforced materials such as steel or reinforced concrete. Then, to help prevent
collapsing, the roof should be made out of light-weight materials.
