In terms of earthquake protection it is best to construct a building on?
In terms of earthquake protection it is best to construct a building on?
What kind of shaking can a building withstand the best in an earthquake?
Most buildings can withstand vertical shaking
Is it better to have a building on soft sand or hard rock at the epicenter of an earthquake?
Now, see, if you built a building at the epicenter of an earthquake, no matter what what ground is there, the building will inevitably collapse. Near an earthquake's epicenter, though, is a different story. The best ground would definitely be solid, packed soil. The best foundation for a building would be isolated, unless you had a smaller building like a house, which would be better off with an anchored foundation. The best type of building would have steel frame crossties-only on a skyscraper or tall, large office building like in New York, though.
How can geologists help people who live in areas that plates are known to be moving?
The best a geologist can do is be honest about the likelihood of an earthquake occurring in that region. They can also advise homebuilders in earthquake-safe design and construction, and offer tips for earthquake readiness in existing homes.
What earthquake magnitude can a brick building withstand?
it all depends on the material that they build there building. In this case a brick building can resist if it has a good foundation of ground if not it could collapse. My best guess is less than 7.o or 6.6.

What is the best type of earthquake resistant bracing for a building?
The main noticing thing is the earthquake level of the place and also the distance from the sea.
What are the best defenses against an earthquake?
The best defenses are shear core, base isolators, a deep foundation, shutters and cross bracing cross bracing is a system utilized to reinforce building structures in which diagonal supports intersect. Cross bracing can increase a building's capability to withstand seismic forces from an earthquake. Shutters will block out any object that will come in and will stop glass from shattering which could cause injuries or death base isolators will help a building withstand an earthquake as they sway the building the way an earthquake is going and bounces the building up and down. A deep foundation will make it more harder for a severe earthquake to take the building down and in a smaller magnitude earthquake it will hardly affect the building.

Should people leave the school building as soon as an earthquake strikes?
Well...it depends when on the situation you are in. If you are not sure, my best advice is to listen to what earthquake experts say:-)

What are the best places indoors and outdoors to be in a eartquake?
One of the best places to be during a earthquake is inside. But to have a better chance of survival go in a strong building e.g. a airport, a tall, strong building, castle, offices ect.
