The building’s resistant properties are considered one of the most important issues in construction. An earthquake is one of those natural events that can never be predicted. The moment an earthquake occurs, it causes the greatest amount of damage to resistant buildings in the world. For this reason, one of the most important human concerns is to build a building that is strong, earthquake-resistant and has high resistance.
With many advances made by humanity in his lifetime and in the field of building strengthening science, he was able to make the building’s skeleton resistant to earthquakes by following the basic principles of engineering to the extent that it can withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of seven. . But there is still no building that can withstand strong, long-term earthquakes without being damaged.
Iran is one of the earthquake-prone countries, and we have all experienced earthquakes from time to time throughout our lives. And perhaps we were also present in the place where the major earthquakes occurred. You must have seen at least the Bam earthquake and Kermanshah earthquake on TV.
In fact, it is not the earthquake that causes the death of thousands of people, but the main reason for the death of thousands of innocent people is that non-standard and non-engineering buildings are built, which collapse with the slightest vibration on people’s heads and cause disasters to occur.
Features of an earthquake-resistant building
Among the characteristics of earthquake-resistant buildings in the world we mention the following
Lightness of the building
The first advantage is the lightness of the building. Bricks or concrete blocks are less resistant to earthquakes due to their heavy weight. In other words, the lighter the building material, the stronger the building.
When the earthquake starts in this model, the building walls collapse quickly and the roof falls very quickly, so if the materials used in the building are light and modular, it will greatly improve the building’s resistance against the earthquake.

Why do buildings need to be strengthened?
The need for building strength made all the world’s engineers try to build earthquake-resistant buildings.
So they are all looking for a common goal, and that goal is to save human lives, and then to preserve historical relics and prevent financial damage to people.
Bhikran Sazan Company is one of the active companies in this field.
Five earthquake-resistant buildings in the world
Here we mention some of the most famous earthquake-resistant buildings in the world, which are distinguished by their extreme resistance.
Utah State Capitol Building
Sabiha Gokcen International Airport
Taipei 101 Building – This building, which is a global commercial center and is known as Taipei, has been well reinforced
Burj Khalifa – Burj Khalifa is the tallest industrial building in Dubai.
Yokohama Tower is the second tallest building in Japan
Bank of America Tower – This tower is located in Los Angeles, California.
There are other earthquake-proof buildings as follows, of which we only mention their names.
Transamerica Pyramid, San Francisco
Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur
Rincon Hill South Tower, San Francisco
conclusion
Building a resistant building is more important than the building itself, because if the building is not built on the principles of building strengthening, it can cause a lot of damage.
