The Most Earthquake Resistant Houses

After the earthquake struck, the government usually replaces the destroyed houses with earthquake-resistant building. But, in fact most of these reconstruction houses are not really earthquake-resistant one. The houses are just to be "expected" would be more capable of rescuing residents from the dangers of the fatal fallen houses from the earthquakes. So far, the concept of earthquake resistant houses is the house that survived from earthquake shakes some time after the earthquake occurred, but not to always remain standing from the earthquake sway. The main objective is to save the inhabitants by giving a chance to protect or to run away from the fallen debris. The house may collapse, but it must have a lag time. Not an immediate collapse.

Is there any house really earthquake resistant? The answer is YES.

The building type is just similar with what we called as non-permanent buildings. The main principle of the buildings to deal with earthquakes is just not to directly connect to the source of shaking, the earth. The other principle is to lightweight as possible.

The fully earthquake resistant houses are:

Balloon House
The purpose of balloon house is to make building floating in space. Regardless of how strong the quake would not affect this house. This is the most ideal of anti-quake houses!

Raft House
Rafts houses, as well as the balloon house, avoiding direct connection to the earth. Instead of air, raft house used water media. As long as not followed by tsunami, this house is very safe against earthquake shocks.

Tree Houses
A tree house is also aimed at lifting the house from the earth. Rare trees uprooted in the event of an earthquake until the earthquake is followed by landslide or very strong in magnitude. The type and rigidity/flexibility of tree is very influential in this regard.

Moving house
Mobile homes or caravans are the other options to minimize the influence of earthquake shocks. The wheels will make the house easier to move when an earthquake happens, so the house will not be destroyed.

Lightweight Houses
Lightweight house will also be able to withstand to earthquake shocks. The formula F = MA will directly influence the light houses.

So, is your house one of these the most earthquake resistant one?
