L'une des règles fondamentales est d'éviter de construire sur une zone faillée et, en région sismique, sur des terrains en pente ou des terrains meubles, alluvions en particulier, qui entrent en résonance. 6, record 1, French, - construction%20parasismique

En la construcción antisísmica lo principal es la estructura de los edificios. [...] en Chile además de pilares y vigas, se incorporan muros de hormigón armado de varios metros de largo que recorren toda la estructura del edificio, desde el subterráneo hasta el último piso. El objetivo de estas murallas es que el inmueble sea capaz de resistir bruscos movimientos horizontales para los que no está preparado un edificio corriente que, por su volumen, peso y gravedad, está preparado para resistir sólo fuerzas verticales (que también son parte de los sismos). 3, record 1, Spanish, - construcci%C3%B3n%20antis%C3%ADsmica
