Earlier in the year we did a lab and designed, what we thought, was the most earthquake resistant building. It's basically impossible to build a structure that can completely withstand an earthquake, but it is possible to make a building move with the sesmic waves.
Some buildings, even if they are poorly build, can hold up to a few layers of snow but it is difficult for some buildings to handle sudden movements.
