Indonesia is located right on the equator, it makes Indonesia has a natural wealth of flora and fauna. Indonesia has so many natural products. However, apart from a wide variety of natural resources, Indonesia is also a country that frequently occurs in earthquakes. Earthquakes occur due to many factors such as mountains or shifts in the earth’s plates.

The occurrence of natural disasters requires us to be prepared for everything that happens next. Of course, we don’t want natural disasters to ruin our lives. One of the preparations we have to do is to make our house an earthquake-resistant building. Earthquake resistant buildings will minimize our losses when a disaster occurs.

We cannot avoid natural disasters, but at least we can minimize the impact. The most dangerous impact is to cause victims. Avoiding casualties is by making earthquake-resistant buildings. A good structure is a structure that can withstand and respond to shocks so that it does not collapse.

The construction of earthquake-resistant buildings must take into account and analyze the use of materials, placement of structures, and loads. When you want to build, you should first consult with experienced construction services and suppliers in order to get maximum results.

 

These are several things you need to consider when building earthquake-resistant buildings

 

1. Foundation

The foundation’s function to transmit loads to the ground and is an important structure in a building.

2. Concrete

You can make concrete by mixing sand, gravel, water, and cement. The application of concrete must meet the standards to be sturdy and earthquake resistant.

3. Reinforce concrete

Producing a well-reinforced concrete requires a vibrator.

4. Lightweight materials

You should choose your materials wisely for the house. Do not use materials that increase the load on the building.

5. The constructs are tied to each other

The connection of the foundation and other parts in the house must be connected properly. When it is properly tied up, the house will become stronger and can distribute the earthquake load evenly
