We will also introduce the differences between seismic resistance, seismic control, and seismic isolation, which contribute to reducing damage during an earthquake!

In Japan, where earthquakes are frequent, "building earthquake-resistant homes" is essential to protect the lives and livelihoods of families. This article comprehensively explains the characteristics of earthquake-resistant homes, including simple house shapes and floor plan innovations with minimal protrusions, building structures, ground measures, and the concept of seismic resistance levels. Additionally, it introduces the latest earthquake countermeasures implemented by house manufacturers and construction companies, as well as methods to reinforce vulnerable homes, based on past earthquake damage cases. We will also clearly explain the differences between "seismic resistance," "vibration control," and "base isolation," so whether you are planning to build a new home or considering a renovation, please use this as a reference. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links. For more information, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
