In designing buildings to be erected in an area prone to earthquakes, what are the things that you need to consider?

In an earthquake prone area, the things that are needed to be considered for the buildings to stand constant and no cause of damages are as follows-

The foundation of the building must be made strong, using large amount of concretes so that it can hold the entire load of the building. The pillars of the buildings are also should be firmed, rigid, strong and thick. The buildings are needed to be construct in such a way that during any seismic event, the forces can be redistributed easily through the body of the building without causing any damage. The buildings must be overall comprised of holding high strength and stiffness.
