Earthquake-resistant houses have basically the following characteristics:
1. If there is a small earthquake, structural and non structural parts will not experiencing the slightest damage.
2. If there is a medium earthquake, non-structural parts can be damaged while the structure is not damaged.
3. If there is a big earthquake , some structures may be damaged but do not cause the collapse of the entire building so that residents have time to save themselves.

Earthquake-Resistant House is identical with a stable structure. Things to consider to obtain a stable structure:
1.Make a blueprint of   simple house plans + symmetrical and avoid irregular shapes.
2.Notice the needs  in structures, especially the material specification conformity, not just focus on finishing and aesthetics for home.
3. Installation of anchors on the connection between columns and beams , columns and walls,  ringbalk and easel.

In addition to the above, the increasing number of  building materials which lighter for wall, ceiling of the house, or roof of a house can be chosen to minimize the damage.
