Earthquake Proof Building Essay, Research Paper

Our company name is CNN Incorporated. The first thing we did was dig up all the soft soil and filled it with cement. After that we stuck big steel poles into the cement to hold the building in place and keep it on the ground.

The actual building is not set directly over the parking garage. The reason we didn?t set the building on the garage is to make the whole thing more stable.
