What are the geotechnical methods used in seismic prone areas?
Pozzolanic reaction is the reaction which continue to occur as long as calcium hydroxide is present, there is sufficient water for the reaction to occur, and there is available space for the reaction products to reside.

If a building foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed. Assuming, however that the soil beneath a structure is firm and solid, engineers can greatly improve how the building foundation system will respond to seismic waves.
Another solution refers to base isolation which involves floating a building above its foundation on a system of bearings, springs or padded cylinders.
