According to the geologist Cheng Horng Lin, from the National Taiwan Normal University, the stress from the skyscraper may have reopened an ancient earthquake fault. If he is right, then it raises concerns about proposals such as Sky City 1000 in Japan, the vertical city that has been proposed to solve Tokyo's housing problems. And it is not just skyscrapers that are a problem. Dams and underground waste deposits may also cause rumblings if they become too large.I think that the considerable stress might be transferred into the upper crust due to the extremely soft sedimentary rocks beneath the Taipei basin. Deeper down this may have reopened an old earthquake fault

can be placed between the ground and building.These bearings act as a buffer to prevent the building from shaking too much during an earthquake.When an earthquake occurs, base isolation bearings absorb the force of the earthquake and reduces the movement of the building.

acts as a shock absorber for some of the seismic energy released during an earthquake.Damping devices also act as counterweights which move in the direction opposite to the motion of an earthquake. They prevent a building from swaying too much and collapsing.

-Can reduce the collapse of buildings and minimise the damage caused by an earthquake
-Roads, bridges and dams can be built to resist the shaking of the ground so that they do not collapse, or can be easily repaired if they collapsed
-Homes, office buildings and factories can be fitted with trip switches that ensure all electrical points are switched off in the event of an earthquake.This measure prevents fires from breaking out. Like for example in Japan, machines in many factories automatically shut down when they sense earthquake vibrations.
-It also includes fewer lives lost, faster rescue and evacuations and less money spent on recovery or the affected areas.

Needs to be developed with advanced engineering to withstand the vibration associated with an earthquake.

Taipei 101 is designed to withstand the typhoon winds and earthquake tremors that are common in the area east of Taiwan. Evergreen Consulting Engineering, the structural engineer, designed taipei 101 to withstand gale winds of 60 metres per second (197 ft/s), (216 km/h or 134 mph), as well as the strongest earthquakes in a 2,500-year cycle.

Taipei 101 was designed to be flexible as well as structurally resistant, because while flexibility prevents structural damage, resistance ensures comfort for the occupants and for the protection of glass, curtain walls , and other features.Most designs achieve the necessary strength by enlarging critical structural elements such as bracing.
