2nd Example of aseismic techniques around our lives

Earthquakes are happen everywhere, it's not only happened in Japan. Therefore, different regions have different aseismic techniques.

For example, there is a special aseismic design in Taiwan. People in Taiwan use the technology of partition which is a method to disperse the energy of earthquake. Basically, partition technology are used between walls and pillar in oreder to reduce the energy of earthqake and increase the tractility of walls and pillar.

Also, the use of partition is not only for prevent the damage of earthquake, but also can be flameproof wall and soundproof wall. In fact, it's really convenient for construction activity.
