How can the use of precast concrete improve earthquake-resistant building design?

Precast concrete can improve earthquake-resistant building design by providing high-strength, high-quality structural elements that are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site. Precast concrete elements can be designed and tested to ensure that they meet seismic performance standards, and their modular nature can allow for rapid construction and reduced on-site labor costs. Additionally, precast concrete can be used in combination with other techniques, like base isolation or shear walls, to improve building performance during earthquakes.
