How can the use of seismic monitoring systems improve earthquake-resistant building design?

Seismic monitoring systems can improve earthquake-resistant building design by providing real-time information on ground motions and building response during earthquakes. This information can be used to assess building performance and identify vulnerabilities or deficiencies in the building’s seismic design. Seismic monitoring systems can also be used to trigger alerts and emergency response measures in the event of an earthquake. This can help protect building occupants and minimize damage to the structure. Additionally, the data collected from seismic monitoring systems can be used to improve future earthquake-resistant building designs and inform the development of building codes and regulations.
