    Nothing is earthquake “proof”, they are made to be less susceptible to earthquake damage. Most bridges are made of steel and concrete. Some are made of wood, but not too many anymore.

    Do forensic studies on bridges that have gone through eartquakes, both those that failed and those that survived.
