Steel Structures are Good at Resisting Earthquakes.

Reason: The paramount importance of ductility. Flexibility and low weight.

Steel structures are considered mostly earthquake resistant due to withstanding tension, bearing resistance in the inelastic range and ductility which may be observed in a material itself, in a structural element, or to a whole structure.

Steel structure because steel can with stand tension and having yeilding capacity to resist rupture against lateral movements.
