The invention discloses an earthquake-resistant building. The earthquake-resistant building is characterized in that a bearing column is arranged in the center of the building, a concrete ring beam isarranged on the periphery of the top bearing column, concrete connecting beams are arranged between the bearing column and the concrete ring beam, a T-shaped pull rod is arranged in the middle of each concrete connecting beam and connected with the concrete ring beam, and steel pulling cables are arranged between the concrete ring beam and concrete edge beams and located at joints of concrete columns and the concrete edge beams and midspan positions of the concrete edge beams; earthquake-resistant damping blocks are arranged in the 200-mm range below the joints of the concrete columns and theconcrete edge beams, preformed holes with depth being 25-30 mm are formed in a foundation, and round steel bearings are arranged in the centers of the lower parts of the preformed holes. The earthquake-resistant building is good in safety and high in bearing capacity.
