Brick walls are not designed to prevent building collapse during an earthquake. They are more likely to collapse or suffer serious damage during an earthquake, and therefore, buildings with brick walls need to be reinforced and strengthened using other techniques like those mentioned in options A, B, and C. Option E, adding buttresses, is a reinforcement method that can be used to stabilize and strengthen existing structures, but it is not as effective in preventing building collapse during an earthquake as options A, B, and C.
