Towers vs. Earthquakes?

Question

I need to do a project and I need info on my design vs. earthquakes....

Answer 1

Try checking out a few sites on earthquake-proofing buildings. Even wikipedia has a bare bones summary of some methods used. Search on earthquake proof or on earthquake base isolation. Here are a couple that might help.
