not to mention, a lot of really tall skyscrapers have tuned mass dampeners to further reduce sway.

I went through a 6.0 in a 4 story apartment building and boy lemme tell ya that shit was sketchy Remember being in the hall and looking into my bedroom and being utterly confused as to where my bed had gone. Then I saw the room just…sway into view, center in the doorway, then sway back out of view Sucks

The support feet on the smaller one are orientated opposite of the shaking and the feet on the taller one aren't. That's why lol if you built it right it wouldn't be like that.

I would suggest looking into vibration dynamics, especially within civil engineering. I can assure you, the orientation of the feet has little impact on how it vibrates and sways.

No, it's just that because of how many large buildings are affected by earthquakes they have added protections in their engineering where most 1-3 story buildings don't need it. Tall skyscrapers tend to be a much bigger investment and pose a much greater risk should they fail in comparison to a 2 story building. In his demonstration he also has the legs installed in opposite planes for the smaller building vs the larger which is why the effect seems so dramatic. Things like building materials and weight also come into factor, but really the concept of how the shaking affects higher floors is one of the biggest challenges. The best way to visualize it is to put a tennis ball at the end of a 6' pole. At the base of the pole move it a few ° and look at the distance the ball moves. That effect gets more and more amplified the farther away the end point is from the ground. But as far as the short vs tall comparison, I actually was a superintendent on building Apple's new amazing campus and the amount of proprietary tech in the building is unfathomable. The building is only 4 stories above ground and 2 below and shaped like a giant circle but because it's in California they build the entire thing essentially on a giant set of 6' wide ballbearings that allow the whole building to sway. Just looking at California as a whole there is also a reason why most buildings are only a few stories tall with the exception of specialized buildings in major cities.

But yea, speak on something you know nothing about.
