Seismic Resilience of Modular Lattice Towers

Design a self-supporting vertical structure at least 40cm tall that utilizes a braced-frame geometry to resist lateral shear loads. Your structure must support a 500g eccentric mass at the apex while enduring a 30-second simulated harmonic oscillation test at varying base frequencies. You must prioritize material efficiency and calculate your displacement-to-height ratio before and after the vibration test.
