In the Niigata earthquake in Japan, there was a wide range of styles of structure collapse and survival. On Google there are assembled a good set of photos from various sources. Note particularly the group of medium rise housing. Some blocks are intact, some are structurally sound - apart from lying on their back that is! And some in between. The bridge photos show 'progressive collapse' quite well.

Some examples of buildings that have survived earthquakes include the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, and the Torre Mayor in Mexico City. These buildings were designed with advanced engineering techniques and materials to withstand the forces of an earthquake.
