bettered piles are significantly reduces the lateral loads. but remember it makes your building very stiff. i mean very very stiff.
it can be harmful. You decide to fight agains a nature forces, not just follow it.
Remember strong tree are easy to fall against the strong wind than the skinny...

If do you use Euler Benoulli beam, you must know that Euler Bernoulli beam is neglecting the shear transverse effect. The Timoshenko hencky beam is calculating the shear transverse effect but is haveing the shear locking for tall beam. I recommended Timoshenko variant "Discrete Shear Beam"...
