| Summary | It is pointed out that large earthquakes such as the Tonankai and the Nankai earthquakes will certainly occur in the near future. On these large earthquake events, existing high-rise buildings in urban areas will be subjected to sever earthquake ground motions with long predominant periods. This research aims to verify safety and security of these high-rise buildings. |
