EVALUATION OF EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING IN THE 2011 OFF THE PACIFIC COAST OF TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE

Abstract

In Tokyo, the 32-story reinforced concrete building with a multi-level car parking tower was constructed in 2000, and earthquake observation has been performed since the completion. During the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, the maximum acceleration over 300 cm/s2 was recorded in this building. The non-linear earthquake response analysis based on the earthquake observation records was performed, and good correlations were obtained between the records and the analysis results.
