This paper verified the seismic performance of low-rise reinforced concrete buildings in metropolitan area, designed by Lateral Load Carrying Capacity. The validation target is rigid frame structures and boxed wall structures. In the verification, profile of the grounds and interaction between the ground and structure are considered. The paper concludes that the response of the buildings is significantly affected by the ground profiles, height of the buildings and deformability of the buildings. Finally, the paper indicates the map showing their risk index based on the relationship between their deformability of buildings and response drift angle.
