The indoor damages and shaking of high-rise residential buildings to pulse-type ground motions are investigated using questionnaire survey to residents after the 2018 Hualien, Taiwan, earthquake. Answers are compiled by three levels of stories in each building. Intensity of floor shaking and action difficulty in the northeast area are the strongest among three areas. Indoor damages including height-wise distribution of wall paper cracks were similar to those of the 2016 Kumamoto where pulse-like ground motions hit to high-rise buildings, rather than those in the Kanto area during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
