The March 11, 2011 M=9.0 Great East Japan generated long duration strong shaking that affected the performance of tall buildings and other long-period structures, hundreds of km distant from the epicenter. The records obtained from a 9-story building that was damaged during the earthquake are of great interest to the engineering community. The historical record of the building is interesting due to repeated cycles of being damaged during an earthquake and subsequent retrofit that include the Gre
