This paper presents seismic performance of buildings based on observation records during the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake. The intended buildings are located about 170 km away from the epicentre. One is a structural control building, which provided a high damping performance. Another is an earthquake resistant building, which received little visible damage on structural components. These two buildings are equipped with accelerometers, which have produced a number of records since the buildin
