This paper reports an attempt to infer vibration characteristics of a low-rise base-isolated building after the East Japan Great Earthquake which occurred on March 11, 2011. The building corresponds to a 3-story reinforced concrete building which was constructed for research purposes and belongs to Tohoku University, Japan. Near this base-isolated test building, similar building was constructed having direct foundation in order to compare their corresponding behavior. The vibration characteristi
