Abstract
This study is to investigate the relation between interior damage and the heights of high-rise apartment houses on the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster. We investigated interior damage in some high-rise apartme nt houses. One of them has several seismometers. As the result, the bigger interior damage are seen for the upper-floor buildings. The damage of household goods was found to be related to the maximum acceleration of building response. In different heights of buildings at the same place, the interior damage was supposed to increase at the building which response coincided the ground motion.
