27 4. Conclusions 27

28 Conclusion 1. A method of simulating earthquake ground motions based on a quantitative evaluation of the Fourier phase has been introduced. Examples of the synthesized waves for inter-plate and crustal earthquakes have shown. 2. The dynamic behavior of high-rise buildings differs widely depending on the property of earthquake ground motions. 3. In performance-based design, it is important to consider the frequency characteristics of seismic waves. 28

29 And Finally points of seismic design and suggestions 1. Appropriate choice of seismic safety measures according to required performance and each form of buildings. 2. Adequate damping performance with the well- balanced Installment of devices in a building in addition to the structural strength of buildings. 3. Earthquake resistance of finishing materials and building equipments, not only of structural frame, in terms of operational or fully operational use of buildings. 4. Correct evaluation of seismic performance for existing skyscrapers. 29
