Reinforced concrete as construction material has been used for a wide
range of building structures throughout the world, owing to its advantages such as versatile architecture application, low construction cost, excellent durability and easy maintenance. However, its use in seismic countries and areas in the world has been limited to lowrise or mediumrise buildings, considering inherent lack of structural safety against earthquakes. In the last several decades,
highrise RC buildings finally emerged in Japan, under the increased social need of more advanced types of RC buildings. Such a new type of structures was developed with the tremendous technical efforts for new high strength material, new design method, and new construction method, backed up by vast amount of research accomplishment.
