The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, triggered a massive tsunami that caused devastating destruction to buildings in coastal cities. However, in areas unaffected by the tsunami, buildings experienced relatively fewer collapses or severe damage, despite the high seismic intensity. This study explores the characteristics and impacts of seismic damage from this earthquake, reveals the intrinsic relationship between ground motion features and building damage, and analyzes the seismic damage data and spatial distribution of building clusters using a vulnerability model established based on the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. Through the analysis of building collapse rate, we found that the computed results closely aligned with the actual seismic damage survey outcomes. The analysis indicates that seismic damage was concentrated in coastal areas such as Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki Prefectures, particularly in narrow inland zones near the coastline. Notably, the areas most severely affected were not always the closest to the epicenter or the zones with the highest intensity. Furthermore, significant differences in collapse rates were observed across different building codes, with buildings constructed under newer regulations showing a markedly lower collapse rate compared to those built under older standards. This research contributes to a better understanding of the seismic damage characteristics associated with offshore earthquakes, providing crucial insights for earthquake defense and disaster relief efforts.
