In response to the national imperative for seismic safetyofhigh-rise buildings, focusing on the scientific issues of strong earthquake catastrophes in high-rise buildings, a systematic investigation was undertaken to advance the seismic design theory and enhance the seismic performance of large andcomplexhigh-rise buildings. The research outcomes have receivedmanyrecognitionsincluding the State Science and Technology Advancement Award,the State Technological Innovation Award, the Science and Tec
