The paper presents displacements and accelerations of two tower type buildings, one near the epicenter zone, Vrancea and one South of Bucharest (~150 km from epicenter zone). Displacements and accelerations were computed from the processed recorded accelerograms. Were used 3 “Triaxial Seismic Accelerometers” on 3 levels of each building. The displacements and accelerations on the analyzed structures were a result of Vrancea medium earthquakes between 2014-2017 years with magnitudes Mw ranging from 3.8 to 5.6 and depths between ~ 41 km to 147 km. A discussion of structural response was made concerning each building (one on 12 seismic events, the other on 6 ones and both on 4 that are common). The recorded data will contribute to a better understanding of the structures responses, even subjected to medium magnitude seismic events, and to the mitigation of seismic risk for densely populated areas.
