\n Using state\u2010of\u2010the\u2010art computational tools in seismology and structural engineering, validated using data from the M\n w\n =6.7\u00a0January 1994\u00a0Northridge earthquake, we determine the damage to two 18\u2010story steel moment\u2010frame buildings, one existing and one new, located in southern California due to ground motions from two hypothetical magnitude 7.9 earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault. The new building has the same configuration as the existing building but has been redesigned to current building code standards. Two cases are considered: rupture initiating at Parkfield and propagating from north to south, and rupture propagating from south to north and terminating at Parkfield. Severe damage occurs in these buildings at many locations in the region in the north\u2010to\u2010south rupture scenario. Peak velocities of 1\n
