A new method is proposed for stiffness-damping simultaneous identification in a building structure when responses are recorded at only two stories, i.e. the base and the second floor. Uniqueness of stiffness and damping is guaranteed if the transfer function of the absolute acceleration (or displacement) at the second floor relative to the base is given. Stiffness and damping distributions can then be obtained by minimizing the error between two transfer functions, i.e. the ratio of records at the above-mentioned two floors in the frequency domain and the corresponding theoretical value of the system with assumed stiffness and damping. The stiffness and damping for the theoretical transfer function are evaluated by using identification functions through the extrapolation of unrecorded story responses. The validity of the proposed method is investigated through numerical examples.
