Long-period ground motions (LPGMs), rich in low-frequency content, can resonate with long-period structures like high-rise buildings, leading to severe damage. As seismic design shifts from safety toward resilience, limited attention to LPGMs makes it difficult to ensure the seismic resilience of long-period structures. This study used Perform-3D software to model three high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) frame–shear wall structures with varying periods and one with infill walls for resilience assessment. The resilience indicators and seismic resilience grades under LPGMs and ordinary ground motions (OGMs) were compared using the Standard for Seismic Resilience Assessment of Buildings (GB/T38591-2020) and the Guideline for Evaluation of Seismic Resilience Assessment of Urban Engineering Systems (RISN-TG041-2022), which are national standards in China. The results show that the structural response under LPGMs is significantly different from that under OGMs. In particular, the influence of LPGMs on displacement-sensitive non-structural components is much greater than OGMs. Resilience indicators were higher under LPGMs. The presence of infill walls notably reduced resilience indicators, with a stronger effect under OGMs. Based on GB/T38591-2020, the seismic resilience of each structure generally decreases by 1–2 grades under LPGMs, while evaluations based on RISN-TG041-2022 show similar ratings under both LPGMs and OGMs.
