(OP)
I need some information about the effect of vertical component of earthquake and records of some earthquake (both vertical and horizental component)
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

As for records, I assume you wish strong-motion records or accelograms and I'm not sure what agencies out there record that kind of data for public use. Try the COSMOS website. I don't know the address so just search using the acronym above.

The vertical component is not at danger, b'coz the stuructures designed to the respective building codes have adeaquate factor of safety against vertical loads and the additional axial load arising from vertical motion will be easily taken care off by this factor of safety.
The vertical motion produced cosiderable effect on thin-walled structures susceptible to local buckling. In this case the local buckling coupled with the additional axial load due to vertical ground motion produces considerable damage during an event of severe earthquake.
