In this study, the truss beam with the eccentric joints and shear panels is proposed to improve the plastic deformation capacity. Eccentric joints and shear panels are intended to disperse plastic deformation in truss beam and to transform the buckling mode. Mechanical properties of this truss beam are investigated by the loading test and the numerical analysis. As a result, initial stiffness and maximum strength of the truss beam with shear panels are equated with ones of the ordinary truss beam, and plastic deformation behavior is very stable. And shear panel form and arrangement are able to choose suitably.
