This paper presents results of loading tests of H-SA700 high strength steel structures in which beams and columns are made by undermatched welds and constructed by knee brace dampers. The feasibility of high strength bolted joints of high strength steel members with knee brace dampers and mechanical performance of the beam-column subassemblages are verified by loading tests. The advantage of high strength steel is verified by examples of the design of structures and the results of time history response analyses comparing with the structures made by usual mild steel.
