This paper proposes two types of dampers using fasteners of PCa curtain walls in order to reduce seismic response and damage of steel structures. Two types of dampers proposed here are friction damper and flexural yielding damper, dynamic and static cyclic loading tests were performed to investigate the hysteretic performance of dampers. Both friction damper which constructed the steel plate fastener, curtain walls, and concrete plate, and flexural yielding damper using rolled H-shaped steel showed stable behavior until cumulative slip or plastic deformation exceeded 2000mm.
