The vibration control device called as “Scaling Frame” (abbreviated as “SF”) is proposed. In previous study, the seismic mitigation effect of normal type of SF device was clarified experimentally. In this study, SF structure is assumed to apply on multi-story steel frames, that is, in which high strength and rigidity are required. So then, a various shape of SFD is developed. The analytical results present that the proposed model can chase test results well. Furthermore, the suggested estimation method is reformulated to adapt the restoring force characteristics of new type of SF devices. From analytical results, it is confirmed that the number of damper can be decreased by new type of SF devices.
