This paper presents seismic responses of steel frames with large deformable elastic braces by means of time domain analyses. Large deformable elastic braces are braces which never yield under even major earthquakes. The braces can realize large deformable elastic capability by unique topologies cut from steel plates. Seismic responses are compared and discussed for various steel frames with and without large deformable elastic braces.
