The purpose of this paper is to discuss the performance evaluation of a shear wall damper with low yield strength steel by a dynamic response analysis. In order to indicate the performance to resist earth quakes, we performed a dynamic analysis of multi-story frames with the dampers, which were modelled by hysteresis models derived from a static loading test. The improvement of the frame performance by installing shear wall dampers is discussed being based on the criterion of the performance-based design method.
