Abstract;This study proposes one of seismic response prediction methods for steel frames with hysteretic dampers based on the energy balance. In this method, plastic strain energy of each member obtained from static incremental analysis is utilized to predict earthquake response of frames. An adequacy of the proposed method is investigated through earthquake response analysis by using of six kinds of model frames with hysteretic dampers. As a result, applicability of this method was verified through a comparison with results of the earthquake response analysis. (author abst.)
