Seismic response controlled frame of bending deformation control type

In a multi-storied frame building, a seismic force response controlled frame, comprising:

• a pair of wall columns, each having a top connected to a wall girder cantilevered horizontally from said top, the wall girders of said pair of wall columns having opposed tip ends;
• and
• a seismic response control apparatus connected between said tip ends of said wall girders to control the displacement of said tip ends by generating damping force when said tip ends of said wall girders are displaced relative to each other.

In a multi-storied frame building having a central core section comprising a plurality of seismic force response controlled frames arrayed to form a hollow core, each of said frames including a first member connected to a cantilevered wall girder having a tip end horizontally extending beyond said first member, a second member spaced from and co-planar with said wall girder;

• and a seismic response control apparatus connected between said tip end of said cantilevered wall girder and said second member to damp displacement of said tip end of said wall girder by generating damping force when said tip end of said wall girder and said second member are displaced relative to each other responsive to seismic force.
