One of the most important deficiencies of this system is the matter of controlling its maximum drift against the lateral force of earthquakes. So, it results in a non-economical design especially in tall buildings. Eccentrically Braced Frame with Vertical link beam (V-EBF) is almost a new Seismic Force Resisting System in which the vertical link beam has the role of the ductile member with a wide range of ductility and energy dissipation capacity. In this paper, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the SMRF and V-EBF systems are compared. For this purpose, a number of one-story one-bay frames with these two systems with different characteristics are analysed by non-linear finite element method under quasi-static cyclic loading and the results are compared.
