Concentrically braced frames are limited in their ability to absorb energy during an earthquake However by placing the bracing members eccentric to the beam column joints, an energy absorbing link unit is produced. The energy is absorbed by the link and / or columns deforming inelastically. Three models of a multistorey structure were analyzed using DRAIN-2D computer program .Three link lengths were used in the analyses, 7, 11 and 15 inches. The yield patterns are produced. However it is interesting to note the relative valuses of force and moment obtained.
