This paper proposed a new type of seismic damper based on yielding of a cantilever type steel element. The hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation capacity of the proposed damper were investigated via component tests under cyclic loads. The experimental results indicated that the damping device had stable restoring force characteristics and a high energy dissipation capacity.
