When the story lateral forces of multi-story frame were not distributed properly during a seismic design, sufficient seismic performances should not secured. Thus, studies on the distribution of story lateral forces that make the uniform distribution of story damage are positively necessary. In this study, a lot of dynamic analyses of multi-story frames were conducted using various seismic waves to find the optimum distributions of story damage and the distributions of story shear in that circumstance were calculated.
