The conventional brace system is generally accepted lateral load resisting system for steel structures due to efficient story drift control and economic feasibility by frame materials decrease. But the lateral stiffness of the brace decreases following buckling in this system and buckling causes unstable structures with strength deterioration hysteresis performance. Buckling restrained brace system that performs stable behavior after yielding of core element prevented from buckling by tube element is better than conventional brace system in point of earthquake energy absorbing capacity. In this study, the seismic performance of the multi-story steel frames applied for brace and buckling restrained brace is respectively analyzed, so that, the damage of two systems is quantitatively evaluated by analyzing energy absorption capacity.

Currently the seismic performance evaluation for existing buildings are being made simply through the review of the analytical technique corresponding to design specifications on beam, column, shear wall, joint and so on. Also the seismic performance is evaluated to 4 steps as immediate occupancy level(IO), life safety level(LS), collapse prevention level(CP), collapse occurrence level(CO). However, in case of a structure being used for a number of years after construction, which may have partial damages and durability degradations may show significant differences between the analysis results and the actual behavior during an earthquake. Therefore, a improved seismic performance assessment is proposed based on risk assessment and seismic performance techniques since more systematic evaluation and condition assessment are required, and thus the practical and economical seismic retrofit measures for the existing facilities and for the reasonable seismic design as well are to be developed more than ever before.

The Recent earthquake damage of surrounding countries is increasing, occurrence of frequent earthquakes in the country, thus, the interest about the seismic performance of the structure is increasing. Korea, was established in 2008 earthquake measures method, KBC2009 was also amended by design standards. KBC2009 based seismic design and seismic strengthening has become mandatory, Design of the building before the current seismic design standards must be satisfied in KBC2009. Therefore, ATC-40, FEMA-273 and seismic performance evaluation of Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation will conduct the seismic performance evaluation at the Previous design code building.
