This study tends to evaluate seismic performance of IPFD which is a type of friction damper. For this purpose, two cross-braced steel frames with and without dampers in different openings were modelled in SAP 2000 and exposed to accelerograms of important earthquakes for non-linear time history analysis to examine effect of damper and the number of openings on base shear, shear and displacement of stories.
