We have developed a new floor system, which is built up by installing visco容lastic materials (VEMs) between floor slab and beam upper flange, to enhance seismic performance of a building structure. Numerical analysis and shaking table test were conducted in order to verify seismic response of single耀tory steel moment frame equipped with the proposed floor system. From these investigations, effects of various parameters on seismic response were revealed, for instance, story drift decreases and shear deformation of VEM increases when shape factor of VEM becomes smaller. As a result, it is clarified that the shape factor of VEM should be defined appropriately.
