A　self-centering　steel　frame　system　with　intermediate　columns　containing　friction　dampers　(ICSCF)　has　been　proposed　in　this　study　to　resolve　the　problem　that　the　interstory　drift　of　the　structure　may　exceed　the　specified　limit　in　standards　when　self-centering　steel　frames　(SCF)　are　applied　in　multi-rise　and　high-rise　buildings　with　larger　spans,　and　ICSCF　comprises　two　kinds　of　friction　dampers,　intermediate　column　containing　friction　dampers　(ICFD)　and　web　friction　devices　(WFD),　thus　possesses　larger　energy　dissipation　capacities　under　rare　earthquakes.　An　eight-floor　prototype　of　ICSCF　was　designed　and　pseudo-dynamic　test　was　conducted　on　a　two-floor　testing　substructure.　Finite　element　analysis　was　performed　to　validate　the　reliability　of　testing　results.　Seismic　performance　analysis　on　the　overall　structure　of　ICSCF　was　carried　out,　which　was　then　compared　that　of　SCF　utilizing　only　beam　web　friction　dampers.　The　test　and　the　analyses　results　indicated　that　the　introduction　of　ICFD　has　greatly　increased　the　lateral　stiffness　of　the　structure　and　energy　dissipating　capacity,　further　extending　the　application　field　of　self-centering　structural　systems,　making　it　possible　to　be　applied　to　larger-span　structures.
