This paper offers the dynamic analysis of steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) with shear link under earthquake loads. The analysis was carried out using the finite element software ABAQUS. The verification of the EBF modelling was established by the comparison of the modelling result with that of the experimental test. Then, an EBF was designed with a shear link. Three different severe earthquake records of Tabas, Northridge, and Chi-Chi were selected for the analyses. Since the modelling accuracy was revealed, the method was utilised for modelling the developed EBF. The EBF was then analysed under the mentioned records. From the obtained results, the lateral displacements and energy dissipations of the frame and also shear link rotations were investigated. With regard to all the effects of the records as the lateral displacement and base shear of the frame and also the shear link rotation, it was found that the hierarchy of the records from their effects viewpoint on the EBF has been the Tabas, Chi-Chi, and Northridge earthquakes. In addition, the hierarchy of the energy dissipations of the records by the EBF has been the Tabas, Chi-Chi, and Northridge earthquakes, as well. Therefore, the developed EBF demonstrated a good performance in the energy dissipation of the earthquake records.
