Summary High‐strength steel framed‐tube structures with shear links (HSSFT‐SLs) exhibit better performance under seismic loading than conventional steel framed‐tube structures. In this study, the optimum lateral force distribution considering the higher mode effects in an inelastic state for the seismic design of HSSFT‐SLs was investigated to overcome the shortcomings of existing lateral force distribution patterns. A series of example structures with expected yield mechanisms were designed, and their finite element (FE) models were developed by using OpenSees program. The modeling approach was verified using experimental data. The influence of several important parameters on the lateral force distribution in the inelastic state was investigated. An optimum lateral force distribution in inelastic state was obtained by using the relative distribution of the maximum story shears of the FE models obtained from nonlinear time history analyses. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed lateral force distribution were assessed through comparison with code‐specified lateral load patterns. The suggested lateral force distribution exhibits more rational and higher precision than other patterns in the inelastic state and may provide a useful reference for further research regarding the design of HSSFT‐SL systems.
