In recent years, greater emphasis has been placed on developing effective means of dissipating seismic energy in structures that keep structural response within the elastic region. In this case, using a link member in divergent bracing components is one of the solutions used in connecting to structures. In the usual process of structural design, the displacement of supports is often ignored, and supports are assumed to be rigid. However, during an earthquake, the structure usually experiences rocking motion, and the assumption of the foundation's rigidity, which is used for analysis and design, is called into question. The method of doing the work is as follows: first, using a selected laboratory sample, the results were validated in SAP software. Next, by modeling a 12-story steel frame system with divergent bracing with a vertical link member without rocking motion and with rocking motion in different cases, the effect of the presence of the vertical link member and the presence of rocking motion has been investigated using nonlinear static analysis to obtain a capacity diagram. In each case, the relevant behavior curves have been presented. According to the results of the nonlinear analysis, it is observed that by using divergent bracing with a vertical link member, we see a 5.2-fold increase in energy absorption compared to the convergent sample, but the presence of rocking motion has reduced the energy absorption of the buildings examined in the study, in a way that has limited this increase in energy absorption to 78 percent.
