PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To damp not only large vibrations at the time of a great earthquake but also comparatively small vibrations. SOLUTION: A brace damper device 19 has a hydraulic damper 23 damping comparatively large vibrations and a damping mechanism 26 damping comparatively small vibrations. The damping mechanism 26 has a damping elastic body 34 generating damping force by infinitesimal displacement. When vibrations having large amplitude such as an earthquake are propagated to first and second braces 24, 27 at that time, comparatively large vibrations can be damped by the damping force of the hydraulic damper 23. When comparatively small vibrational energy such as a small earthquake, traffic vibrations, etc., is propagated to the first and second braces 24, 27, comparatively small vibrations are damped by the damping force of the damping elastic body 34 when the braces are displaced, and the micro-vibrations of a structure can be damped.
