Four multi-loops or arcade flares showing strong impulsive soft X-ray brightenings on Yohkoh/SXT frames have been selected. By inspection of light curves of individual pixels, the areas of brightening have been localised. Evidences that non-thermal electron beams easily penetrate through whole flaring structures have been found. In some footpoints of the flaring structures during the impulsive phase the evidence of the chromospheric evaporation driven by non-thermal electron beams has been detected. The velocities of the upflowing plasma have been estimated. Derived values are in a wide range among 220 and 750 km/s. The SXT images of the investigated flares have been compared with the Yohkoh/HXT images. Generally good spatial and temporal coincidence between soft and hard X-ray emission from footpoints of flaring structures during the impulsive phase have been found but some exceptions occur. An explanation of the reported exceptions based on the magnetic field configuration has been proposed.
