This paper outlines a practical design procedure for steel moment frames with fluid viscous dampers. The design procedure is being developed in accordance with International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) AC 494, “Acceptance Criteria for Qualification of Building Seismic Performance of Alternative Seismic Force-Resisting Systems.” The new design procedure decouples the design of the moment frames and the damping system to minimize model complexity and design iteration. Notably, the design of the moment frames follows typical moment frame design procedures found in AISC 341 and ASCE/SEI-7 chapter 12, but with reduced strength and drift requirements to account for reduction in the seismic response provided by the damping system. Through state-of-the-art FEMA P-695 incremental dynamic analysis on a suite of nearly 100 archetype designs, the design procedure is shown to produce steel moment frame designs that meet the seismic collapse safety requirements of FEMA P-695 and ASCE/SEI-7, while also significantly reducing steel tonnage when comparing to traditional steel moment frames.
