description This paper develops a practice-oriented seismic design procedure for an emerging lateral force resisting system. The system combines the favorable re-centering feature with the attractive hybrid damping capacity. The system overcomes the detrimental frame expansion effect that occurs in conventional self-centering building frames without the cost of building space. Following the proposed design procedure, multiple designs with different parameters to achieve performance objectives were performed for a representative three-story building in which the considered lateral force resisting system is used to resist the seismic forces. Nonlinear response history analyses were performed for the designs to evaluate the applicability and adequacy of the proposed design approach. Based on the analyses conducted in this research, it was found that the considered system designed using the proposed approach can meet both transient and residual inter-story drift requirements specified for the selected performance objectives. While an initial design per the proposed design approach may be inadequate, the re-design strategy recommended can help transform the design to an acceptable one after only one round of modification. Moreover, the composition of hybrid damping may affect the maximum floor acceleration responses. In this study, the maximum floor acceleration can be reduced 12.75% at most by replacing hysteretic damping with viscous damping. This should be included in design consideration in the proposed approach through adjusting the hybrid damping composition.
