    This document describes a new procedure called the Taylor Damped Moment Frame (TDMF) that simplifies the design of damped moment frame buildings. The key points are: 1) The TDMF procedure was approved through the ICC-ES process and reduces steel usage by 30% and base shear by 25% compared to traditional designs. 2) It streamlines the design process by eliminating the need for nonlinear time-history analysis and peer review. 3) The procedure decouples the special moment frame design from the damper frame design, allowing for easier analytical models and coordination with Taylor Devices.

    TAYLOR DAMPED
    MOMENT FRAME TM

    DAMPER DESIGN
    SIMPLIFIED
    • Approval Through ICC-ES Process
    • 30% Reduction In Steel
    • ≥ 25% Reduction In Base Shear
    • No Peer Review Required
    • No Time-History Analysis
    • Shortened Design Time
    The New Taylor-ed Solution
    Our new Taylor Damped Moment FrameTM (TDMFTM) procedure simplifies the design
    process, eliminating the need for nonlinear time-history analysis and peer review. The
    prescriptive method decouples special steel moment frame design from the damper
    frame, allowing for easier analytical models, less guess work on damper properties, and
    smoothing coordination with Taylor Devices.

    This procedure has approval* by ICC-ES through the rigorous AC494 procedure, including
    validation with over 80 archetype structures using the FEMA P-695 methodology.
    * expected approval by October 2022
