Steel ordinary moment frames (OMF) are seismic force-resisting systems that can be used in buildings. In current seismic design and detailing provisions, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers ASCE/SEI 7-10 (2010) , American Institute of Steel Construction ANSI/AISC 341-10 (2010), and ANSI/AISC 358-10 (2010) , less stringent design and detailing requirements are specified for steel OMFs compared with those for steel special- and intermediate-moment frames. The strong-column weak-beam (SC/WB) requirement is not enforced for steel OMF connections. In the present study, the seismic performance evaluation is conducted for steel OMFs designed according to current seismic design and detailing provisions considering different combinations of gravity, seismic, and wind loads, as well as wind drift limits. Based on the results of seismic performance evaluation, permissible structural heights for steel OMFs are also proposed.
