Compared with the design methods based on force，displacement and energy，the design method based on damage can determine or evaluate the seismic performance of the structure more comprehensively and directly. Due to the lack of the relationship between additional damping ratio of the dampers and the damage degree of the primary structure，the current performance design method based on the damage for the controlled structure system can only achieve the expected damage by iteratively calculating and constantly adjusting the design parameters of the dampers. Because of those shortages，the mechanism of damage reduction of the main structure is analyzed from the perspective of energy dissipation. Then the quantitative relationship between the additional equivalent damping ratio and the damage index of the structure is established by using the damage model based on differential ratio of elastic-plastic dissipated energy. Furthermore，the calculation method of periodic additional equivalent damping ratio of dampers under ground motion is proposed. On this basis，the performance design flow of the controlled structure system oriented to damage control is proposed based on seismic fragility analysis method. The example shows that the analytical calculation of damping ratio is accurate，and the design method is universal，simple and iteration-free，which can effectively control the damage degree of the primary structure to the expected damage target. The design method in this paper can also be compatible with displacement based on design method，and has more strict probability and statistical significance.
