Featured Application Control of certain non-proportionality indices can be used to limit response errors when classical modal analysis is applied to non-proportionally damped structures. Use of modal procedures in systems with non-proportional damping (such as structures with added viscous damping systems) results in response errors, shown in this study to depend on dissimilar and often conflicting conditions for different variables and stories; thus, it is not possible to propose simple rules based on structural or damping properties to limit the error in a global way. However, four existing indices (originally proposed to measure damping non-proportionality) present a positive correlation with the extreme errors in modal procedures for all variables and stories. Thus, limiting the index value is a sufficient condition to keep the error in all variables within a given threshold. For practical application, limit values for these indices are tabulated as a function of error and can be used as an acceptance criterion for the validity of modal procedures.
