Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors
This publication presents a recommended methodology for reliably quantifying building
system performance and response parameters for use in seismic design. The parameters or
“seismic performance factors” addressed include the response modification coefficient
(R factor), system overstrength factor, and deflection amplification factor. The methodology
is a refinement of an earlier preliminary methodology, and is based on a review of relevant
research on nonlinear response and collapse simulation, benchmarking studies of selected
structural systems, feedback from an expanded group of experts and potential users, and
evaluations of additional structural systems conducted to verify the technical soundness and
applicability of the approach. This draft document has been released for public comment and
interim use.
