High-damping response spectra are essential tools for the assessment and design methods based on the equivalent elastic structure concept. They are also often used for the analysis and design of structures with seismic isolation or energy dissipation systems. Many formulations of the reduction factors have been proposed and included in seismic codes to estimate high-damping response spectra from their...
