1. 1. Response Linearization Methods for Seismic Design
2. 2. Purpose:
   • This tool aims to show the origin of severalmethods used to linearize the inelastic response of structures
3. 3. This tool produces:
   • The relation between strength reduction factor and ductility
   • The relation between the Displacement Modification Coefficient and ductility
   • The relation between Equivalent Damping and Ductility
   • For a SDOF under the effects of an earthquake record
