Structural response modification factors (R-Factor) relate the actual           earthquake response of structures at significant yield level to the             elastic response as represented by the response spectrum computed from          strong-motion records.  As a result, R-Factors provide a basic                  mechanism through which strong-motion data can be applied in the                seismic design of many building types.  The objectives of this research         project are to assess the R-Factor concept in general, to evaluate              currently available R-Factor values through the analyses of                     strong-motion records and building response data, and to develop                guidelines for assigning and utilizing R-Factors in the seismic design          of commonly used structural systems.  The improvement and refinement of         the R-Factor approach and the development of R-Factors for specific             building types will significantly benefit the engineering community and         the construction industry nationwide.
