Damping modification factors for SDOF systems subjected to near-fault, far-fault and artificial earthquakes.

Damping modification factors (DMF) are used in modern seismic codes to adjust elastic response spectral values corresponding to 5% of viscous damping to other higher or lower damping levels. This paper presents a simple and effective procedure to estimate DMF for single-degree-of-freedom systems. Em...
