According to the strength, depending on the ductility capacity-strength demand envisaged for the design, the earthquake load reduction coefficient and the strength excess coefficient are determined. In Design Based on Strength , depending on the predicted ductility capacity , for section design with the bearing strength approach , the design strength f d (µ k , T ) of the carrier system is defined by the following equation:

In this equation D , Resistance Redundancy Factor 's is shown. With this coefficient, it is expressed that the yield strength is excessive compared to the design strength.
The concept of ductility is mainly determined by the difference between the temporal displacement and permanent displacement regions in the stress-strain curve of the materials. For example, the following curve obtained in the base section as a result of the static cyclic loading test (push - pull) on a reinforced concrete cantilever column shows the typical nonlinear strength-displacement behavior.

Under the effect of an earthquake, structural elements behave similar to the curve above. In order to design the structure ductile, this displacement capability, which the elements can do, is used. For example, the behavior shown with the dashed line in the figure below represents a building with a brittle design and the continuous line symbolizes the ductile building.

The basis of the calculation method used for Design Based on Strength is the ductile behavior of the carrier system and the reduction of earthquake loads. As you will see in the curve below, the nonlinear behavior of the structure is translated into a conjugate linear system. The assumption is based on the assumption that the area under both curves is equal, that is, the building can absorb equal energy.

The seismic analysis procedure is performed with reduced response spectra. At MCER level of ground motion, structural elements are prospective to yield, buckle or behave inelastically. In ASCE 7-16, the response modification coefficient, R, is used to compute seismic design internal forces by dividing the forces. It is produced in a structure behaving elastically when subjected to the design earthquake ground motion.
The purpose of R is to reduce the demand determined, assuming that the structure remains elastic at the design earthquake level, to target the first significant yield. This reduction computes for ductility demand of the displacement required by the structural system and the inherent overstrength, Ω, of the seismic force-resisting system(SFRS) (Fig. C12.1-1). A significant yield point is where the critical region is completely plastic (e.g., formation of the first plastic hinge in a moment frame), and the stiffness of the SFRS to further increase in lateral forces decreases as continued inelastic behavior spreads within the SFRS. This approach is suitable for member-level ultimate strength design practices.
Due to the design rules and limits according to C12.9.1.3, including material strengths, structural elements are stronger than the required strength by analysis. The maximum strength developed along the curve is higher than that at first significant yield, and this point is referred to as the system overstrength capacity, Ω. The system overstrength described above is the direct result of the overstrength of the elements that form the SFRS and the lateral force distribution used to evaluate the inelastic force–deformation curve.
Structures typically have a much higher lateral strength than that specified as the minimum by ASCE 7-16. The first yielding of structures may occur at lateral load levels that are 30% to 100% higher than the prescribed design seismic forces by the standard.
