Application of Deflection Amplification Factor per ASCE 7-16 ยง11.2.1

SYMBOLS

Cd = Deflection amplification factor
R = Response modification coefficient
Ie = Importance factor
ฮดxe = Deflection


Deflection Amplification Factor, Cd, is defined in Table 12.2-1.

The application of the factor R/Ie to the design response spectrum reduces not only design forces but also displacements. To compensate for this, ASCE 7 requires that the deflections at level x at the center of mass, ฮดx, be determined in accordance with where Cd is from Table 12.2-1, Ie and ฮดxe. Using a value Cd equal to R would result in the displacement ฮดx being equal to ฮดxe, which would be consistent with the equal displacement rule.
