factor by which elastic seismic design forces are reduced for a structural system, reflecting its ductility, overstrength and energy dissipation.

In earthquake engineering, response modification factor refers to factor by which elastic seismic design forces are reduced for a structural system, reflecting its ductility, overstrength and energy dissipation. This meaning comes from Uang (1991) in Journal of Structural Engineering.[1]
