Response Modification Coefficient (R)
The earthquake load reduction coefficient R a (T) is determined automatically by Equation 4.1a and 4.1b .
R and D coefficients in the equations are under user control.
R and D coefficients selected by the user in the analysis settings wizard and report results are checked automatically. R and D coefficients that do not comply with TBDY are not allowed.

D = Resistance Excess Coefficient
I = Building Importance Factor
R = Structural System Behavior Coefficient
R a ( T ) = Seismic Load Reduction Coefficient depending on the predicted ductility capacity and period
T = Natural vibration period [s]
T B = Horizontal elastic design acceleration spectrum corner period [s]
