This paper develops a new model for a damping scaling factor (DSF) that can be used to adjust elastic response spectral ordinates for the vertical component of earthquake ground motion at a 5% viscous damping ratio to ordinates at damping ratios between 0.5% and 30%. Using the extensive NGA-West2 database of recorded ground motions from worldwide shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions, a functional form for the median DSF is proposed that depends on the damping ratio, spectral period, earthquake magnitude, and distance.
