Diagram of ductility calculation. Note. that the origin and the position of 0.75Fmax on the skeleton curve are connected and make the extension line intersect the Fmax straight line. Consequently, the displacement is the yield displacement (Δy), and the load is decreased to 85%. Also, the displacement corresponding to the peak load is Δu.
