Along with the revision of the Building Standard Law, the limit strength calculation was introduced as a new method of verifying the safety of structures against earthquakes. In this paper, evaluation method for earthquake response of buildings with hysteretic damper using the response spectrum method by equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model based on limit strength calculation was examined. As a result, in case that the equivalent viscous damping is appropriately evaluated, the maximum displacement response can be predicted by the response spectrum method using proposed evaluation method of equivalent viscous damping.
