Current wind design procedures require that structural behavior remains elastic under wind loading corresponding to a specific return period unlike seismic codes that set some specifications to account for the ductile behavior of structures. Based on both linear and nonlinear dynamic time history analyses of simplified shear frame structures, this study examines the sensitivity of the ductility demand to different analysis hypotheses, and gives recommendations for their adequate values to be used in extended parametric studies. In particular, the current results show that the use of admittance functions strongly influence the ductility demand of structures. It was also shown that the ductility demand of the structure varies significantly with the damping ratio. More specifically, it was found that a 1% damping ratio (including the aerodynamic damping) is a coherent and conservative value to be used for parametric studies on medium-to-high-rise structures in order to establish a relation between the ductility demand and the strength reduction factor for structures subjected to extreme wind loadings.
