Are the displacement and drift levels reported for auto-lateral and response-spectrum load cases amplified by Cd / I per ASCE 7-05, section 12.8.6?

Answer: ETABS reports the elastic displacement which is computed under strength-level design earthquake forces. The displacement and drift levels reported for auto-lateral and response-spectrum load cases must be amplified by Cd / I.
