Contents: A seismic design procedure that does not take into account the maximum and cumulative plastic deformation demands that a structure will likely undergo during severe ground motion could lead to unreliable performance. Damage models that quantify the severity of repeated plastic cycling through plastic energy are simple tools that can be used for practical seismic design. The concept of constant cumulative ductility strength spectra, developed from one such model, is a useful tool for performance-based seismic design. Particularly, constant cumulative ductility strength spectra can be used to identify cases in which low-cycle fatigue may become a design issue, and provides quantitative means to estimate the design lateral strength that should be provided to a structure to adequately control its cumulative plastic deformation demands during seismic response. Design expressions can be offered to estimate the strength reduction factors associated to the practical use of constant cumulative ductility strength spectra.
