Abstract
A review is performed of some of the seismic damage models that were more recently developed, taking into consideration the effect of cumulative damage. One of these models derives a local damage index in the form of a modified Miner's rule. This index is then used to develop the automated damage-control design procedure so that the design, while satisfying the necessary building design code, is optimized in the sense that it spatially distributes the damage as uniformly as possible.
