Spanish term or phrase: resistencia minorada
La interconexión se diseñará para tener una resistencia minorada no menor a 0.25 veces la resistencia teórica a tracción del miembro diagonal.

I have been searching without success for an English equivalent to this term, which refers to steel standards for seismic-resistant buildings. I have not found 'reduced strength' in similar English texts. The closest term seems to be 'nominal strength'. Would this be equivalent?

Explanation:
What about "reduced strength"?
I can also think of "diminished tolerance" in case we consider it tolerance towards earthquakes.

Wish you luck!!
