2 Approaches To Developing Design Ground Motions by Dr. Norman A. Abrahamson, Pacific Gas and Electric There are two basic approaches to developing design ground motions that are commonly used in practice: deterministic and probabilistic. While both approaches have been used for over 30 years, there is widespread misunderstanding of the two approaches by engineering and earth science professionals practising in field of earthquake engineering. This chapter gives descriptions of basic concepts of deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analyses. A numerical example of a simplified h
