ground motion Intensity Measure (IM), which describes in a probabilistic sense thesalient features <strong>of</strong> the ground motion hazard that affect structural response. The nextstep involves structural analysis to calculate Engineering Demand Parameters (EDP),which quantify in an engineering sense the response <strong>of</strong> the structure the input groundmotions. The EDPs are then related to Damage Measures (DM), which describe thephysical condition <strong>of</strong> the structure and its components resulting from the imposeddemands. Finally, the process culminates with the calculation <strong>of</strong> Decision Variables(DV), which are represented by the performance metrics <strong>of</strong> the type shown at thebottom <strong>of</strong> Figure 1. Underlying the methodology is a probabilistic framework forpropagating the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties throughout the process.2.1 Earthquake Intensity Measure (IM)The earthquake IM is the primary parameter by which the earthquake hazard isdefined. Traditional IMs, such as peak ground motions or spectral parameters arewidely available through conventional probabilistic seismic hazard analyses. Forexample, the common IM = Sa T1 can be described through a seismic hazard curve asthe mean annual frequency <strong>of</strong> exceedance, λ[IM], for a specific site and vibrationperiod <strong>of</strong> the building. In addition to quantifying IM, the hazard characterizationincludes the selection <strong>of</strong> appropriate ground motion input records for response historyanalyses. <strong>PEER</strong>’s research on hazard analysis involves close coordination with theTable 1.
