large uncertainties associated with calculating the ground motions at the selectedexceedance frequencies (and the approximation that inevitably results from presentingthe continuous variations <strong>of</strong> hazard in discrete intervals <strong>of</strong> ground motion), it does notseem reasonable to oppose a change to the format <strong>of</strong> seismic codes on the basis <strong>of</strong>preserving nominal adherence to the total probability theorem.The task <strong>of</strong> drafting seismic design codes for PBSD should be treated as anopportunity to consider afresh — and improve — the ways in which designearthquake actions are presented, without being constrained by the concepts andconventions that have led to the current state-<strong>of</strong>-the-practice embodied in today’sseismic codes.REFERENCESAlgermissen, S.
