Abstract

An alternative method is presented for generating uniform‐hazard response spectra making use of a seismic hazard curve expressing annual probability of exceedance as a function of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), a set of normalized (PGA = 1__g__) mean response spectra, and a coefficient‐of‐variation function for the random normalized spectral values in terms of period T. The practice of using mean + 1σ normalized response spectra, scaled to specified PGA levels, is discussed and associated mean return periods are evaluated.

A common task in environmental studies is to determine toxicant concentrations at which a certain proportion (typically 95 per cent) of the biological species is protected. Extrapolation techniques need to be employed for small sample sizes. By de®nition, our interest focuses on the lower tail of th
