This document discusses two approaches to seismic design and performance assessment: deterministic and probabilistic. The deterministic approach involves defining seismic hazards, developing a 3D finite element model of the structure, analyzing the model, designing structural elements, and assessing story drift, shear, and capacity spectrum methods. The probabilistic approach involves selecting ground motion records, performing incremental dynamic analysis, developing fragility curves, and evaluating local structural responses like peak accelerations and drift ratios.
