A Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis is a newer method that is now commonly used to assess the seismic design basis for a facility. It assesses the combined effects at the site from all the potential earthquake sources, taking into consideration the likelihood of earthquakes from each source. The results again calculate the vibratory ground motion (acceleration) to which the site could be subjected.
