The authors argue that scaling design spectra by peak acceleration alone is not conservative and emphasize including frequency-dependent attenuation and local geological conditions.

The paper provides a framework for PBD that requires two sets of spectral amplitudes: one where structures remain linear and another for non-linear responses. The authors argue that scaling design spectra by
