A uniform hazard spectrum is one in which

  • A.every ordinate comes from the same single earthquake
  • B.the spectral value is constant at all periods
  • C.damping is assumed to be zero at all periods
  • D.every ordinate has the same probability of exceedance

Answer: D

Each period is treated separately in the hazard calculation, so the curve is an envelope of equal likelihood rather than the spectrum of any one event. That is also its limitation, since no single earthquake produces it.
