AB  - Within PSHA, the effects of site response can be treated in a variety of different manners. Typically, there is an assumed hierarchy of accuracy for the alternatives, but the validity of this hierarchy has not been formally assessed. Site response can be modelled directly using empirical Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) and the precision of the analysis is related to the published variance components of the model. An alternative approach is to conduct site-specific site response analyses, and this approach is commonly assumed to be the most accurate. Using equivalent linear (EQL) and non-linear (NL) site response analysis for two magnitude-distance (M-R) scenarios this study focuses on the total uncertainty associated with this computational demanding route. The spectral ordinates and the variability of the site response methods are further compared to the predictions of the Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008) GMPE for these two M-R combinations.
