Ground Motion Parameters (PGA, PGV, PGD)

Plain Definition: Quantitative measures of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes.

Technical Description: Include Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Velocity (PGV), and Displacement (PGD), used in design and hazard analysis.

Use in Design: Help characterize seismic hazard and develop response spectra.
