What is DBE MCE Earthquake about?

The Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) is the expected ground motion a structure must resist during its design life, with a return period of approximately 475 years and a 10% chance of exceedance in 50 years. The Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) is a more severe event with a return period of about 2,475 years and a 2% chance of exceedance in 50 years, ensuring life safety even if the structure is severely damaged. Structures are designed to sustain repairable damage under DBE and to avoid collapse under MCE.
