-# Purpose of this Application
+# **Purpose of this Application**
 The Risk Targeted Ground Motion Calculator is used to calculate risk-targeted ground motion values in accordance with “Method 2” of 2010 ASCE 7 Standard Section 21.2.1.2. Users can input a hazard curve from a site-specific analysis to obtain a risk-targeted ground motion value.

-Application input can be user-provided or drawn from the [USGS Hazard Curve Data files](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/products/). The following example incorporates the 2008 USGS Lower 48 “Hazard Curve Data” file for “5Hz (0.2 Second)”. Specifically, the data for the coordinates (34.05, -118.25) in Los Angeles are used:

 ## Output summary (yellow box)
 This section provides the risk-targeted ground motion (RTGM) corresponding to a 1% probability of collapse in 50 years. The uniform hazard ground motion (UHGM) used as a starting point for the calculations is provided, as is the Risk Coefficient (RC) representing the ratio of RTGM to UHGM for the site of interest.
