 ## First Iteration
 The application begins by using the uniform hazard ground motion (UHGM) with a 2% probability of being exceeded over a 50 year time period. This value is obtained during Step 1 and is used to arrive at an initial Probability of Collapse in 50 years in Steps 2 through 5.

 ## Final Iteration
 With the First and Second Iterations bracketing the target probability of collapse (1%), the ground motion for the Final Iteration can be precisely selected during Step 1 to result in Steps 2 through 5 to correspond to a 1% probability of structural collapse. This ground motion value is referred to as the risk-targeted ground motion, or "RTGM". The Risk Coefficient, or "RC", is simply the ratio of the RTGM divided by the uniform hazard ground motion ("UHGM").

 ## 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.
