Abstract
We describe the methods used to obtain seismic design spectra adopted for different zones of Mexico's Federal District in 1987 Building Code. Paper exposes the two approaches followed in the study, deterministic and probabilistic. The assumptions adopted are presented and justified. Several aspects that require detailed scrutiny are pointed out.Keywords
