STUDY ON SITE CONDITIONS BASED ON TOPOGRAPHIC SLOPE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 The travel-time averaged shear-wave velocity to a depth of 30m (Vs30) below the Earth’s surface is widely used to classify sites in many building codes. Vs30 is also used to estimate site classification in recent ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs)
