VS30 Estimates Using Constrained H/V Measurements

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2009
Abstract Most seismic codes adopt the average shear-wave velocity as a key parameter in the first 30 m of subsoil ( V S 30 ). Estimates of V S 30 are therefore required for both large- and small-scale seismic microzonation. We propose a technique to measure the V S 30 based on the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (H/V) of microtremor ...

A Novel VS30 Prediction Strategy Taking Fluid Saturation into Account and a New VS30 Model of Türkiye

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2023
ABSTRACT The averaged shear-wave velocity of the top 30 m (VS30) is widely used in earthquake engineering as a proxy to represent site responses. However, the spatial availability of measured VS30 is rather limited, and, so far, a region-specific VS30 model that would aid prediction of strong ground motions is not yet developed for ...

A Texas‐specific VS30 map incorporating geology and VS30 observations

Earthquake Spectra, 2022
A Texas‐specific map that uses geostatistical kriging integrated with a region‐specific geologic proxy, field measurements of , and P‐wave seismogram estimates of is developed. The region‐specific geologic proxy is used first to predict from the surface geologic conditions across the state, and then geostatistical kriging with an external drift is ...

A VS30 Map for California with Geologic and Topographic Constraints

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2014
Abstract For many earthquake engineering applications, site response is estimated through empirical correlations with the time‐averaged shear‐wave velocity to 30 m depth ( V S 30 ). These applications therefore depend on the availability of either site‐specific V S 30 measurements or V S 30 maps at local, regional, and global scales. Because

H/V: un contributo oltre Vs30

open access: yes, 2012
Le norme tecniche sulle costruzioni di diverse nazioni prevedono una classificazione semplificata del suolo di fondazione articolata intorno al parametro Vs30 (velocità delle onde di taglio di uno strato omogeneo equivalente a 30 m), sulla base di una presunta correlazione tra questo valore e il fattore di amplificazione sismica stratigrafica ...

A Probabilistic Framework to Model Distributions of VS30

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2021
ABSTRACT The time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m depth from the ground surface, or VS30, is often used as a predictor to describe local site effects in ground-motion models. Although VS30 is typically determined from in situ measurements, it is not always feasible to obtain such measurements due to project restrictions or

Vs30: Proxy for Seismic Amplification?

Seismological Research Letters, 2008
The seismic codes of many countries base their site classifications on the Vs30 parameter, i.e., the average shear-wave velocity in the first 30 m of subsoil. And yet, despite the widespread use of this parameter, there is not universal agreement that this is a valid proxy for seismic amplification.
