Abstract

On the basis of Vs30 and Vs20calculated from shearwave velocity profiles of 732 boreholes, a formula to estimate Vs20 from Vs30 is presented in this paper by reference to a recent suggestion, an iterative process to estimate rough overburden thickness is suggested based on two formulas for the average velocity at depth z from Vs30 and Vs20, and the velocity between two depths. A way to evaluate the site category by Chinese classification from the corresponding Vs30 is worked out.
