Shear-wave velocity and site-amplification factors for 50 Australian sites determined by the spectral analysis of surface waves method

January 23, 2015

One-dimensional shear-wave velocity (V_S ) profiles are presented at 50 strong motion sites in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. The V_S profiles are estimated with the spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method. The SASW method is a noninvasive method that indirectly estimates the V_S at depth from variations in the Rayleigh wave phase velocity at the surface.
