Average Shear

Site conditions can be classified by the average shear-wave velocity to 30 meters (Vs30) and used for estimating site effects in seismic hazard calculations. Large scale seismic hazard maps, which include site effects, may be produced, providing Vs30 can be well correlated with geologic units. Vs30 values for several geologic units can be easily classified into soil profile types of the UBC (ICBO 1997). Most geologic units have wide variations in Vs30 and some extensive geologic units, such as older alluvium, the Franciscan Complex or the Puente Formation cannot be easily classified.
