NCREE Develops Generic Shear-Wave Velocity Profiles for Taiwan
Structures · AEC industry
NCREE developed four generic shear-wave velocity profiles down to geological bedrock by compiling borehole and geophysical data in Taiwan.
Researchers at NCREE integrated measured shear-wave velocity profiles and geophysical data in Taiwan to build generic shear-wave velocity profiles extending to geological bedrock (VS = 3 km/s) for target VS30 values of 180, 360, 540, and 760 m/s, addressing limitations of using only shallow site metrics.
Key takeaways
- Data across very shallow, shallow, intermediate, and deep layers were integrated and smoothly connected down to the geological bedrock.
- The profiles serve as deep-layer references for site response analyses, with future work targeting nonlinear site response modeling.
