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

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

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