Statistical Analysis on Shear Wave Velocity of Soils in Bohai Gulf

Abstract:

The shear wave velocity is an important parameter in the geo-seismic analysis. The corresponding database of shear wave velocity is founded by collecting and sorting out the data of superficial soil layers in Bohai Gulf. The scatter diagrams of soil shear wave velocity and depth are drawn using the software of ORIGIN. The exponential regression equation is selected by adopting the goodness-of-fit for evaluation index; the regression coefficients about shear wave velocity with depth of four categories of soils are fitted. The results show that there is a good relationship in the exponential form between the shear wave velocity and depth of superficial soil layers in Bohai Gulf. The obtained results can be directly provided a reference for the field without shear wave velocity.
