The Preliminary Study on the Impact of the Velocity <i>Situ</i> Test Standard Deviation to the Response Spectra in Deep-Soft Sites

Abstract

The test results of shear-wave velocity in engineering are of being importance increasingly, but the the uncertainty of the wave test result has influenced the seismic design throughout. In order to describe this uncertainty accurately , the paper has taken some research on the deep-soft sites seismic response. By using SHAKE 2000 program and entering various types of ground motions, the authors discussed the effect of shear-wave velocity standard deviation of several velocity values in deep-soft site to the ground response spectra and PGA(Peak Ground Acceleration). The results are as followed: the standard deviation of the shear-wave velocities has almost no influence on the acceleration response spectra and the PGA of the site; the varieties of response spectra and PGA under different intensity of earthquake can be nearly ignored. With the increasing number of the shear-wave velocity data, results of the study would be further in-depth and perfection.
