Representative figure

Marginal probability distributions of VS30 and VSsoil at 21 accelerometer stations, with NEHRP site-class boundaries and mean and standard-deviation markers. — Profiles extend to as much as 1,000 m and generally agree with borehole constraints; VS30, rock depth, and soil velocity yield site classes B–D.
