• NGA-West2 Equations for Predicting PGA, PGV, and 5% Damped PSA for Shallow Crustal Earthquakes (2014, background): “The site parameter VS30 strictly describes only the characteristics of sediments in the upper 30 m, even though it has been shown to be correlated to deeper structure (e.g., Boore et al. 2011).”
• The Uses and Limitations of the Square‐Root‐Impedance Method for Computing Site Amplification (2013, unknown): “Since then, the time averaged velocity to 30 m (VS30) has been widely used to characterize sites in recent GMPEs (and Boore et al., 2011, show that VS30 correlates well with VSz, for averaging depths z both less than and much greater than 30 m).”
• Exploring the model space and ranking a best class of models in surface-wave dispersion inversion: Application at European strong-motion sites (2012, unknown): “This typology of parameterization is designed for reproducing the compaction of subsoil with depth in sedimentary environments (Ibs-von Seht and Jürgen, 1999; Parolai et al., 2002; Boore et al., 2011).”
• Updated predictive equations for broadband (0.01–10 s) horizontal response spectra and peak ground motions, based on a global dataset of digital acceleration records (2015, result): “…we are comforted in this choice by: (a) the fact that the VS,30 values in our dataset seem to reflect themselves into credible dominant periods of site response and, (b) previous studies by Boore (2004) and Boore et al. (2011) showing that VS,30 is well correlated to the deeper subsoil structure.”
