Site response in ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPEs) is primarily characterized as a function of the time‐averaged shear‐wave velocity over the top 30 m of the site profile (⁠VS30⁠). Although the use of VS30 as a main site‐response predictor parameter is practical, GMPE site adjustments to different target regions or target site conditions require characterization of the GMPE’s rock‐site response in terms of host VS profile and host kappa. Regional VS profiles and kappa values have been traditionally used to characterize GMPEs host site conditions. These regional site properties may not reflect the average site response in GMPEs. We present a methodology, based on the quarter‐wavelength principles, that allows the derivation of GMPE‐compatible host 1D VS profiles and kappa values. This methodology is applied to the Next Generation Attenuation‐West2 (NGA‐West2) GMPEs to derive GMPE‐specific host VS profiles and kappa for western United States (WUS) site conditions with VS30 of 360, 490, 620, 760, and 1100 m/s. This application uses, for input, the GMPEs’ site response in Fourier amplitude spectra domain relative to a reference VS30 of 1000 m/s and requires an assigned VS profile for the reference site condition. The impact of the choice of reference VS profile on the results is not large. Comparisons of the derived GMPE‐specific VS profiles for VS30 of 760 m/s show differences in the host VS profiles among the NGA‐West2 GMPEs for the same site condition in WUS. Differences are also observed when comparing the derived GMPE‐compatible VS profiles with the commonly used profiles for WUS for VS30 of 760 m/s. These differences highlight the importance of using GMPE‐compatible VS profiles and kappa in GMPE adjustments and in site‐response analyses. Limitations of this approach for soft site conditions are discussed.

一种开发与地面运动预测方程兼容的一维参考 VS 剖面的方法:在 NGA-West2 GMPE 中的应用

地面运动预测方程 (GMPE) 中的场地响应主要表征为场地剖面顶部 30 m 上的时间平均横波速度的函数 (⁠VS30⁠)。尽管使用 VS30 作为主要的站点响应预测参数是实用的,但针对不同目标区域或目标站点条件的 GMPE 站点调整需要根据宿主 VS 剖面和宿主 kappa 来表征 GMPE 的岩石站点响应。区域 VS 配置文件和 kappa 值传统上已用于表征 GMPE 宿主站点条件。这些区域站点属性可能无法反映 GMPE 中的平均站点响应。我们提出了一种基于四分之一波长原理的方法,该方法允许推导出与 GMPE 兼容的主机 1D VS 配置文件和 kappa 值。该方法应用于下一代 Attenuation-West2 (NGA-West2) GMPE,以推导出 GMPE 特定宿主 VS 配置文件和美国西部 (WUS) 站点条件的 kappa,VS30 为 360、490、620、760 和 1100 m /秒。此应用程序使用 GMPE 在傅立叶幅度谱域中相对于 1000 m/s 参考 VS30 的站点响应作为输入,并且需要为参考站点条件分配一个 VS 配置文件。参考VS配置文件的选择对结果的影响并不大。760 m/s VS30 的派生 GMPE 特定 VS 配置文件的比较显示了 WUS 中相同站点条件下 NGA-West2 GMPE 之间宿主 VS 配置文件的差异。将派生的 GMPE 兼容 VS 配置文件与 760 m/s 的 VS30 的 WUS 常用配置文件进行比较时,也观察到差异。这些差异突出了在 GMPE 调整和站点响应分析中使用与 GMPE 兼容的 VS 配置文件和 kappa 的重要性。讨论了这种方法在软场地条件下的局限性。
