On the Relation between Empirical Amplification and Proxies Measured at Swiss and Japanese Stations: Systematic Regression Analysis and Neural Network Prediction of Amplification

摘要

We address the relation between local amplification and site‐condition indicators derived from in situ geophysical surveys for the estimation of the VS profile, and single‐station recordings processed with horizontal‐to‐vertical spectral ratio technique. Site‐condition indicators, or proxies (e.g., VS30?), aim at “summarizing” the description of the local geophysical structure, with a focus on its relation to site amplification.
