Abstract
The knowledge of the shear wave velocity (VS) profile at a given site is of major importance in earthquake engineering. The geophysical techniques generally used in soil dynamics to obtain shear wave velocity as a function of depth are the borehole tests (Jongmans, 1992), which are expensive and limited to shallow depths.
