Fig. 5From: Blind study site assessment of shear-wave velocity at Kumamoto City, Japan, using direct-fitting SPAC methodsa SPAC spectra for Preferred model compared with BP1 model, for station separation 10 m. Black: observed SPAC; Green: Preferred model effective mode; Blue: BP1 model effective mode. Standard deviation of fit computed over frequencies 2–38 Hz shows: Std dev for Preferred model is poor; 0.28, Std dev for BP1 model is fair; 0.13 b SPAC spectra for Preferred model compared with BP1 model, for station separation 277 m. Colors as for (a) Standard deviation of fit computed over frequencies 0.5–2.5 Hz shows: Std dev for Preferred model is poor; 0.17, Std dev for BP1 model is good; 0.06Back to article page
