title = "VS30 Correlations from Shear Wave Velocity Profiles in the UAE",
abstract = "The time averaged shear wave velocity to 30-m depth (VS30 ) is used for seismic hazard assessment for National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) site classification. There are several models to predict VS30 from average shear wave velocity to a depth (z) less than 30 m (VSz ). This study evaluates the prediction capability of the existing models in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The analyses show that there is a significant prediction biases in the existing models developed in different regions. By reviewing borehole data from the selected sites, it reveals that these biases are mainly because of the characteristic geology of the UAE where weak bedrock is encountered at shallow depths. This bedrock mostly shows a considerable variation in both clay content and the porosity which also have a direct effect on the prediction uncertainty.",
