Electronic Supplement to
Empirical Quantification of the Impact of Nonlinear Soil Behavior on Site Response

by Julie Régnier, Héloïse Cadet, and Pierre-Yves Bard

This electronic supplement contains two tables and four figures. Tables S1 and S2 are the site characteristics of the subset 1 and subset 2 sites. Figures S1 and S3 are the same as Figure 5 of the main article but for the subset 1 and 3 sites, and Figures S2 and S4 are the same as Figure 6 of the main article but for the subset 1 and 3 sites.


Figures

Figure S1. Nonlinear-to-linear site-response ratio (RSRNL-L) curves for sites of subset 2 with peak ground acceleration (PGA) threshold values >100 cm/s2. (a) The RSRNL-L for all sites, with a color code related to their VS30 value as indicated in the legend. (b) The average of each VS30 class compared to the average (dashed black line), and the average ±1 standard deviation interval (gray area) of all sites and all VS30. The numbers of sites in each VS30 class are indicated in the legend in (b).

Figure S2. RSRNL-L curves for sites of subset 2 with PGA threshold values >100 cm/s2. (a) The RSRNL-L for all sites are shown with a color code related to their fundamental frequency f0. (b) The average of each f0 class compared to the average (dashed black line), and the average ±1 standard deviation interval (gray area) of all sites and all f0. The numbers of sites in each f0 class are indicated in the legend in (b).

Figure S3. RSRNL-L curves for sites of subset 2 with PGA threshold values >300 cm/s2. (a) The RSRNL-L for all sites, with a color code related to their VS30 value as indicated in the legend. (b) The average of each VS30 class compared to the average (dashed black line), and the average ±1 standard deviation interval (gray area) of all sites and all VS30. The numbers of sites in each VS30 class are indicated in the legend in (b).

Figure S4. RSRNL-L curves for sites of subset 2 with PGA threshold values >300 cm/s2. (a) The RSRNL-L for all sites with a color code related to their fundamental frequency f0. (b) The average of each f0 class compared to the average (dashed black line), and the average ±1 standard deviation interval (gray area) of all sites and all f0. The numbers of sites in each f0 class are indicated in the legend in (b).
