Ground deposits formed exclusively by layers with propagation velocity bo = 700 m/s or modulus of rigidity >= 85000 t/m2

II Med. Soil

Ground deposits with fundamental period of vibration and effective velocity of propagation which meets the condition: bcT5 + b5Tc > bcTc

III Soft Soil

Ground deposits with fundamental period of effective vibration of propagation which meets the conditions: bcT5 + b5Tc < bcTc
