Ground deposits formed exclusively by layers with propagation velocity b0 = 700 m/s or modulus of rigidity ³ 85000.

II - Medium Soil

Ground deposits with fundamental period of vibration and effective velocity of propagation which meets the condition Bc Ts + Bs Tc > Bc Tc.

III - Soft Soil

Ground deposits with fundamental period of vibration and effective velocity of propagation which meets the condition Bc Ts + Bs Tc < Bc Tc.
