The thing I am striving to ask is that in reality the shear velocity and thereof soil stiffness near the soil surface are conspicuously infinitesimal; nonetheless, in all shear wave velocity profiles, the shear wave velocity of the depth of X is employed for the distance between point X to the ground level. First of all, how is the position of point X culled? Moreover, what is the rationale behind harnessing such a procedure?
