This study delves into the role of Vs in understanding the geotechnical behavior of shallow structures across diverse geological settings in the United States. Shear wave velocity, an indicator of soil stiffness, plays a pivotal role in determining the dynamic properties of soils and the potential seismic response of structures. Variations in Vs can significantly influence ground motion amplification, settlement, and stability under seismic loading. Keyphrases: Seimic, WAVE, building, shear, variations
