Seismic wave amplification in shallow subsurface soils is governed by the local shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles. This study focuses on the assessment of 1-D dynamic soil properties, specifically Vs profiles, in Cumilla, Bangladesh. This study involves a variety of shallow seismic techniques, including 10 downhole seismic tests (DST), 12 non-invasive active multichannel analysis of surface waves measurements (MASW), and an equal number of passive microtremor array measurements (MAM).
