• apparent velocity
• P-SV ratio
• equivalent incident angle
• rotational ground motion

The apparent velocity of the incident wave is an important parameter for simulating rotational ground motion with theoretical methods, but it is difficult to estimate effectively when there is only a single record. This paper discusses a P-SV ratio method based on elastodynamic theory in a multi-layer isotropic elastic half space. The apparent velocities of four earthquakes in the SMART array are calculated with this method. The result is close to a method that uses travel time analysis. Furthermore, the factors that impact the apparent velocity and equivalent incident angle are considered according to records from the Chi-Chi earthquake. There is no obvious relationship between the equivalent incident angle and epicenter. distance. However, the equivalent, incident angle is obviously dependent on the site conditions.
