Having a reliable site classification scheme is vital for the development of robust strong-motion attenuation models. We discuss a promising site classification scheme based on strong-motion data from Japan. We assigned site classes for those K-net sites where boreholes reached either to rock or to stiff soils with shear-wave velocity of 700m/s or larger, using four site classes defined by dominant site period. The response spectral ratios of the horizontal and vertical components (H/V) of earthquake records from these sties were found not to be strongly affected by JMA magnitude, hypocentral distance, and focal depth for all site classes. We used H/V ratios for records from the classified K-net sites to establish a site classification index using the mean spectral ratios and the standard deviations of the ratios. Using the index, we were able to classify both K-net stations with soil layers thicker than 20m and other strongmotion stations in Japan. The site amplification factors calculated from the site class terms based on the new site classification are consistent with the period bands defined for these site classes.
