Supplemental material, formerly available only from the journal, added here on 29 March 2022. To save space, the files for 3 km/s are not provided because an approximation of their values can be obtained by using the simple site amplification function given in the paper to go from Vs30 = 2 km/s to 3 km/s. The actual values can be obtained from the "official" supplementary material associated with the paper on the SRL web site. Also note that the files here are an abridged version of the files in the SRL supplemental files. The abridged files contain the essential information, without some details needed to obtain the final values. The description of the column headers in the main page of the supplement refers to the SRL supplemental files, but the names of the headers have not changed, so the description of the column headers in the abridged files are still valid.
