A special compiled database of shear moduli from different directional and polarization modes (HH, HV, and VH waves) at well-documented geologic sites shows that stiffness ratio (G0,HH/G0,VH) can be used to assess the yield stress ratio (YSR) in soils. In general, the reference profiles of YSR for these sites were determined using series of laboratory consolidation tests on undisturbed samples at varied elevations, coupled with a good understanding of the engineering geology background of the formations. For stress history assessment in soils, various empirical correlations were derived from multiple regression analyses using the stiffness ratio and additional variables.
► Small-strain shear modulus (G0) in soils is related to stress history.
► For stress history evaluation, a special in-situ shear wave database was compiled.
► Stress history can be assessed by degree of shear stiffness anisotropy (G0 ratio).
► Geologic time of depositional sediments is related to G0 ratio and stress history.
