Abstract：Test methods which are suitable for testing shear wave velocity in the offshore site and intertidal zone are studied and compared. The shear wave velocity in-situ test for the Xiaoyangkou intertidal zone of Yellow Sea is conducted. The statistical relationships between change law of shear wave velocity and soil parameters are analyzed and the shear wave velocity is predicted by the built relationships. In addition，some applications of test data are analyzed. The research results show that：(1) The suspension test method for shear wave velocity is appropriate in the study site by the comparison of economic applicability. (2) There exist power function relationships between the shear wave velocity and the depth of test data and they have a good relativity. In the meantime，according to statistical relationship analysis of soil layers，the correlations and envelope curves basically reflect their regularity. (3) The relationships between shear wave velocity and soil parameters are power or linear functions，and they correlated well. (4) Based on the test data，compound relationships are established among shear wave velocity ，void ratio e，density and effective gravity stress . Based on the methods，good function results can be achieved through the contrast analysis of the calculation results；and other prediction analysis for relative parameters can also be performed. (5) Furthermore，based on the in-situ test data，soil type classification，dynamic parameters calculation and earthquake liquefaction judgments are carried out. The methods and results can provide references for survey and design engineers.
