Hexi district of Nanjing city is an important new developing area where the engineering geology is similar and its morphologic unit is a high flood plain of the Yangtze river.The data of shear wave speeds of bedrocks and soils at 47 typical boreholes in the district were selected for regressive statistic analyses with three mathematical models;the correlation coefficient R（or the measured coefficient R2） was used to verify the linear correlation between Vsand H;the calculated SD values were based to select the best mathematical model.The regressive statistic analyses show that VS and H of various bedrocks and soils in the district is remarkably correlated linearly

which indicates the regressive statistic analyses with the mathematical models are feasible.The forecast of the shear wave speeds and the classification of soils on two sites have shown that the empirical relation VS-H of various bedrocks and soils in the district is reliable

accords with the feature of local bedrocks and soils

and is applicable for engineering in the range of sampling depths with sufficient accuracy.
