Two kinds of site classification methods commonly used in earthquake engineering are analyzed in this paper. One is standard methods stipulated in seismic codes, and used to determine the site effects on seismic parameters for the seismic resistance of structures, the site classification methods and site indexes in seismic codes of China, United States, Europe and Japan are presented, and the problems about site index are discussed, such as the calculation method and depth of shear wave velocity, the choice of initial layer, the grade of overburden thickness, etc. Then some suggestions are put forward for the new generation of seismic code in China. The other kind of site classification methods is used to predict site effects on a large scale for a regional seismic hazard prediction. The popularly studied methods based on geology, topography and geomorphology are described in detail.
