The seismic response characteristics of the Yellow River terrace are crucial, as it is one of the key human activity areas. Seismic response characteristics of Yellow River terrace stations in Ningxia were analyzed using strong-motion earthquake records from seismic observations in the Loess Plateau and corresponding station data, employing the Horizontal-to-Vertical Velocity Response Spectrum Ratio method. The seismic vulnerability coefficient (Kg) was computed, and the bedrock depth was estimated. The results indicate that the spectral ratio curves of the Yellow River terrace can be classified into three types: single-peak, multi-peak, and ambiguous-peak types. The predominant period of the terraces ranges from 0.12 to 1.22 s, and the amplification factor ranges from 2.87 to 10.29. The calculated Kg values range from 2.09 to 63.24, and the bedrock depth ranges from 10.68 to 168.11 m. The site's predominant period, amplification factor, high Kg values, and deep bedrock depths can significantly impact seismic design, potentially leading to greater damage during earthquakes. Based on the predominant period, Kg values, and bedrock depth, the seismic vulnerability of Yinchuan is assessed to be high.
