Analysis of Response Spectra using Microearthquakes of Southeastern Korean Peninsula

한반도 남동부 미소지진을 이용한 응답스펙트럼 분석

Microearthquake records with magnitude 2.6~3.1 recorded in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula during 1994~1998 are analyzed. Total of 42 records consisted of 12 events instrumented at 7 stations. The response spectra with the above data shows that the frequency range of the dominant response is about 10~25Hz and are compared with the standard response spectrum. The result implies that the characteristics of the microearthquake ground motion differ from those of standard response spectrum presented in US NRC Reg. Guide 1.60 especially at higher frequencies.
