Abstract

For more reliable estimation of soil-structure interaction and seismic source and attenuation properties, site amplification function should be considered. This study use the Nakamura's method (1989) for estimating site amplification though various methods for the same purpose have been proposed. This method was originally applied to the surface waves of background noise and therefore there are some limitation for applications to general wave energy. However, recently this method has been extended and applied to the S wave energy successfully. This study applied the method to the coda wave energy which is equivalent to the backscattered S wave energy. We used more than 60 observed ground motions from 5 earthquakes which occurred recently, with magnitude range from 3.6 to 5.1 Each station showed characteristic site amplification property in low-, high- and resonance frequency ranges. In the case of comparing these results to those from S wave energy, lots of information to the site classification work can be gained. Moreover, removal of site amplification can give us more reliable seismic source parameters.

지진원 및 구조물과 지반상호간의 동적 특성을 보다 신뢰성 있게 도출하기 위해 지반의 증폭특성은 반드시 고려되어야하는 요소이다. 지반증폭 특성을 분석할 때 여러 가지 방법이 제시되어 있으나 본 연구에서는 Nakamura(1989)에 의해 제시된 방법을 적용하였다. 본 방법은 얕은 지반의 상시미동의 표면파 특성을 이해하기 위해 제시되어 한계점이 존재하나 근래에 와서 S파 등에 적용되어 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성연구에 많이 이용되고 있다. 일반적으로 S파가 이용되고 있으나 본 연구에서는 지진파 에너지인 Coda 파에 새로이 적용하였다. 최근 국내에 설치된 지진 관측기에 관측된 5개 지진(규모 3.6-5.1)의 약 60 여개의 관측자료를 이용하여 지진관측소 각각 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성을 분석하였다. 관측소마다 저진동수, 고진동수 및 우월주파수가 서로 다른 증폭특성을 보여주었다. 본 연구 결과 관측지반진동에서 지반 고유의 증폭특성을 제거하면 지진원 변수를 보다 신뢰성 있게 도출할 수 있다.
