Abstract

Site characteristic is an important input parameter in the geologic hazard assessments including, but not limited to, earthquakes, liquefaction and landslides. Although it is a routine to use data collected by boreholes or seismic prospecting for site classifications, we used indirect methods using the geologic and the topographic maps. A site classification map in the Gyeongsang Province has been produced by GIS tools based on geologic age, rock types, and elevations from the geologic map and the topographic map of Korea. Site B (rock site) is dominant in the study area, although softer soils are observed along rivers and in reclaimed lands. We have found that 73% of the site classification results in the study are in concordance with those obtained from borehole data. Observed discrepancies are attributed to errors in the geologic and the topographic maps. For some sites, the origin of the differences is not clear, which requires a further field study or a drilling. Site classification from this study provides essential information for reliable hazard assessments of earthquakes, floods, landslides and liquefaction. Results obtained in the study also play a crucial role in land use planning for developing areas.

지반특성은 지진동, 액상화 및 산사태 등으로 인한 지질재해 위험성 평가에서 중요한 요소로 사용될 수 있다. 일반적으로 지역적 지반특성을 규명하기 위한 지반분류에서는 시추나 탄성파 탐사를 이용하는 방법을 많이 사용하나, 이번 연구에서는 지질도와 지형도를 활용하였다. 본 연구에서는 수치지질도로부터 지질시대와 암상 자료를 추출하고, 지형도로부터는 고도와 경사도 자료를 추출한 후 GIS를 사용하여 경상남북도 지역의 지반을 분류하였다. 그 결과 연구지역의 지반은 지반분류 B(보통암)가 우세하게 나타나며, 하천과 매립지 부근에서는 이보다 연약한 지반으로 이루어져 있다. 이 결과를 연구지역의 시추자료를 사용한 지반분류와 비교해보면 약 73% 정도 일치한다. 오차원인은 주로 지질도 혹은 지형도에서 기인한다고 사료되며, 일부는 시추작업과 현장조사를 통해 직접적인 오류원인을 찾아야 하는 경우도 있다. 이 연구 결과는 지진, 홍수, 사태 및 액상화 등의 지질재해 및 토지이용계획 수립 시 유용한 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
