Abstract

To estimate seismic source and soil-structure interaction more reliably, site amplification characteristics should be considered. Among the various estimation methods, we used Nakamura's method (1989) to estimate site amplification. This method was originally applied to background noise; however, it has recently been successfully applied to S-wave and Coda-wave energy, and is applied to S-waves in the present study. We used more than 180 observed ground motions from 23 macro-earthquakes and then analyzed site amplification characteristics at eight seismic stations. Each station showed characteristics of site amplification properties in the low-, high- and resonance-frequency ranges. Comparison of the present results with those of other studies provide successful information regarding the dynamic amplification of domestic site characteristics and site classification.

지진원 및 구조물과 지반상호간의 동적 특성을 보다 신뢰성 있게 분석하기 위해 지반의 증폭특성은 반드시 고려되어야 하는 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 제시되었으나. 최근 S파 및 Coda파 등에 적용되어 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성연구에 많이 이용되고 있으며 본 연구에서 S파 에너지에 적용하여 분석하였다. 최근 국내의 관측소에 관측된 23개의 규모 3.0 이상의 지진으로 부터 관측된 180 여개의 관측된 지반진동 자료를 분석하여 8개 주요 국내 지진관측소 지반의 동적인 증폭특성을 분석하였다. 각각의 지진관측소마다 저진동수, 고진동수 특성 및 관측소 고유의 우월진동수가 서로 상이하여 관측소 고유의 증폭특성을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 결과를 다른 분석방법을 적용하여 얻어진 결과와 비교하면 국내 지반의 동적 특성 및 지반분류 연구에 많은 정보를 줄 수 있다고 사료된다.
