Abstract

The interest on the potential earthquake magnitude and the request on the earthquake-resistant design examination for coastal structures are emerged because of the recently occurred magnitude 5.8 earthquake in Gyeoung-Ju, Korea. In this study, the magnitude and its confidence intervals with the return periods are estimated using the KMA earthquake magnitude data (over 3.5 and 4.0 in magnitude) by the non-parametric extreme value analysis. In case of using the "over 4.0" data set, the estimated magnitudes on the 50- and 100-years return periods are 5.81 and 5.94, respectively. Their 90% confidence intervals are estimated to be 5.52-6.11, 5.62-6.29, respectively. Even though the estimated magnitudes have limitations not considering the spatial distribution, it can be used to check the stability of the diverse coastal structures in the perspective of the life design because the potential magnitude and its confidence intervals in Korea are estimated based on the available 38-years data by the extreme value analysis.

최근 발생한 기록적인 5.8 규모의 경주지진으로 한반도에서 발생 가능한 지진규모에 대한 관심과 해안구조물에 대한 내진 설계검토에 대한 요구가 고조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 제공하는 지진규모 자료(규모 3.5, 4.0 이상의 자료)를 이용하여 비모수적인 극치해석 기법을 이용하여 재현기간에 따른 지진규모와 신뢰구간을 추정하였다. 지진규모 4.0 이상의 자료를 이용하여 추정한 결과, 재현기간 50, 100년에 해당하는 지진규모는 각각 5.81, 5.94, 추정 지진규모의 90% 신뢰구간은 각각 5.52-6.11, 5.62-6.29 범위로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 추정한 지진규모는 공간적인 지진위험 영향을 반영하지 못하는 한계가 있으나, 한반도에서 발생 가능한 지진규모를 극치해석과 가용한 자료의 한정된 기간을 반영하여 신뢰구간을 추정하였기 때문에 다양한 연안 구조물의 설계 관점에서 활용이 가능하다.
