Abstract

In this study, the importance of implied strength correction for shallow depths at a region of moderate to low seismicity with primary focus on its effect upon site natural period and mean period of the ground motion is investigated. In addition to the most commonly used Modified Kondner-Zelasko (MKZ) model, this paper uses a quadratic/hyperbolic (GQ/H) model that can capture the stress - strain response at large strains as well as small strain stiffness dependence. A total of six site profiles by downhole tests are used and 1D site response analyses are performed using three input motions with contrasting mean periods. The difference between non-corrected and corrected analyses is conditional on the site period as well as mean ground motion period. The effect of periods is analyzed by correlating them with the effective peak ground acceleration, maximum shear strains and amplification factors. The comparative study reveals that the difference is more prominent in soft sites with long site periods. Insignificant differences are observed when soil profiles are subjected to ground motion with very short mean period.

본 논문에서는 얕은 기반암 심도 및 지진 위험도가 상대적으로 낮은 지역에서 부지의 고유주기와 입력지진파의 평균주기의 영향에 따른 전단강도 보정의 필요성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 Modified Kondner-Zelasko(MKZ) 모델과 함께 미소변형률뿐만 아니라 대변형률 영역에서의 응력-변형률 거동을 모사할 수 있는 General Quadratic/Hyperbolic(GQ/H) 모델을 사용하였다. 6개 부지의 다운홀 시험 자료와 평균주기가 다른 3개의 입력지진파를 사용하여 1차원 부지응답해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 입력지진파의 평균주기뿐만 아니라 부지의 고유주기에 따라 전단강도 보정 적용 유무에 따른 해석 결과의 차이가 발생했다. 부지의 고유주기의 영향을 파악하기 위해 유효최대지반가속도, 최대전단변형률 및 증폭계수와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 부지의 고유주기가 길고 연약한 지반일수록 그 차이가 더욱 커지는 것을 확인하였다.
