The earthquake-induced liquefaction of ground brings high possibility of failure of lifeline. If subsurface liquefaction is detected immediately after an earthquake the damage caused by the failure of lifeline can be reduced. The goal is achieved by deploying many accelerometers in the area of possible liquefaction and collecting records through a wireless network. This paper attempts to develop a measure to interpret the collected data oft surface motion and to assess the thickness of liquefied layers. For this purpose. both analysis of earthquake records and shaking table tests on model ground were carried out. It was shown that the thickness of liquefied layers can be assessed by using the maximum acceleration and the spectrum intensity at the surface.

지진 발생시에 비교적 큰 규모의 피해를 일으킬 수 있는 것이 지반의 액상화(liquefaction) 발생이다. 지반의 액상화 현상에 대한 연구는 1960년대 이후 세계적으로 괄목할 만한 성과를 얻어왔으며, 최근, 우리나라에서도 본격적으로 현장에서 적용하고 있다. 본 연구를 통하여 현장에서 액상화 평가 및 대책공법 적용까지의 과정을 분석할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 유사한 현장에서 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

해안구조물 설치시 기초지반의 안정성 해석을 위한 파랑에 기이한 액상화 메카니즘을 과잉간극수압(excess pore pressure) 현상과 관련하여 논의하였다. 과잉간극수압 발생 메커니즘에 있어서 두 가지 형태, 즉 변동과잉간극수압 (Oscillatory excess pore pressure) 및 잔류과잉간극수압 (Residual excess pore pressure) 각각에 기인한 액상화의 특성을 구명하였다. 또한, 과잉간극수압 및 해저지반의 액상화 가능성에 대한 평가공정을 제시하였는데 이는 모형실험과 현장관측자료에 의해 그 적용성이 검증되었다. 이러한 평가공정(Assessment Procedures)은 투수성 해저/기초 지반의 액상화를 추정하는데 이용될 수 있다. 해안구조물 기초 설계 및 해저 지반의 안정성 평가시 액상화의 가능성 또는 과잉간극수압의 적절한 평가.고려가 무엇보다 중요하다고 사료된다.

Liquefaction of soil foundation is one of the major seismic damage types for infrastructures. In this paper, deterministic and probabilistic approaches for the evaluation of liquefaction potential are briefly summarized and the risk assessment method is newly proposed using seismic fragility and seismic hazard analyses. Currently the deterministic approach is widely used to evaluate the liquefaction potential in Korea. However, it is very difficult to handle a certain degree of uncertainties in the soil properties such as elastic modulus and resistant capacity by deterministic approach, and the probabilistic approaches are known as more promising. Two types of probabilistic approaches are introduced including (1) the reliability analysis (to obtain probability of failure) for a given design earthquake and (2) the seismic risk analysis of liquefaction for a specific soil for a given service life. The results from different methods show a similar trend, and the liquefaction potential can be more quantitatively evaluated using the new risk analysis method.

Recently, Korean government has tried out to set up earthquake hazards prevention system. In the system, several geotechnical hazard maps including liquefaction hazard map and landslide hazard map for the whole country have drawn to consider the domestic seismic characteristics. To draw the macro liquefaction hazard map, big data of site investigations in metropolitan areas and provincial areas has to be verified for its application. In this research, we carried out site response analyses using 522 borehole site investigation data in S city during a desirable earthquake. The soil classification was separately compared to shear wave velocity considering the uncertainty of site investigation data. Probability distribution and statistical analysis for the results of site response analyses was applied to the feasibility study. Finally, we suggest a new site amplification coefficient, hereby presented with the similar results of liquefaction hazard mapping using the calculated liquefaction potential index by the site response analyses. Above-mentioned study will be expected to help to follow research and draw liquefaction hazard map in moderate seismic region.

The collapses and settlement of harbor facilities from earthquakes were known due mostly to liquefaction of reclaimed land. The most harbor quay wa1ls being designed as gravity types in Korea are known susceptible structures to liquefaction because reclaimed land was not treated resistant to earthquake. In this study, liquefaction susceptibility of reclaimed land behind a large quay walls under construction to earthquake was predicted and its stability was analyzed. In addition, liquefaction prediction methods in harbor facilities specification adopted by both Korea and Japan were compared by applying the methods to prediction of liquefaction susceptibility of reclaimed land, respectively.

The 2017 Pohang earthquake caused damage to quay structures due to liquefaction. Liquefaction occurs when effective stress is lost due to an increase in excess pore water pressure during an earthquake. As a result, the damage caused to the pier-type quay wall was identified and the damage caused by liquefaction was analyzed. In addition, in the case of improved ground, damage occurred due to liquefaction of the lower sand layer due to the difference in stiffness from the soft rock layer, so additional numerical analysis was performed assuming non-liquefaction ground. There are several factors that affect the increase in excess pore water pressure ratio, such as the relative density of the ground and the magnitude of the input seismic acceleration. Therefore, this study performed numerical analysis for Cases 1 to 3 by increasing the magnitude of the input acceleration, and in the case of improved ground, damage occurred due to liquefaction of the lower sand layer, so the analysis was performed assuming non-liquefaction ground. As a result, the improved ground requires additional reinforcement when there is liquefied ground below, and the horizontal displacement of the pier-type quay piles was reduced by about two times.

본 연구에서는 동적 점탄-점소성 구성식에 기초한 다층지반의 1차원 액상화 해석을 수행하였다. 일본 고베 포트아일랜드에서 발생한 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu 지진에 대하여 지반 모델링을 하였으며, 사질토 지반에는 탄소성 모델을, 점성토 지반에는 점탄-점소성 모델 및 탄-점소성 모델을 각각 적용하였다. 본 연구 결과, 모델 지반의 경우 지표 10 m 아래를 전후하여 액상화가 발생하였으며 액상화가 발생한 지반을 통과하는 지진파는 감쇠특성을 나타내고 이 때 전단변형률을 크게 증가시켰다. 또한, 대변형률 영역에서의 점성토의 동적거동 해석에서는 점소성 거동특성이 지배적이므로 점소성 모델의 적용이 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 한편 동적 점탄-점소성 구성모델은 대변형률 영역에서 점성토의 소성변형을 유발하는 대형 지진 발생시 점성토의 증폭 및 감쇠특성 분석에 적용 가능한 모델임을 확인하였다.

액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압 소산 특성을 파악하기 위하여 포화된 수평 모래지반에 대하여 1-g 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 진동대시험에는 주문진 표준사와 영종도 세사를 사용하였으며 상대밀도를 dir 20~30% 사이가 되도록 조성하였다. 간극수압계, 가속도계 그리고 LVDT 등으로 시험중의 지반거동을 계측하였으며, 4Hz의 sine 파를 0.15g에서 5초간 5회 반복하여 작용시켰다. 진동대시험을 분석한 결과 액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압의 소산속도는 그 지반의 투수성뿐 아니라 과잉간극수압 소산시 입자의 침강거리와 직접 관련이 있는 지반의 침하량에도 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 과정을 침강모래 이론으로 모델링하였을 때 입자의 침강속도와 투수계수 사이의 비례 관계는 침강모래 이론에서의 가정한 것과는 달리 모래의 종류에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 Terzaghi의 압밀이론으로는 액상화 후 과잉간극수압의 소산과정을 적절히 모사할 수 없었다.
