국내 풍화지반의 토량환산계수를 정확하고 합리적으로 추정하는 것은 공사의 성패에 있어 매우 중요한 사항이다. 하지만 현업에서는 풍화지반의 풍화도를 정량화하는 것이 어렵고, 토량환산계수를 적용 시 외국의 기준을 사용하는 경우가 빈번하다. 뿐만 아니라, 국내 풍화지반의 토량환산계수에 관한 연구는 아직 미비하여, 끊임없이 토량환산계수의 정확성 및 사용성에 대해 문제 제기가 있어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TEPS (Tunnel Electrical resistivity Prospecting System)를 이용하여 화강암의 풍화 정도와 전기비저항의 상관관계를 도출하고 풍화지반 내 흙이 차지하는 비율(S/W 비)을 전기비저항과 개괄적으로 상관관계를 맺어 전기비저항을 이용하여 토량환산계수를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 현장 관리자가 풍화지반에서 쉽게 토량환산계수 및 토공량에 관한 정보를 획득할 수 있도록 풍화지반 토공관리프로그램(WEMP)을 개발하고 토량환산계수 측정시스템을 설계하였다.

Earthquake-induced disasters are often more severe in locations with soft soils than firm soils or rocks due to differences in ground motion amplification. On a regional scale, such differences can be estimated by spatially predicting subsurface soil thickness over the entire target area. In general, soil deposits are generally deeper in coastal or riverside areas than in inland regions. In this study, a coastal metropolitan area, Incheon, was selected to assess site effects and provide information on seismic hazards. Spatial prediction of geotechnical layers was performed for the entire study area within the GIS framework. Approximately 7,000 existing borehole drilling data in the Incheon area were gathered and archived into the GIS Database (DB). In addition, surface geotechnical data were acquired from a walkover survey. Based on the built geotechnical DB, spatial zoning maps of site-specific seismic response parameters were created and presented for use in a regional seismic strategy. Site response parameters were performed to determine site coefficients for seismic design over the entire target area and compared with each other. Site classifications and subsequent seismic zoning were assigned based on site coefficients. From this seismic zonation case study in Incheon, we verified that geotechnical GIS-DB can create spatial zoning maps of site-specific seismic response parameters that are useful for seismic hazard mitigation particularly in coastal metropolitan areas.

Site amplification should be considered in order to estimate Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI), seismic source and attenuation parameters with a greater degree of reliability. The horizontal to vertical (H/V) ratio technique, originally proposed by Nakamura (1989), has been applied to analyze the surface waves in microtremor records. Recently, its application has been extended to the shear wave energy of strong motion in order to study the site transfer function. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the H/V spectral ratio using the observed data from 9 seismic stations distributed within the Southern Korean Peninsula, from the Odesan earthquake (2007/01/20). The results show that most of the stations have more stable amplification characteristics in a low frequency band than in a high frequency band. However, each seismic station showed its own characteristic resonant frequency and low and high frequency. The resonant frequency at each station should be estimated carefully, because the quality of seismic data is dependent on the resonant frequency. It can be obtained more reliable results of seismic source and attenuation parameters, if seismic ground motions which deconvolved from site transfer function is used. The site amplification data from this study can be used to generally classify the sites within the Southern Korean Peninsula.

우리나라는 산악지형 특성상 붕적층이 발달한 지역이 많아 도로나 건축물이 계획될 경우 일반적으로 이러한 지역을 배제하는 계획을 수립하게 된다. 그러나 현장 여건상 불가피하게 붕적층 구간을 포함한 건설 계획이 수립될 경우 지반 굴착, 사면 절취로 인해 지반 거동특성이 불안정할 수 있으므로 상세한 사전 조사와 적절한 토공 및 굴착 계획과 시공 중 Feed Back 등이 면밀히 이루어져야 한다. 붕적층 지반은 소량의 토사에 자갈, 호박돌, 전석 등이 혼재되어 있는 상태로 주로 테일러스에 의해 생성되며, 암괴의 함량이 매우 높으며 소량의 풍화된 잔류토사가 혼재된 양상을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 붕적층이 깊게 분포하는 지역, 특히 배면에 지장물(상수도관 등)문제로 인해 발생한 가시설 붕괴지역을 사례로 역해석을 통한 붕적층의 지반정수 재평가를 실시하였다.

In the practice of preloading method for soft ground improvement, field engineers need information of ground properties, construction works and field monitoring on ground behaviors of the site. So, integrating all these informations into one database can provide more efficient way for managing and utilizing the data for construction management. In this study, integrated system for construction management of ground improvement sites under preloading is developed. The developed system consists of database (DB) and application program. The database contains all collected data in a construction site and processed data in the system with their geographic information. All informations in the database are standardized from the result of data characterization. Application program performs various functions on managing and utilizing information in the database; pre- and post- data processing with graphic visualization of output, spatial data interpolation, and prediction of ground behavior using field measuring data. And by providing integrating informations and predictions over entire project area with comprehensible visual displays, the applicability and effectiveness of the developed system for construction management were confirmed.

With development of the earth's subsurface space, the need for a reliable subsurface spatial model such as a cross-section, boring log is increasing. However, the ground mass was essentially uncertain. To generate model was uncertain because of the shortage of data and the absence of geotechnical interpretation standard(non-statistical uncertainty) as well as field environment variables(statistical uncertainty). Therefore, the current interpretation of the data and the generation of the model were accomplished by a highly trained experts. In this study, a geotechnical ontology model was developed using the current expert experience and knowledge, and the information content was calculated in the ontology hierarchy. After the relative distance between the information contents in the ontology model was combined with the distance between cluster centers, a cluster analysis that considered the geotechnical semantics was performed. In a comparative test of the proposed method, k-means method, and expert's interpretation, the proposed method is most similar to expert's interpretation, and can be 3D-GIS visualization through easily handling massive data. We expect that the proposed method is able to generate the more reasonable subsurface spatial information model without geotechnical experts' help.

Observed ground motions are composed of three factors such as, seismic source, attenuation, and site amplification effect. Among them, the site amplification characteristics should be considered significantly when estimating seismic source and attenuation characteristics with more confidence. The site effect is also necessary when estimating not only seismic hazard in seismic design engineering but also rock mechanical properties. This study uses the method of H/V spectral ratio of observed ground motion between target site and reference site called a reference site method. In addition to using the vertical Fourier spectrum of the reference site, we try out the horizontal Fourier spectrum as a new method in this study. We analyze H/V spectral ratio of six ground motions respectively, observed at four sites close to Yedang Reservoir. We then compare site amplification effects at each site using 3 kinds of seismic energies including S waves, Coda waves energy, and background noise. The results suggest that each site showed similar site amplification patterns in S waves and Coda waves energy. However, the site amplification of background noise shows much different characteristics from those of S waves and Coda wave energy, which suggests that the background noises at each site have their own developing mechanism. Each station shows its own characteristics of specific resonance frequency and site amplification properties in low, high and specific resonance frequency ranges. Comparison of the method used in this study to the others that used different methods can provide us with more information about the dynamic amplification of a site characteristics and site classification.
