The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) has been widely applied to evaluate ground characteristics such as site response and thickness of the soft sedimentary layer on top of the bedrock via dominant frequencies and amplification factors of microtremors. Eight seismic stations were selected to investigate the HVSR results at the surface and at varying depths, and their variations due to wind speeds. These stations are equipped with seismic sensors on the surface and downhole(s) at depths. The borehole data analysis reveals that the geological condition at burial depth influences the HVSR results. Their dominant frequencies indicate the entire thickness of the soft layer, not the thickness to the bottom or top of the soft sedimentary layer from the seismometer burial depth. Analysis of the background noise observed at the surface showed that the resonance frequency estimation varied with wind speed changes. In the studied cases, the background noise observed in the sedimentary layer at depths of 20 to 66 meters yielded stable and consistent resonance frequency estimation regardless of wind speed fluctuations. The results of the seismic sensors buried deeper than 100 meters are unstable. The result indicates that the background noise from the buried seismometer at shallow depths (~0.3 m) under light wind conditions (wind speeds less than 3 m/s) is sufficient to achieve the purpose of the HVSR analysis.

For the rapid and accurate warning, the system requires not only the sufficient number of seismometers but also the appropriate detection technique of sensor data. Instead of installing new seismometers, on-board accelerometers of the train could be utilized as alternatives. However, the data from on-board accelerometers includes train vibrations and the response of embankment site by earthquake, which are different from earthquakes measured from the seismometer. This study suggests signal analysis technique to detect earthquake from the on-board accelerometer data. The virtual on-board accelerometer data including the response of embankment site, obtained from site response analysis method, has been constructed. The constructed data has been analyzed using short time Fourier transform (STFT) and wavelet transform (WT). STFT method provides better performance to detect long-period earthquake whereas WT method is more available to detect short-period earthquake.

강진을 고려한 지진설계 규준은 약진지역에서는 불필요한 경제적 손실을 가져올 수 있고, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 성능기준 설계가 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서 중요하다는 것이 인식되었다. 이 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 놓인 단자유도계의 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 해석을 지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 최대지진가속도를 0.07g와 0.11g로 조정한 11개 중, 약진에 대해 수행하였다. 지진 응답해석은 지반-구조물체계에 대해 유사 3차원 동적해석 프로그램으로 암반에 지진기록을 입력하여 한 단계에 일괄적으로 수행하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면 고정지반이나 선형지반을 가정한 지진응답 스펙트럼은 구조물-지반체계의 실제적인 거동을 보여주지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서는 지진규준에 정해진 일상적인 설계절차에 따라서 수행하는 것보다 다른 성질을 가진 여러 지반에 대해서 성능기준 지진설계를 수행하는 것이 필요하다. 약진을 받는 연약지반의 비선형성도 입력지진동을 증폭시켜 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 스펙트럼에 심하게 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 현상은 특히 탄성 응답스펙트럼에서 두드러졌다.

We introduce OBS and sonobuoy systems which are the typical wide-angle reflection/refraction seismic recorders made by KORDI for the investigation of crustal structure and the sediment/basement structure in the coastal area. These recording devices are examined for their usage through the test survey. The normal operation of these devices were proved and good recordings were obatined. The head waves are recognized in the sonobuoy records, which shows the possibility of velocity structure survey by the refraction and/or tomography method.

Current earthquake alert notification for immediate post-earthquake procedures for the critical facilities is exclusively dependent on the ground-motion intensity measures observed at the seismic station located within the site. This practice is prune to false notification due to a noise and problems of missing and poor quality records of the seismic station. The credibility of the earthquake alert notification can be enhanced by utilizing the multiple transformed records of the nearby seismic stations at other sites interconnected to the same earthquake monitoring system by a network. The time-domain transformation of the site-response between the seismic stations is implemented by convoluting the nearby records with a pair of forward and inverse FIR filters designed for the site response relative to a seismic basement. The transformed records from the nearby seismic stations can be used to estimate the ground-motion intensity measures missing at the site or to evaluate the data quality along with other various possible applications in the area of geoscience and earthquake engineering.

비보강 조적조는 비균일재료로 이루어진 합성재료에 가까우므로 그거동이 하중종류와 구조물의 손상정도에 따라서 매우 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 작은 지진부터 큰 지진까지 수차례의 모의 지진을 받는 구조물의 손상거동을 살펴보기 위한 방법으로, 시간영역 자료를 여러구간으로 나누어서 주파수가 어떻게 변화해 가는지 살펴보았다. 또한 주파수와 강도와의 관계식을 이용하여 단자유도계의 이선형모델도 유도하였다. 하중이 커짐에 따라서 이선형 모델의 강성은 계속적으로 저하됨을 알 수 있다. 실제로 실험결과는 누적된 손상을 받는 구조물의 거동이므로, 조적조의 수치해석적 모델의 개발시 이러한 누적된 손상효과를 합리적으로 처래해야 되는 문제점이 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibilities of identifying and detecting underground cavities using seismic waves recorded by the fixed and mobile stations. During 18 months of field work we recorded chemical explosions near the Bongdarn station. Seismic Stations were installed on the free surface and underground inside the Samba mine. The seismograms at the fixed(lorg-term) seismic station show abrupt change of polarization characteristics which can he associated with the appearance of P-to-S converted phase(PS) at 150 ~ 200 msec after the first P arrival. This result indicates that converted phases are generated very near to the Bongdarn station at a depth of 190m. Shear-wave splitting phenomena have also been observeci The time delay between fast shear(fS) and slow shear(sS) waves ranges between 30 and 60 msec(average is 42 msec). However, exact time delay between the fast and the slow shear waves can not be accurately measured because of the very short time delay and limitation of sampling rate. Chemical explosion experiments were recorded at stations along various paths to contrast the seismic response of areas with and without cavities. The seismograms recorded at the stations installed at cavity areas show an abrupt change of polarization characteristics but not on the other stations. Seismic waves propagating through the cavity are characterized by the attenuation of high frequency waves and predominantly low frequency seismic waves after the S wave arrivals.

상수관망시스템은 정수처리 된 용수를 수요처에 공급하는 사회기반시설물이며, 주로 지하에 매설되는 시설물의 특성상 관로에 누수가 발생하였을 경우, 정확한 발생지점을 파악하기가 어렵다. 특히, 지진에 의해 시스템 내 다중지점에 누수가 발생할 경우, 장기간 경제적 손실과 사용자의 불편이 예상되므로 신속히 누수지점을 파악한 후, 피해 관로의 적절한 교체 혹은 보수가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지진으로 인해 상수관망에 발생한 다중 누수관로의 정확한 탐지를 위해 다양한 누수탐지 기법을 제안하고 모의결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 가상의 다중 누수 시나리오를 모의한 후, 시스템 내 설치된 수압계와 유량계의 누수발생 전, 후 모니터링 값을 이용하여 1) 최적화 알고리즘을 이용한 Calibration 기법, 2) 수리해석을 통한 누수지점 역추적 기법, 3) 인공신경망을 이용한 Pattern 학습법 등을 적용하였다. 동일한 다중 누수 시나리오를 각 누수탐지 기법에 적용함으로써 누수지점 산정 결과에 대한 정확도를 비교, 분석하였다. 본 연구는 최근 국내에서 발생빈도가 높아지고 있는 지진재해 발생에 대비하여 상수관망시스템의 지진피해 복구 연구를 위해 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
