역사적 지진 발생 기록이 풍부하고 양산 단층 영향권 내에 있어 지진 발생 가능성이 높은 경주 지역을 대상으로 지진민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 지형적 특성을 고려한 지반조사와 현장 및 실내 시험을 통하여 대상 지역 지반의 지층 구성과 각 지층의 동적 특성을 분석 평가하고, 이를 토대로 한 지반 응답 해석을 수행하였다. 9개의 시험공을 시추하여 2개소의 크로스홀 시험과 7개소의 다운홀 시험을 실시하였고, 시추부지 포함 13개소에서 SASW 시험도 수행하였다. X선 회절 및 풍화도 분석과 공진주 시험 등의 실내시험도 병행하였다. 이러한 시험 결과를 바탕으로 El Centro 지진에 의한 지표면 최대 가속도를 등가 선형 부지응답해석을 통해 평가한 결과 붕괴방지 수준에서 0.158g~0.286g, 기능수행 수준에서 0.067g~0.116g의 분포를 보였고 퇴적층에 의하여 형성된 경주 시가지 분지 지형에서 증폭정도가 심하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 해석 결과로 볼 때, 현행 건교부 기준 설계응답스펙트럼은 경우에 따라 지반 운동을 과소평가하고 지반 고유의 공진 현상을 고려하지 못하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 개선된 지반 분류방법을 소개하였고 부지고유의 지반응답평가의 중요성에 대해 제시하였다.

Liquefaction characteristics of the reclaimed marine sand deposits is studied by means of the dynamic response analysis and the cyclic triaxial compression test. 1) From the result of the dynamic response analysis. it was found that the amplification of ground surface maximum acceleration varied with input earthquake motions and soil data, and earthquake coefficients were proposed to be applicable in evaluating liquefaction potential by simplified prediction methods. 2) For upper and soft sand deposits with small N-value, liquefaction strengths estimated by Seed and Idriss's simplified method were lower than those by the cyclic triaxial test while those by Iwasaki & Tatsuoka's or Vs-method were not lower. 3) Simplified methods were inclined to overestimate liquefaction potential in comparison with the dynamic response analysis and the cyclic triaxial compression test Allowable depths of liquefaction(safety factor 1) were estimated to be 7-14m for 0.1 -0.2g of input maximum acceleration.

Fault rupture directivity of the Odaesan earthquake, which was inferred to be the main cause of the high PGAvalue (> 0.1 g) unusually observed at the near-source region, was analyzed by using the data from the nearby (R < 100 km) dense seismic stations. The Boatwright's method (2007) was adopted for this purpose in which the azimuth and takeoff angle of the unilateral rupture directivity function could be estimated based on the relative peak ground-motions of seismic stations resulting from the nature of the rupture directivity. In this study, the approximate values of the relative peak ground-motions was derived from the difference between the log residuals of the point-source spectral model (Boore, 2003) for the main and secondary events based on the Random Vibration Theory. In this derivation, the spectral difference for a frequency range between the source corner frequencies of main and secondary events was considered to reflect only the effect of the fault directivity. The inversion result of the model parameters for the fault directivity function showed that the fault-plane of NWW-SEE direction dipping steeply to the North with high rupture velocity near upward in SE direction is responsible for the observed high level of ground-motion at the near-source region.
