A seismic refraction study in estimation of depth to the bedrock demonstrates that 1) the average velocity in the medium is about 250 m/s in the surface layer (< 4 m), 2,500 m/s in the weathered formation, and greater than 3,000 m/s in the bedrock, 2) the depth to the deepest reflector assumed to be the bedrock is about 17 m; however, according to the cores collected in a borehole in study area, the bedrock (granite) occurred at depth 25 m, 3) according to the density and velocity logging, at depth 17 m, a measurable velocity and density increase are observed, and 4) the velocity of the weathered formation is relatively high and therefore, the acquisition offsets ($70{\sim}80m$) are turned out not to be long enough to record the refracted signal from the bedrock at depth 25 m as first arrivals.

Multicomponent seismic data including both P- and PS-waves have advantages in discriminating the type of pore fluid, characterizing the lithologic attributes and producing the high resolution image. However, multicomponent seismic data recorded at the vertical and horizontal component receivers contain both P- and PS-waves which have different features, simultaneously. Therefore, the wavefield separation of P- and PS-waves as a preprocessing is inevitable in order to use the multicomponent seismic data successfully. In this study, we analyzed the previous study of the wavefield separation method suggested by Jeong and Byun in 2011, where the approximated reflection angle calculated only from one refernce depth is used in rotation transform, and showed its limitation for seismic data containing various reflected events from the multi-layered structure. In order to overcome its limitation, we suggested a new effective wavefield separation method of P- and PS-waves. In new method, we calculate the reflection angles with various reference depths and apply rotation transforms to the data with those reflection angles. Then we stack all results to obtain the final separated data. To verify our new method, we applied it to the synthetic data sets from a multi-layered model, a fault model, and the Marmousi-2 model. The results showed that the proposed method separated successfully P- and PS-reflection events from the multicomponent data from mild dipping layered model as long as the dip is not too steep.

When acquiring seismic data, various types of simultaneously recorded seismic noise hinder accurate interpretation. Therefore, it is essential to attenuate this noise during the processing of seismic data and research on seismic noise attenuation. For this purpose, machine learning is extensively used. This study attempts to attenuate noise in prestack seismic data using unsupervised machine learning. Three unsupervised machine learning models, N2NUNET, PATCHUNET, and DDUL, are trained and applied to synthetic and field prestack seismic data to attenuate the noise and leave clean seismic data. The results are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed and demonstrated that all three unsupervised learning models succeeded in removing seismic noise from both synthetic and field data. Of the three, the N2NUNET model performed the worst, and the PATCHUNET and DDUL models produced almost identical results, although the DDUL model performed slightly better.

해상 반사법탐사는 해저 지반의 지층구조를 파악하는 기술로서 해저지층에 부존하는 가스나 골재 등 해저자원 탐사와 해저의 저장시설 건설, 파이프라인 설치 등 다양한 해양 토목공사를 위한 지반조사에 사용된다. 해상 반사법탐사의 기본적인 원리는 해수면 근처에서 인공적으로 음파를 발생시켜 해저면 하부의 지층으로 침투시키면 서로 다른 물성을 갖는 지층의 경계면에서 일부 음파는 반사되는데, 이 반사파를 수신하는 것이다. 탐사과정에서 얻어진 트레이스에는 반사파 이외에도 직접파, 다중반사파와 같은 잡음이 섞여있는데 자료처리를 통해 탄성파 단면도를 작성하고, 이를 해석하여 해저지반의 지질학적 구조를 파악하는 것이 해상 반사법탐사의 목적이다.

탄성파 코다 파는 두 수진기에서 기록된 탄성파 자료의 상호상관으로부터 두 신호에 대한 순간응답을 구하고 이로부터 지층정보를 구하는데 이용된다. 여기에서는 인공합성 탄성파 자료와 가스 하이드레이트 현장자료에 적용하여 상호상관 모음도와 가상음원 모음도 (virtual source)를 구하고자 하였다. 인공합성자료는 해저면 탄성파 탐사법 (ocean bottom seismic)을 모델로 이용하여 인공합성 탄성파 단면도를 제작하였으며, 탄성파 코다 파를 살펴보기 위해 인공 OBS 자료 중 첫 번째 트레이스를 가상음원으로 정하고 모든 음원 모음도와 상호상관으로 가상응원 단면도를 제작하였다. 현장자료 적용으로는 해저면 기인 고진폭 반사파인 BSR (bottom simulating reflection)을 포함하고 있는 자료를 선정하여 상호상관 단면도와 가상음원 단면도를 제작하였다. 중합단면도상에 나타난 가스 분출지역은 상호상관 단면도에서도 나타났으며, 중합단면도상 BSR부분은 vs 단면도에서 강한 반사파를 보여줌을 알 수 있었다.

탄성파 탐사는 인공지진파를 이용하여 지표면 하부의 물성을 알아내는 지구물리탐사로서 20 세기 초부터 석유탐사와 공학적 지반조사에 가장 널리 사용되었다. 굴절법 탄성파 탐사는 지층의 탄성파 속도를 알아내는 방법으로서 최근에는 석조문화재 등의 지반특성 조사에서 사용된 예가 있다. 이번 연구에서는 공주 공산성의 쌍수정 광장에 위치하는 공산성 원형연못 주변의 지반에 대하여 굴절법 탐사를 실시하였다. 쌍수정 광장은 기존의 발굴조사를 통하여 백제 추정왕궁지가 위치한 곳으로 알려졌으며, 광장 남쪽에 원형연못(상면직경 7.3 m, 바닥직경 4.78 m, 높이 3 m)도 발굴되었다. 원형연못 주변에 5개 탄성파 측선을 설치하였고, 해머 타격점과 수신기의 배열을 3가지 다른 방식을 적용하여 24 m, 31 m, 48 m 측선깊이의 굴절법 자료를 얻었다. 대체로 공산성 원형연못 주변의 지반은 3개 층으로 구성되어 있다. 각 층의 겉보기 속도는 약 261${\~}$391 m/s, 약 591${\~}$992 m/s, 약 1950${\~}$3230 m/s이며, 첫 번째와 두 번째 층의 두께는 각각 약 2${\~}$2.4 m 와 4.6${\~}$8.6 m이다. 일반적으로 최하부 층의 속도는 기반암, 상부층들의 속도는 풍화토에 대응한다. 그러나 두 번째 층의 주시곡선 형태와 속도범위는 국내 석탑 문화재 하부의 것과 유사한 것으로 보아 공산성 연못주변은 인공적인 기초지반의 가능성을 제기하며, 그렇다면 공산성 원형연못은 파내려 간 것보다는 쌓아 올렸을 것이다.

In tunnel design, geotechnical survey of over 200m tunnel depth is required because of its characteristical topography. For this reason, there are difficulties in collecting information of basic data in tunnel design because of large-scale costs in borehole tests, of limits to a geotechnical analysis by the existing refraction seismic survey and of analytical errors in steep mountainous area. Seismic tomography has many advantages as follows; 1) seismic velocity as absolute value is more reliable than electrical resistivity, 2) geotechnical analysis in deep tunnel depth is available by seismic velocity, 3) analytical errors is reduced in steep mountainous area. In this paper, it was found out a correlation of seismic velocity and Q in tunnel design in the neighborhood of the National Capital region and the reduction effect of tunnel construction cost using reliable rock quality by seismic tomography compared with by borehole data and electricity resistivity data.

Two 3-dimensional data processing techniques to predict the fractured zone ahead of a tunnel face by the tunnel seismic survey were proposed so that the geometric formation of the fractured zone could be estimated. The first 3-dimensional data processing technique was developed based on the principle of ellipsoid, The input data needed for the 3D migration can be obtained from the 2-dimensional tunnel seismic prediction (TSP) test where the TSP test should be performed in each sidewall of a tunnel. The second 3-dimensional migration technique that was developed based on the concept of wave travel plane was proposed. This technique can be applied when the TSP is operated with sources in one sidewall of a tunnel while the receivers are installed in both sidewalls. New migration technique was applied to an in-situ tunnelling site. The 3-dimensional migration was performed using measured TSP data and its results were compared with the geological investigation results that were monitored during tunnel construction. This comparison revealed that the proposed migration technique could reconstruct the discontinuity planes reasonably well.

Due to mechanical failure or geographical accessibility, the seismic data can be partially missed. In addition, it can be coarsely sampled such as crossline of the marine streamer data. This seismic data that irregular sampled and spatial aliased may cause problems during seismic data processing. Accurate and efficient interpolation method can solve this problem. Futhermore, interpolation can save the acquisition cost and time by reducing the number of shots and receivers. Among various interpolation methods, the Matching Pursuit method can be applied to any sampling type which is regular or irregular. However, in case of using sinusoidal basis function, this method has a limitation in spatial aliasing. Therefore, in this study, we have developed wavelet based Matching Pursuit method that uses wavelet instead of sinusoidal function for the improvement of dealiasing performance. In addition, we have improved interpolation speed by using inner product instead of L-2 norm.

We interpreted the seismic signal characteristics from crosswell seismic tomography in the underground cavity like abandoned mines. The first arrival time delay and amplitude attenuation showed clearly at the low velocity zone of cavity and fracture. Also ray density decreased by detour of raypath. As a result of the amplitude spectrum analysis of fresh rock and low velocity zone, there were no noticeable differences of the amplitude up to about 1000Hz frequency, but indicated that the one passed around cavity decreased about 7dB at 2000Hz, and 20dB at 3000Hz. It was possible to compare the signal characteristics between two media by extracting the signal data from the fresh rock zone and the underground cavity through the seismic crosswell tomography.
