이 논문에서는 S파 탄성파 반사법의 토목공학용 지반조사에의 적합성을 검토하기 위한 연구를 다룬다. 높이 약 20m 미만의 암반사면에 대한 S파 탄성파 반사법 탐사를 시행하였다. 탄성파 자료취득에는 표준적인 공심점 기법이 사용되었으며 24채널의 탄성파탐사기와 SH파의 진원으로 해머가 사용되었다. 수진기 전개는 양측전개가 채택되었고 진원점 및 수진점 간격은 각각 2m 이었다. 취득된 자료는 전산처리 과정을 거친 결과 신호대 잡음비가 향상되고 단면의 해상도가 향상되었으며 기반암의 속도정보가 얻어졌다. 최종 S파 반사단면은 1m 미만의 얕은 심도까지 반사파를 보여 주며 해상도는 1m 미만의 초고해상도를 보인다. 구조보정된 단면에서는 야외의 사면노두에서 확인된 층리면 및 단층에 잘 대비되는 뚜렷한 반사파 신호를 보여준다. 이와 같이 S파 탄성파 반사법을 이용하여 천부 지반 지질구조의 정밀한 반사 단면의 작성이 가능하므로 토목공학용 최적 시추공 위치의 결정에 이 방법이 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것이다.

The KiK-net by NIED is a vertical array measurement system. In the database of KiK-net, singular pulse waves were observed in the seismic record at the borehole of TTRH02 during the mainshock (the magnitude of Japan Meteorological Agency (M_J) 7.3, M_W 6.8) and aftershock (M_j 4.2) of Tottori-ken Seibu earthquake in 2000. Singular pulse waves were also detected in the seismic records at the borehole of IWTH25 during the Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake in 2008 (M_J 7.2, M_W 6.9). These pulse waves are investigated by using the wave shape analysis methods, e.g., the non-stationary Fourier spectra and the double integrated displacement profiles. Two types of vibration modes are discriminated as the occurrence mechanism of the singular pulse waves. One corresponds to the reversal points in the displacement profile with the amplitude from 10^-4 m to 10^-1 m, which is mainly related to the fault activity and the amplification pass including the mechanical amplification (collision) of the seismograph in the casing pipe. The other is the cyclic pulse waves in the interval of reversal points, which is estimated as the backlash of the seismograph itself with the amplitude from 10^-5 m to 10^-4 m.

Safe underground construction in a rock mass requires adequate ground investigation and effective determination of rock conditions. The estimation of rock mass behavior is difficult, because rock masses are innately anisotropic and heterogeneous at different scales and are affected by various environmental factors. Quantitative rock mass classification systems, such as the Q-system and rock mass rating, are widely used for characterization and engineering design. The measurement of rock classification parameters is subjective and can vary among observers, resulting in questionable accuracy. Geophysical investigation methods, such as seismic surveys, have also been used for ground characterization. Torsional shear wave propagation characteristics in cylindrical rods are equal to that in an infinite media. A probabilistic quantitative relationship between the Q-value and shear wave velocity is thus investigated considering long-wavelength wave propagation in equivalent continuum jointed rock masses. Individual Q-system parameters are correlated with stress-dependent shear wave velocities in jointed rocks using experimental and numerical methods. The relationship between the Q-value and the shear wave velocity is normalized using a defined reference condition. This relationship is further improved using probabilistic analysis to remove unrealistic data and to suggest a range of Q-values for a given wave velocity. The proposed probabilistic Q-value estimation is then compared with field measurements and cross-hole seismic test data to verify its applicability.

A one-story, wooden-frame, intermediate-bay model with Dou-Gon designed according to the Building Standards of the Song Dynasty (A.D.960-1279), was tested on a unidirectional shaking table. The main objectives of this experimental study were to investigate the seismic performance of Chinese historic wooden structure under various base input intensities. El Centro wave (N-S), Taft wave and Lanzhou wave were selected as input excitations. 27 seismic geophones were instrumented to measure the real-time displacement, velocity and acceleration respectively. Dynamic characteristics, failure mode and hysteretic energy dissipation performance of the model are analyzed. Test results indicate that the nature period and damping ratio of the model increase with the increasing magnitude of earthquake excitation. The nature period of the model is within 0.5~0.6 s, the damping ratio is 3~4%. The maximum acceleration dynamic magnification factor is less than 1 and decreases as the input seismic power increases. The frictional slippage of Dou-Gon layers (corbel brackets) between beams and plates dissipates a certain amount of seismic energy, and so does the slippage between posts and plinths. The mortise-tenon joint of the timber frame dissipates most of the seismic energy. Therefore, it plays a significant part in shock absorption and isolation.

최근 우리나라에서 지진이 발생하여 대도시의 초고층 건물의 내진연구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 초고층 건물의 내진연구 및 해석은 지반을 간접적으로 고려하고 있다. 또한 지진파 탁월주기의 영향이 거의 고려되고 있지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진파 탁월주기가 초고층 건물 동적거동에 미치는 영향이 지반을 고려하는 연속체 모델을 적용하여 분석되었다. 이를 위해 유한요소기반의 수치해석 프로그램인 MIDAS GTS NX를 사용하여 선형시간이력해석을 적용한 2D 동적해석을 수행하였다. 또한 동적거동 분석을 위해 수평변위, 층간변위비, 휨응력 및 건물 취약부를 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 전반적으로 초고층 건물은 지진파 탁월주기가 길어질수록 더 큰 동적반응이 발생하였다. 또한 지진파 탁월주기가 다른 파라미터인 지반조건, 지진파 크기보다 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, it was performed that the seismic response analysis using long period earthquake wave and short period earthquake wave on dynamic behavior of concrete gravity dam. The results showed that if the same magnitude earthquake waves acted on concrete dam, the maximum displacement and stress at dam crest of long period wave(0funato wave) were about 30 % larger than those of short period wave(Hachinohe wave). And the response acceleration of dam crest was amplified about 5 times in long period earthquake wave and about 3 times in short period earthquake wave.

Amplification based on empirical relations is widely used for seismic microzonation of urban centers. Amplifications are used to represent the site effects of a particular soil column. Many empirical correlations are available to estimate the amplification of seismic waves. These correlations are based on the ratio of shear wave velocity of foundation/rock to soil velocity or 30 m equivalent shear wave velocity ($Vs^{30}$) and are developed considering deep soil data. The aim of this work is to examine the applicability of available amplification relations in the literature for shallow engineering bedrock sites by carrying out site response studies. Shear wave velocity of thirteen sites having shallow engineering bedrock have been selected for the study. In these locations, the depth of engineering bedrock (> 760 ${\pm}$ 60 m/s) is matched with the drilled bore hole. Shear wave velocity (SWV) has been measured using Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave survey. These sites are classified according to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) classification system. Amplifications for an earthquake are arrived for these sites using empirical relations and measured SWV data. Site response analysis has been carried out in SHAKE using SWV and using synthetic and real earthquake data. Amplification from site response analysis and empirical relations are compared. Study shows that the amplification arrived using empirical relations does not match with the site response amplification. Site response amplification is much more than empirical values for same shear wave velocity.

지진원 및 구조물과 지반상호간의 동적 특성을 보다 신뢰성 있게 도출하기 위해 지반의 증폭특성은 반드시 고려되어야하는 요소이다. 지반증폭 특성을 분석할 때 여러 가지 방법이 제시되어 있으나 본 연구에서는 Nakamura(1989)에 의해 제시된 방법을 적용하였다. 본 방법은 얕은 지반의 상시미동의 표면파 특성을 이해하기 위해 제시되어 한계점이 존재하나 근래에 와서 S파 등에 적용되어 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성연구에 많이 이용되고 있다. 일반적으로 S파가 이용되고 있으나 본 연구에서는 지진파 에너지인 Coda 파에 새로이 적용하였다. 최근 국내에 설치된 지진 관측기에 관측된 5개 지진(규모 3.6-5.1)의 약 60 여개의 관측자료를 이용하여 지진관측소 각각 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성을 분석하였다. 관측소마다 저진동수, 고진동수 및 우월주파수가 서로 다른 증폭특성을 보여주었다. 본 연구 결과 관측지반진동에서 지반 고유의 증폭특성을 제거하면 지진원 변수를 보다 신뢰성 있게 도출할 수 있다.

The evaluation of the seismic hazard for a given site is to estimate the seismic ground motion at the surface. This is the result of the combination of the action of the seismic source, which generates seismic waves, the propagation of these waves between the source and the site, and site local conditions. The aim of this work is to evaluate the sensitivity of dynamic response of extended structures to spatial variable ground motions (SVGM). All factors of spatial variability of ground motion are considered, especially local site effect. In this paper, a method is presented to simulate spatially varying earthquake ground motions. The scheme for generating spatially varying ground motions is established for spatial locations on the ground surface with varying site conditions. In this proposed method, two steps are necessary. Firstly, the base rock motions are assumed to have the same intensity and are modelled with a filtered Tajimi-Kanai power spectral density function. An empirical coherency loss model is used to define spatial variable seismic ground motions at the base rock. In the second step, power spectral density function of ground motion on surface is derived by considering site amplification effect based on the one dimensional seismic wave propagation theory. Several dynamics analysis of a curved viaduct to various cases of spatially varying seismic ground motions are performed. For comparison, responses to uniform ground motion, to spatial ground motions without considering local site effect, to spatial ground motions with considering coherency loss, phase delay and local site effects are also calculated. The results showed that the generated seismic signals are strongly conditioned by the local site effect. In the same sense, the dynamic response of the viaduct is very sensitive of the variation of local geological conditions of the site. The effect of neglecting local site effect in dynamic analysis gives rise to a significant underestimation of the seismic demand of the structure.
