미국 서부 지역을 근간으로 도출된 30m 심도까지의 평균 전단파속도(Vs30)는 부지 증폭 정도에 따른 설계 지진 지반 운동 결정을 위한 현행 지반 분류 기준이다. 부지의 Vs30을 산정하기 위해서는 현장탄성파 시험으로부터 적어도 30m 심도까지의 전단파 속도(Vs) 분포를 획득해야 한다. 그러나 많은 경우에서 현장의 불리한 여건 및 적용 시험 기법의 제한으로 인해 Vs분포 결정 심도가 30m에 이르지 못할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 총 72개소 부지들에서 다양한 탄성파 시험 수행을 통해 30m 이상 심도까지 Vs 분포를 획득하여 Vs30과 30m보다 얕은 심도까지의 평균 전단파속도(VsDs)들을 산정하고, 이로부터 Vs30과 VsDs간의 상관관계를 도출하였다. 또한, 모든 Vs 분포 자료의 평균에 근거한 형상 곡선을 작성하여 Vs 분포를 얕은 심도부터 30m까지 외삽할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 얕은 심도 Vs 분포로부터의 Vs30 산정을 위하여 VsDs와 형상 곡선을 이용하는 두 기법은 최하단 Vs를 30m 심도까지 동일하게 연장하는 단순 기법에 비해 편향 정도가 적었으며, 특히 최소 10m 이상 심도까지 확보된 Vs분포의 경우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The crustal structure of the Korean Peninsula was investigated by analyzing phase velocity dispersion data of Rayleigh waves. Earthquakes recorded by three component broad-band velocity seismographs during 1999-2004 in South Korea were used in this study. The fundamental mode Rayleigh waves were extracted from vertical components of seismograms by multiple filter technique and phase match filter method. Phase velocity dispersion curves of the fundamental mode signal pairs for 14 surface wave propagation paths on the great circle in the range 10 to 80 sec were computed by two-station method. Treating the shear velocity of each layer as an independent parameter, phase velocity data of Rayleigh wave were inverted. All the result models can be explained by a rather homogeneous crust of shear-wave velocity increasing from 2.8 to 3.25 km/sec from top to about 33 km depth without any distinctive crustal discontinuities and an uppermost mantle of shear-wave velocity between 4.55 and 4.67 km/sec. Our results turn out to agree well with recent study of Cho et al. (2006 b) based on the analysis of seismic background noises to recover short-period (0.5-20 sec) Rayleigh- and Love-wave group velocity dispersion characteristics.

Floor acceleration plays a major role in the seismic design of nonstructural components and equipment supported by structures. Large floor acceleration may cause structural damage to or even collapse of buildings. For precision instruments in high-tech factories, even small floor accelerations can cause considerable damage in this study. Six P-wave parameters, namely the peak measurement of acceleration, peak measurement of velocity, peak measurement of displacement, effective predominant period, integral of squared velocity, and cumulative absolute velocity, were estimated from the first 3 s of a vertical ground acceleration time history. Subsequently, a new predictive algorithm was developed, which utilizes the aforementioned parameters with the floor height and fundamental period of the structure as the new inputs of a support vector regression model. Representative earthquakes, which were recorded by the Structure Strong Earthquake Monitoring System of the Central Weather Bureau in Taiwan from 1992 to 2016, were used to construct the support vector regression model for predicting the peak floor acceleration (PFA) of each floor. The results indicated that the accuracy of the predicted PFA, which was defined as a PFA within a one-level difference from the measured PFA on Taiwan's seismic intensity scale, was 96.96%. The proposed system can be integrated into the existing earthquake early warning system to provide complete protection to life and the economy.

To investigate the shear-wave velocity structures of the Korean peninsula, exploded seismic signals were recorded for 120 s along a 294-km WNW-ESE line and 150 s along a 335-km NNW-SSE line in 2002 and 2004, respectively. First arrival times of shear wave were inverted to derive the velocity tomograms. Initial shear-wave 1-D models were built using the initial P-wave velocity models used by Kim et al. and $V_p/V_s$ ratios of the IASP91 model. The raypaths indicate existence of mid-crust interfaces at the depth of 2-3 km and 16 km. The deepest significant interface corresponding to the Moho discontinuity varies in depth from 32 km to 36 km. The refraction velocity along the interface varies from 4.4 km/s to 4.6 km/s. The velocity tomograms also indicate existence of a low-velocity zone at the depth of 7.8 km under the Okchon fold belt.

With increasing demand for nuclear power generation, nuclear structures are being planned and constructed worldwide. A grave safety concern is that these structures are sensitive to large-magnitude shaking, e.g., during earthquakes. Seismic response analysis, which requires P- and S-wave velocities, is a key element in nuclear structure design. Accordingly, it is important to determine the P- and S-wave velocities in the Gyeongju and Pohang regions of South Korea, which are home to nuclear power plants and have a history of seismic activity. P- and S-wave velocities can be obtained indirectly through a correlation with physical properties (e.g., N values, Young's modulus, and uniaxial compressive strength), and researchers worldwide have proposed regression equations. However, the Gyeongju and Pohang regions of Korea have not been considered in previous studies. Therefore, a database was constructed for these regions. The database includes physical properties such as N values and P- and S-wave velocities of the soil layer, as well as the uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, and P- and S-wave velocities of the bedrock layer. Using the constructed database, the geological characteristics and distribution of physical properties of the study region were analyzed. Furthermore, models for predicting P- and S-wave velocities were developed for soil and bedrock layers in the Gyeongju and Pohang regions. In particular, the model for predicting the S-wave velocity for the soil layers was compared with models from previous studies, and the results indicated its effectiveness in predicting the S-wave velocity for the soil layers in the Gyeongju and Pohang regions using the N values. The proposed models for predicting P- and S-wave velocities will contribute to predicting the damage caused by earthquakes.

In this paper, we demonstrate that Common Mid-Point (CMP) cross-correlation gathers of multi-channel and multi-shot surface waves give accurate phase-velocity curves, and enable us to reconstruct two-dimensional (2D) velocity structures with high resolution. Data acquisition for CMP cross-correlation analysis is similar to acquisition for a 2D seismic reflection survey. Data processing seems similar to Common Depth-Point (CDP) analysis of 2D seismic reflection survey data, but differs in that the cross-correlation of the original waveform is calculated before making CMP gathers. Data processing in CMP cross-correlation analysis consists of the following four steps: First, cross-correlations are calculated for every pair of traces in each shot gather. Second, correlation traces having a common mid-point are gathered, and those traces that have equal spacing are stacked in the time domain. The resultant cross-correlation gathers resemble shot gathers and are referred to as CMP cross-correlation gathers. Third, a multi-channel analysis is applied to the CMP cross-correlation gathers for calculating phase velocities of surface waves. Finally, a 2D S-wave velocity profile is reconstructed through non-linear least squares inversion. Analyses of waveform data from numerical modelling and field observations indicate that the new method could greatly improve the accuracy and resolution of subsurface S-velocity structure, compared with conventional surface-wave methods.

이 연구는 동아시아 지역의 지각과 상부맨틀의 3차원 SH파 속도구조 및 지진파 속도 방사 이방성을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. SH파 속도모델은 한국과 일본, 중국에 설치되어 있는 광대역 지진관측소에 기록된 지진자료로부터 러브파 군속도 분산 자료를 획득한 후 이를 역산하여 구하였다. 군속도 분산곡선은 총 3,369개의 파선경로에 대하여 다중필터기법을 사용하여, 접선 성분에 기록된 주기 3 ~ 150 초 범위의 러브파 군속도를 획득하였다. 획득한 군속도자료를 역산하여 깊이 100 km까지의 SH파 속도구조를 계산하였다. 10 ~ 40 km 깊이에서 동해지역은 일본지역보다 SH파 속도가 빠르게 나타난다. 고속도 이상이 나타나는 깊이로 판단할 때, 모호면의 깊이는 동해의 경우 10 ~ 20 km 사이, 한반도의 경우에는 35 km 부근에서 모호면이 존재한다고 생각된다. 50 km 깊이에서 동해지역은 강한 저속도 이상이 관측이 되고, 저속도 이상이 나타나는 깊이로 판단할 때, 50 km 부근에 암석권과 연약권의 경계가 존재한다고 생각된다. 연구지역 아래 50 ~ 100 km 깊이에서는 저속도 이상이 광범위하게 관측된다. 지진파 속도 이방성은 35 km 깊이 까지는 평균적으로 SH파의 속도가 빠른 양의 이방성을 보이며, 그보다 더 깊은 깊이에서는 평균적으로 SV파의 속도가 빠른 음의 이방성이 관측된다.

The aim of this paper is development of resistivity seismic dilatometer (RSDMT) system. The resistivity module for obtaining apparent resistivity depth plot and seismic module for obtaining shear wave velocity (Vs) depth plot are attached to the conventional flat dilatometer testing equipment. From shear wave velocity profile, the stiffness at low strains of a site can be evaluated in undisturbed condition. And the resistivity value contains some information about water content and mineral characteristics of clayey soil. Specially manufactured resistivity and seismic modules were connected between commercialized DMT blade and drilling rod. To enhance reliability and repeatability of RSDMT test, automatic testing system including notebook based data acquisition system and automatic surface source system were developed. RSDMT system can be performed rapidly and can obtaine more reliable data at the same point compared with the separated testing system. The verification studies for the developed RSDMT system are going to be performed. From these studies, the effectiveness of integrated hybrid testing system will be checked in light of proper evaluation of geotechnical design parameters of clayey soils.

지반의 횡파 속도 단면은 주로 다운흘 탄성파 탐사에 의존해 왔으나 최근에 MASW와 같은 표면파 탐사방법과 SCPT와 같은 탄성파 콘 관입시험법 등이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비고결 퇴적물에서 다운홀 탄성파 탐사, MASW, SCPT 등을 사용하여 횡파 속도 단면을 구하고 이들을 시추조사 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 퇴적물상의변화와 횡파 속도 변화는 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 세 가지 횡파 속도 단면 중 SCPT가 퇴적물상의 변화에 가장 민감하게 반응하는 것을 알 수 있었다. SCPT 결과 퇴적층 내 약 8${\sim}$l2m 깊이에 주로 점토질 모래로 구성되어 있는 저속도 층이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

최근 산악터널의 지반조사에 전기 및 전자탐사를 실시하는 사례가 증가하고 있으며 지반의 전기비저항을 이용한 터널지반의 정량적 평가수법의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 암석의 전기비저항과 탄성파속도가 각각 암석의 공극율과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것을 이용하여 지반의 전기비저항으로부터 탄성파속도를 환산하는 수법을 제안한다. 또 이 수법을 이용하여 실제터널에 있어서 지반의 전기비저항으로부터 탄성파속도를 환산하여 암반분류를 행하여 지보패턴을 설정하고 이를 실제 터널시공에 있어서 설정한 지보패턴과 비교함으로써 그 적용성을 검토한다.
