Abstract

The site effect for 23 broadband seismic stations in the southern Korean Peninsula was estimated by using the spectral ratio of coda waves. In principle, the site effect means the pure amplification below the station excluding effects of seismic source and attenuation in the wave transmission. However, the site effect determined in this study is equivalent with the relative site amplification factor to the mean amplification for all stations. A total of 500 three-component seismograms from 35 earthquakes, of which magnitude ranged from 2.5 to 5.1 occurred from January, 2001 to January, 2007 was used to obtain the site amplification factor. The site amplification factors were estimated for the frequency bands centered at 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 Hz. It was found that the factors for two horizontal components of transverse and radial records were concordant with each other in the all frequency bands. However, the factor for the vertical component was found to be systematically lower than those for two horizontal components. The factors obtained in the low frequency band below 2 Hz ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 in all seismic stations except for KMA and KIGAM stations in Bagryeongdo (BRD1 and BRD2) of which factor showed high value above 1.5. Some stations such as SEO, SNU, HKU, NPR, and GKPI showed high value above 1.5 in the high frequency band from 5 to 20 Hz. Especially, the factors of GKP1 station represented extremely high value ranging from 1.8 to 7.8. Also, the factors for stations of KWJ, SND, and ULJ showed low value below 0.5. The spatial distribution for the relative amplification factor represented a tendency of being approximately lower in north-eastern area than south-western area in the southern Korean Peninsula.

이 연구에서는 coda파 스펙트럼 비를 이용하여 한반도 남부의 광대역 지진관측소 23개소에 대한 부지효과를 추정하였다. 원리적으로 부지효과는 지진원과 전달과정중의 감쇠효과를 제외한 관측소 하부에서의 순수한 증폭효과만을 의미한다. 그러나 이 연구에서 구한 부지효과는 모든 관측소의 평균값에 대한 상대적인 부지증폭률과 같다. 2001년 1월부터 2007년 1월 사이에 발생한 규모 2.5부터 5.1까지의 지진 35개로부터 기록된 500개의 3성분 파형이 부지증폭효과를 얻기 위해 사용되었다. 부지증폭률은 중심주파수를 0.2, 0.5, 1,2, 5, 10, 15, 및 20 Hz로 하는 주파수대역에 대해서 계산하였다. 횡단성분과 방사성분의 수평 2성분에 대한 부지증폭률은 모든 주파수 대역에서 서로 일치하나, 수직성분의 증폭률은 수평성분에 비하여 일관되게 낮게 나타났다. 또한 증폭률은 저주파 보다는 고주파에서 일반적으로 증폭의 정도가 큰 경향을 보였다. 부지증폭률은 2 Hz 이하의 저주파에서 1.5 이상의 높은 값을 갖는 기상청과 한국지질자원연구원의 백령도 관측소(BRD1과 BRD2)를 제외한 나머지 관측소에서 0.5와 1.5사이의 값을 갖는다. SEO, SNU, HKU, NPR 및 GKP1 관측소들은 5${\sim}$20Hz범위의 고주파 대역에서 1.5 이상의 높은 값을 보였으며, 특히 GKP1 관측소는 1.8${\sim}$7.8 범위의 높은 증폭값이 나타났다. 또한 KWJ, SND 및 ULJ 관측소는 0.5이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 부지증폭률의 공간적 분포는 한반도 남부에서 대체로 북동부가 남서부에 비해 증폭의 정도가 낮은 경향을 보여 준다.
