Abstract

지진 시 지반 운동의 증폭과 관련되는 부지 효과는 지하 토사 조건 및 지질 구조에 따라 매우 큰 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 국내 홍성 지역을 대상으로 시추 조사와 현장 탄성파 시험을 포함한 현장 조사 및 지표 부근 지질 정보를 획득하기 위한 부지 답사를 통해 부지 효과를 확인하였다. 홍성 지역은 1978년 계기 지진이 발생한 지역으로서 기반암 상부에 최대 45 m 두께의 풍화 지층이 분포한다. GIS 기법 기반의 지반 정보 시스템을 연구 대상 지역의 공간 지층 구조를 효율적으로 확인하기 위하여 구축하였으며, 이로부터 홍성 지역이 얕고 넓은 분지 형상임을 확인하였다. 홍성 지역의 부지 지진 응답을 평가하기 위하여 대표 단면에 대한 이차원 유한 요소 해석을 수행하였다. 도출된 지진 응답 결과로부터 지반 운동이 기반암 상부 토사층을 톰해 전단파가 전파되면서 증폭되고 분지 형상에 따른 전단파의 상호 작용으로 생성된 표면파로 인해 분지 경계 부근 진동 지속 시간이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 분지 내의 선정된 토사 부지들에 대해서 추가적인 일차원 유한 요소 지진 응답 해석을 수행하였으며, 본 연구 대상 분지가 매우 얕고 넓음에 따라 분지 경계 부근을 제외하고는 분지 내 대부분의 위치에서 이차원 지진 응답과 유사한 결과를 보였다.

The site effects relating to the amplification of ground motion under earthquake loading are strongly influenced by both the subsurface soil condition and geologic structure. In this study, the site effects at the Hongseong area in Korea were examined by both the site investigation including borehole drilling and in-situ seismic tests and the site visit for acquiring geologic information of ground surface. Subsurface of Hongseong area with a major instrumental earthquake event in 1978 is composed of weathered layers of a maximum of 45 m thickness overlying bedrock. A geotechnical information system based on GIS framework was implemented to effectively find out spatial geologic structure of study area and it indicated Hongseong is a shallow and wide shaped basin. Two-dimensional finite element (FE) analyses for a representative cross-section of the Hongseong area were performed to evaluate seismic site responses. From the results of seismic responses, it was observed that the ground motions were amplified during the propagation of shear waves through the soil layer overlying the bedrock and the duration of shaking near the basin edges was prolonged due to the surface waves generated by interactions of shear waves with basin geometry. Furthermore, one-dimensional FE seismic response analyses were additionally conducted for soil sites selected in the basin, and it gives similar results to the two-dimensional seismic responses at most locations in the basin with the exception of the locations near the basin edges, because the basin in this study is very shallow and wide.
