관측된 지반진동은 지진원, 지각감쇠 및 지반의 증폭특성 등 3가지 주요 인자로 구성되어 있고 특히 지반증폭 특성은 지진원 및 감쇠특성을 평가할 때 필요하다. 또한 지진재해도를 분석하기 위해 지반의 증폭 특성에 정보가 내진공학 뿐만 아니라 암반공학적 특성 분석에서 필수적이다. 지반의 증폭특성 분석을 위해 분석대상 관측소와 기준 관측소 지반진동의 수평/수직 비를 이용하는 방법을 적용하였다. 기존의 기준관측소의 수직성분 방법에 더하여 새로이 기준관측소의 수평성분 방법을 새로이 시도하였다. 본 연구는 예당저수지 인근에 설치한 4개의 관측소에서 관측된 6개의 가속도 지반진동을 이용하여 각 지반진동의 S파, Coda파 및 배경잡음 각각을 분석한 지반증폭 특성을 상호 비교하였다. 4개 관측소 공통적으로 S파와 Coda파를 이용한 결과는 상호 유사한 지반증폭 특성을 보였다. 다만 배경잡음은 다른 2개 지진 에너지와 비교할 때 전혀 다른 지반증폭 특성을 보였고 이는 배경잡음의 발생 원인이 관측소 마다 서로 다르기 때문으로 입증되었다. 4개 각각의 지진 관측소마다 저주파수 및 고주파수 증폭특성과 관측소 고유의 우월주파수가 서로 상이하여 관측소 고유의 증폭특성을 보여주었다. 또한 본 연구의 결과와 다른 방법의 결과와 비교하면 지반의 동적특성 및 지반분류 연구에 많은 정보를 제시할 수 있다.

Earth fissures with several kilometers will inevitably approach or cross the metro line, significantly threatening the safety of the underground structure in the earth fissure site. However, the influence of the earth fissure site's amplification effect on the metro station's dynamic response is still unclear. A representative earth fissure in Xi'an was taken as an example to establish a numerical model of a metro station in the earth fissure site. The dynamic response characteristics of the metro stations at different distances from the earth fissure under various seismic waves were calculated. The results show that the existence of the earth fissure significantly amplifies the dynamic response of the nearby underground structures. The responses of the axial force, shear force, bending moment, normal stress, horizontal displacement, inter-story drift, and relative slip of the metro station were all amplified within a specific influence range. The amplification effect increases with the seismic wave intensity. The amplification effect caused by the earth fissure has relatively weak impacts on the axial shear, shear force, bending movement, normal stress, and horizontal movement; slightly larger impacts on the inter-story drift and acceleration; and a significant impact on the relative slip. The influence ranges of the axial force and normal stress are approximately 20 m. The influence ranges of the acceleration and inter-story drift can reach 30 m. Therefore, the seismic fortification level of the underground structure in the earth fissure site needs to be improved.

In this study, the effect of local site conditions (site class and site amplifications) and structural variability are investigated on fragility functions of typical building structures. The study area is chosen as Eastern Turkey. The fragility functions are developed using site-specific uniform hazard spectrum (UHS). The site-specific UHS is obtained based on simulated ground motions. The implementation of ground motion simulation into seismic hazard assessment has the advantage of investigating detailed local site effects. The typical residential buildings in Erzincan are represented by equivalent single degree of freedom systems (ESDOFs). Predictive equations are accomplished for structural seismic demands of ESDOFs to derive fragility functions in a straightforward manner. To study the sensitivity of fragility curves to site class, two sites on soft and stiff soil are taken into account. Two alternative site amplification functions known as generic and theoretical site amplifications are examined for these two sites. The reinforced concrete frames located on soft soil display larger fragilities than those on stiff soil. Theoretical site amplification mostly leads to larger fragilities than generic site amplification more evidently for reinforced concrete buildings. Additionally, structural variability of ESDOFs is generally observed to increase the fragility especially for rigid structural models.

Extensive researches on distribution of earthquake induced damages in different regions have shown that geological and geotechnical conditions of the local soils significantly influence behavior of alluvial areas under seismic loading. In this article, the site of Babol city which is formed up of saturated fine alluvial soils is considered as a case study. In order to reduce the uncertainties associated with earthquake resistant design of structures in this area (Babol city), the required design parameters have been evaluated with consideration of site's dynamic effects. The utilized methodology combines experimental ground ambient noise analysis, expressed in terms of horizontal to vertical (H/V) spectral ratio, with numerical one-dimensional response analysis of soil columns using DEEPSOIL software. The H/V spectral analysis was performed at 60 points, experimentally, for the region in order to estimate both the fundamental period and its corresponding amplification for the ground vibration. The investigation resulted in amplification ratios that were greater than one in all areas. A good agreement between the proposed ranges of natural periods and alluvial amplification ratios obtained through the analytical model and the experimental microtremor studies verifies the analytical model to provide a good engineering reflection of the subterraneous alluviums.

This paper studies the effects of spatially varying ground motions on the responses of a bridge frame located on a canyon site. Compared to the spatial ground motions on a uniform flat site, which is the usual assumptions in the analysis of spatial ground motion variation effects on structures, the spatial ground motions at different locations on surface of a canyon site have different intensities owing to local site amplifications, besides the loss of coherency and phase difference. In the proposed approach, the spatial ground motions are modelled in two steps. Firstly, the base rock motions are assumed to have the same intensity and are modelled with a filtered Tajimi-Kanai power spectral density function and an empirical spatial ground motion coherency loss function. Then, power spectral density function of ground motion on surface of the canyon site is derived by considering the site amplification effect based on the one dimensional seismic wave propagation theory. Dynamic, quasi-static and total responses of the model structure to various cases of spatially varying ground motions are estimated. For comparison, responses to uniform ground motion, to spatial ground motions without considering local site effects, to spatial ground motions without considering coherency loss or phase shift are also calculated. Discussions on the ground motion spatial variation and local soil site amplification effects on structural responses are made. In particular, the effects of neglecting the site amplifications in the analysis as adopted in most studies of spatial ground motion effect on structural responses are highlighted.

Evaluation of earthquake impacts in settlements with a high risk of earthquake occurrence is important for the determination of site-specific dynamic soil parameters and earthquake-resistant structural planning. In this study, dynamic soil properties of Karliova (Bingol) city center, located near to the intersection point of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and the East Anatolian Fault Zone and therefore having a high earthquake risk, were investigated by one-dimensional equivalent linear site response analysis. From ground response analyses, peak ground acceleration, predominant site period, 0.2-sec and 1-sec spectral accelerations and soil amplification maps of the study area were obtained for both near-field and far-field earthquake effects. The average acceleration spectrum obtained from analysis, for a near-field earthquake scenario, was found to exceed the design spectra of the Turkish Earthquake Code and Eurocode 8. Yet, the average acceleration spectrum was found to remain below the respective design spectra of the two codes for the far-field earthquake scenario. According to both near- and far-field earthquake scenarios in the study area, the low-rise buildings with low modal vibration durations are expected to be exposed to high spectral acceleration values and high-rise buildings with high modal vibration durations will be exposed to lower spectral accelerations. While high amplification ratios are observed in the north of the study area for the near-distance earthquake scenario, high amplification ratios are observed in the south of the study area for the long-distance earthquake scenario.

장대교량과 같이 길이가 긴 다 지점 구조물에서는 각 지점에서의 지반운동은 차이가 난다. 이것은 지반운동의 공간적 변화로 알려져 있다. 지반운동의 공간적 변화는 각각 다른 위치에서의 지진파 도착시간의 차이에 의해 발생하는 파동전파 효과, 이질적인 지반매체에서의 지진파 산란에 의한 일관성손실, 부지의 지반특성에 따른 부지증폭 효과 등의 이유에 의해 발생한다. 기존연구에서는 부지증폭 효과를 고려하지 않거나, 지반을 단층으로 모델링하여 이를 고려하였으나, 본 연구에서는 다층의 지반에 의한 지반운동의 증폭 및 필터링이 구조물의 지진거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 서로 다른 지층의 수와 깊이 그리고 지반특성을 가지고 있는 부지에서 공간적으로 변화하는 지반운동을 생성하였고, 일관성손실 함수의 상관성 정도와 각 부지의 지반조건에 따른 지반운동의 시간이력의 변화특성을 평가하였다. 또한, 두 개의 단위 교량으로 이루어진 교량시스템을 대상으로 각각의 부지 조건에 맞게끔 생성된 지진파를 입력으로 하는 교량해석을 통해 각 단위교량 및 단위교량 간 지진거동 특성을 비교분석하였다. 특히, 일관성손실과 지반조건이 두 교량 간 충돌 및 낙교를 유발할 수 있는 상대변위에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 해석결과 각 부지의 지반조건의 고려는 아주 중요하며 실제 구조해석에서 무시되어서는 안 될 것으로 판단된다.

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.

Investigations has shown that the correct estimation of the effective amplification period is as important as the amplification value itself. It gets more important in 2D basins. This study presents a quantitative coefficient for consideration of the nonlinearity effect in terms of amplification value and the shift in its period which is missing or ineffectively considered in the previous studies. To attain this goal, by the application of a time domain fully nonlinear method, the deviation of the more common equivalent linear results from the basin nonlinear behavior under strong ground motions is investigated quantitatively. Also, despite the increase in the damping ratio, the possibility of the increase in the amplification due to the increase in motion strength is shown. To make the results useful in engineering practice, by introducing nonlinearity ratio, the effect of the nonlinearity is quantitatively estimated for two soft and stiff clayey basins with three different depths under a set of motions scaled to two target spectrum. Results show that at the 100 m depth soft clayey basin, while the nonlinearity ratio shows a 35% deviation at the basin edge part under DD1 motion level, its effect moves to the central part with 20% effect under DD3 motion level. By the increase in depth to 150 m, the results show a decrease in the overall effect of the nonlinear behavior for both clay types. At this depth, the nonlinearity ratio gives a 30% and 17% difference on a limited distance from outcrop at the soft clayey basin under DD1 and DD3 motion levels, respectively. At the 30 m depth basins, the nonlinearity ratio shows up to 25% difference for different cases. The presented ratio would be introduced as nonlinearity coefficients for consideration of the nonlinearity effects in the codes. The presented quantitative margins will help the designer to have a better understanding of the amplification period change because of nonlinearity over 2D basin surface.

Amplification factor spectrum, using the observed strong ground motions database in the Korean Peninsula, has been obtained and compared with Standard Response Spectrum, which was suggested by United States Nuclear Regulatory Committee. The observed und motions from the Yongwol and the Kyoungju, and the other recent Earthquakes, respectively, which ate supposed to represent domestic seismotectonic characteristics such as seismic source, attenuation of the propagation medium, and site specific effect, are used for the analysis of amplification factor spectrum. The database are slightly different from the those of the second study. Amplification factors hue been calculated by comparing the observed peak ground motions with results from responses to the observed horizontal na vertical ground motions. The comparison have shown that the amplification factors resultant from this study exceeds these of Standard Response Spectrum, The results suggest that the characteristics of seismic strong ground motion, which are supposed to represent the domestic seismotectonic characteristics, differs from those of Standard Response Spectrum, especially at higher frequencies. The results from the 2nd study are similar to those of 1st analysis.
