Abstract

Total 350 borehole profiles were selected from the database of borehole logs in Seoul, for the site-specific seismic evaluation at two 4km${\times}$4km plain areas. Equivalent-linear site response analyses for the selected 350 sites were conducted based on shear wave velocity (Vs) Profiles, which were determined from the N-Vs correlation established using borehole seismic testing results in the inland areas of Korea. Most sites were categorized as site classes C and D based on the mean Vs to 30 m in depth (Vs30) ranging from 250 to 550 m/s. The she periods of the plains in Seoul ranging between 0.1 and 0.4 sec were significantly lower than those of the western US, from which the site coefficients in Korea were derived. For plains in Seoul, the site coefficients, Fa's and Fv's specified in the Korean seismic design guide, underestimate the ground motion in short-period (0.1-0.5 sec) band and overestimate the ground motion in mid-period (0.4-2.0 sec) band, respectively, because ol the differences in the geotechnical conditions between Seoul and the western US, although the Fa's in several sites overestimate the motion due to the base Isolation effect resulted from the soft layer in soil deposit.

서울의 두 평야 지역 4km${\times}$4km에 대한 부지 고유의 지진 응답 특성 평가를 위하여 대상 지역내 총 350개의 시추 자료를 활용하였다. 국내 내륙 지역의 공내 탄성파 시험의 자료와 시주 자료를 이용하여 $N-V_s$ 상관관계를 도출하고, 이를 토대로 선정된 350 시추 위치에서의 깊이별 전단파 속도(Vs) 분포를 결정하여 등가선형 기법의 부지 응답 해석을 수행하였다. 현행 지반 분류 기준인 심도 30m까지의 평균 Vs (Vs30)는 대상 지역 내에서 250${\~}$550 m/s의 분포를 보였고, 그에 따라 대부분의 부지가 지반 분류 C와 D로 분류되었다. 서울 평야 지역의 부지 고유 주기는 국내 지반 증폭 계수의 근간인 미국 서부 지역에 비해 매우 작은 0.1${\~}$0.4초의 분포를 보였다. 비록 몇몇 부지에서 토사 층 내에 연약한 지층이 존재함에 따라 기저 고립 효과가 발생하여 현행 단주기 증폭 계수가 지반 운동을 과대평가하기도 하지만, 미국 서부 지역과의 지반 조건 차이로 인해 전반적으로 서울 평야 지역에서는 현행 국내 내진 설계 기준의 단주기(0.1${\~}$0.5초) 증폭 계수(Fa)는 지반 운동을 과소평가하고 중장주기(0.4${\~}$2.0초) 증폭 계수(Fv)는 지반 운동을 과대평가하고 있다.
