Abstract

The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) calculates the probability of exceedance of a certain ground motion parameter within a finite period at a site of interest. PSHA is very robust in that it can account for the uncertainties in seismic source, wave passage effect, and seismic site effects and hence, it is the most widely used method in quantifying the future earthquake induced ground vibration. This paper evaluates the applicability of a new PSHA that is alleged to be able to reproduce the results of a conventional PSHA method, but generates a series of earthquake scenarios and corresponding ground motion time histories that are compatible with the scenarios. In the application, a 40,000 year period is simulated, during which 16,738 virtual earthquakes have occurred. The seismic hazard maps are generated from the outputs of the new PSHA. Comparisons with the maps generated by the conventional PSHA method demonstrated that the new PSHA can successfully reproduce the results of a conventional PSHA. The new PSHA may not be very meaningful in itself. However, the real advantage of the method is that it can be used to develop probabilisitic seismic site coefficients. The suite of generated ground motion time histories are used to develop probabilistic site coefficients in the companion paper.

확률론적인 지진재해분석(PSHA)은 지진원, 전파경로, 부지효과의 불확실성을 고려하여 특정 기간내에 특정 크기를 초과하는 지진동이 부지에 발생할 확률을 결정하는 방법이다. PSHA은 전세계적으로 미래 발생할 지진동을 정량화하기 위하여 가장 널리 사용되는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 PSHA와 동일한 결과를 계산하지만, 유한기간내에 발생하는 지진 시나리오와 이에 상응하는 지진파기록을 생성하는 신(新) PSHA 기법의 국내 적용성을 평가하였다. 신(新) PSHA으로 40,000년에 상응하는 가상의 지진기록을 생성하여 총 16,378개의 지진 시나리오를 생성하였으며 이를 사용하여 지진재해도를 생성한 결과, 신(新) PSHA은 상당히 정확하게 기존의 PSHA 결과를 재현할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 신(新) PSHA은 자체적으로 의미가 있다기 보다는 이의 결과를 통하여 궁극적으로 확률론적인 지진재해분석을 수행할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 생성된 지진기록은 동반논문에서 확률론적인 지진계수를 생성하는데 활용되었다.
