Abstract

Ground response analysis has been conducted for each borehole data in Pohang area, using 1D equivalent linear method program, to investigate the applicability of amplification factor to estimate peak ground acceleration. Earthquake motions for ground response analysis were prepared by matching response spectrums for return period of 500, 1000, and 2400 years suggested by seismic design code (MOIS, 2017). Ground survey data were acquired from Geotechnical Information DB System. It has been confirmed that response spectrum obtained from ground response analysis showed good agreement with those from seismic design code irrespective of ground classification. However, PGA (Peak Ground Accelerations) of ground response analysis did not coincide with PGA calculated using amplification factor suggested by seismic design code.

본 연구에서는 국내 내진설계기준 공통적용사항(MOIS, 2017)의 지반증폭계수를 활용하여 지표면 최대가속도를 산출하는 방법의 적절성을 검토하기 위해 포항지역 전역의 시추공을 대상으로 1차원 등가선형해석프로그램을 통해 지반응답해석을 수행하였다. 지반응답해석을 위한 지진파는 내진설계기준 공통적용사항에 따라 지진 재현주기 500년, 1000년, 2400년의 표준설계응답스펙트럼에 맞추었고, 지반데이터는 국토지반정보 포털시스템을 활용하여 확보하였다. 그 결과 내진설계기준 공통적용사항에서 제시하는 응답스펙트럼과 지반응답해석에서 얻어진 응답스펙트럼은 지반분류에 상관없이 대략적으로 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, 증폭계수를 활용하여 지표면최대가속도를 산출할 경우 지반응답해석에서 얻어진 결과와 상당한 차이를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.
