The earthquake with magnitude about M3.2 occurred near Yeongwol in South Korea on January 19, 2006. The microearthquake records were obtained from two accelerometers which were installed on Hoengseong multi-purpose dam. Located about 77km from the epicenter, this dam has a height of 48.5m and a length of 205m. Dam type is center-cored rockfill dam. Using the microearthquake records, the fundamental frequency of the dam was calculated by the evaluation of acceleration response spectrum ratio between the foundation and the crest of dam. In this study, numerical analyses on various shear moduli of rockfill zone were carried out. From the comparison between the results of numerical analyses and that of measured record(fundamental frequency and crest acceleration response), the shear wave velocities with depth, which is closely related to shear modulus, were inversely calculated. The back-calculated shear wave velocities were compared with those by the empirical recommendation method. |
