In the current Korean code, the site classification and the corresponding site coefficients
were determined similar to the UBC 1997, which were revised based on the results from the …

In this article, site response analyses for 124 sites collected in Korea were performed to
evaluate earthquake ground motions in regions of shallow bedrock in Korea. Based on the …

Recent studies have shown that the site coefficients obtained from site response analyses of
Korean soil sites are significantly different from those specified in the current Korean seismic …

In the companion paper (I-Problem Statements of the Current Seismic Design Code), the
current Korean seismic design code is required to be modified considering site …

In the companion paper (I-Database and Site Response Analyses), site-specific response
analyses were performed at more than 300 domestic sites. In this study, a new site …

The site categorization and corresponding site amplification factors in the current Korean
seismic design guideline are based on provisions for the western United States (US) …

Site characterization and site-specific ground response analyses were conducted at two
representative inland areas in Korea. In situ tests included 25 boring investigations, 7 …

Korea is part of a region of low to moderate seismicity located inside the Eurasian plate with
bedrock located at depths less than 30 m. However, the spectral acceleration obtained from …

Site response analyses were performed based on equivalent linear technique using the
local geologic and dynamic site characteristics, which include soil profiles, shear wave …

For the site characterization at two inland areas, Gyeongju and Hongsung, which represent
geomorphic and geologic characteristics of inland region in Korea, in-situ seismic tests …
