Abstract

In this study, appropriate probability distribution and parameter estimation method were selected to perform snowfall frequency analysis. Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and Probability Weighted Moment Method (PWMM) appeared to be the best fit for snowfall frequency analysis in Korea. Snowfall frequency analysis applying GEV and PWMM were performed for 69 stations in Korea. Peak snowfall corresponding to recurrence intervals were estimated based on frequency analysis while snow loads were calculated using the estimated peak snowfall and specific weight of snow. Design snow load map was developed using 100-year recurrence interval snow load of 69 stations through Kriging of ArcGIS. The 2009 Korean Building Code and Commentary for design snow load was assessed by comparing the design snow loads which calculated in this study. As reflected in the results, most regions are required to increase the design snow loads. Thus, design snow loads and the map were developed from based on the results. The developed design snow load map is expected to be useful in the design of building structures against heavy snow loading throughout Korea most especially in ungaged areas.

본 연구에서는 적설심 빈도분석을 수행하기 위해 우리나라에 가장 적합한 확률분포형과 모수추정방법을 선정하였다. 최적확률분포형으로는 Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), 모수추정방법으로는 확률가중모멘트법이 선정되었다. 선정된 확률분포형과 모수추정방법을 적용하여 우리나라 69개 기상관측소별 적설심 빈도분석을 수행하였다. 빈도분석을 통해 관측소별 빈도별 적설심을 산정하였고 적설심과 눈의 단위중량을 이용하여 적설하중을 산정하였다. 산정된 적설하중 중 100년 빈도 적설하중을 이용하여 ArcGIS 크리깅(Kriging) 기법을 통해 우리나라 설계적설하중 지도를 작성하였다. 또한, 본 연구를 통해 산정된 적설하중과 건축구조기준 및 해설(2009)에서 제시하고 있는 설계적설하중을 비교하여 설계적설하중 기준의 적정성을 평가하였다. 평가결과, 대부분의 지역에서 현재 지상적설하중 기준의 상향조정이 요구되었으며 본 연구를 통해 도출된 결과를 반영하여 보다 합리적인 지역별 설계적설하중을 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 지역별 설계적설하중은 폭설에 대비한 우리나라 전역의 구조물 설계에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
