Purpose: In Korea, the frequency and frequency of earthquakes are increasing every year. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the characteristics and examples of earthquakes in Korea and Japan, and to propose improvements to the earthquake prevention policy in Korea. Method: In this study, we investigate and evaluate Japan's response in two cases: the Kobe earthquake and the East Japan earthquake. After surveying and evaluating the nation's countermeasures in the two events, Gyeongju and Pohang, they were compared. Result: When comparing recovery systems in Korea and Japan, there were significant differences in plans for restoration of road transport networks, regional disaster prevention plans, and the introduction of Conclusion: considering the physical distance between Korea's earthquake-prone areas and the capital, the government should quickly come up with countermeasures to ensure that immediate earthquake response in the region is enhanced through the detailed establishment of the Functional Continuity Plan (COOP), and that administrative functions will function normally in the event of a disaster through the introduction of the administrative BCP concept.

Conventional Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) detects the propagated P-wave from epicenter which should be achieved within 5 seconds to provide seconds to minutes of warning, allowing people to prepare for protective actions. EEWS in Korea is currently capable of providing a warning within 50 seconds after the primary P-wave detection, however, it is well-known that earthquake warning systems operating around Korean National Parks (KNP) have limited capability to fully monitor earthquake events. This study, therefore, presents a strategy to quantify the potential vulnerability to earthquake hazards by superimposing the distribution of Korea Integrated Seismic System (KISS) and the discretized map of KNP. Total 22 national parks are evaluated, and the results suggest that the improvement of the on-site systems should be necessitated for Gyoengju, Gyeryongsan, Songnisan, Gayasan, and Deogyusan national parks, whereas enhancement of regional systems is required for Bukhansan national park.

For more districted seismic design and attemped multi-bridge continuity, the existing seismic design is difficulted to treat seismic activity. So, many company applied multi-fixed point and damper or isolator, which is effective for decreasing seismic energy, on period shift, decentralization and damping. But, there is hard to design special bridge with adjusted seismic system because of absence seismic device and insufficient design experience. Therefore, the study on behavior characteristics of designed bridge with various seismic device is performed to utilize the result of this for selection of adequate seismic device.

Scale model tests were performed to investigate the seismic behavior and capacity of reinforced concrete piers that were not detailed for seismic load. The prototype pier is of solid circular section. Additional lateral reinforcing bars were not provided that might be required for the confinement. Two kinds of reinforcement details are considered for the vertical longitudinal reinforcing bars: lap spliced and continuous. In the case of lap spliced model all the longitudinal bars were lap spliced at the same height in the bottom plastic hinge zone. Three specimens were constructed and subjected to quasi-static cyclic lateral loading while the vertical load held constant. Non-ductile failure modes were observed in the test of lap spliced models but limited ductile behavior was observed in the test of a continuous longitudinal reinforcement model.

Fault plane solutions of the Iksan earthquake ($M_L=3.85$) and two aftershocks were obtained using the FOCMEC (FOCal MEChanism determination) program. The main event showed the characteristic of strike slip faulting with reverse component. It has the fault planes with NE-SW or NW-SE direction. This is similar to the fault characteristics of earthquake pattern in the inland area of the Korean Peninsula. In order to detect micro-earthquake events, continuous seismic waveform data of the thirteen seismic stations within a radius of 100km from epicenter were analyzed by PQLII program (PASSCAL, 2017) for the period from December 15, 2015 to January 22, 2016. The epicenters of nineteen micro-events were newly determined by Hypoinverse-2000 program. They are not concentrated along some lineaments or fault lines. The intensity of the Iksan earthquake was obtained by estimating the telephone inquiries, the degree of ground shaking or damage all around the southern peninsula. The instrumental intensity was also obtained using PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) records. As a result, the maximum MM intensity was estimated to be V near the epicenter.

Orientation corrections for the total of 268 accelerograph stations of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) were estimated using ambient noise cross-correlation. As this method uses ambient noise data instead of teleseismic waveforms from earthquakes under certain conditions, reliable orientation corrections can be obtained using only two-month long continuous seismic data from dense seismic networks in the Korean peninsula.Three-component continuous data recorded at the 268 accelerograph stations from January to February 2020 were used to estimate orientation corrections. The results are comparable to the previous results obtained from teleseismic waveforms; the overall standard deviations of the orientation corrections are less than 5°. Therefore, orientation corrections for the accelerograph station network can be tracked periodically by the ambient-noise method and the result can be used in various studies using the horizontal-component of acceleration data.

Nonlinear analyses have been carried out for both bridge piers and a bridge structure being repaired using a repair element in order to assess the post-repair seismic response of such structures. For this purpose, a simplified CFRP stress-strain model has been proposed. The analytical predictions incorporating the current developments correlate reasonably well with experimental results in terms of strength and stiffness. In addition, nonlinear dynamaic analyses have also been conducted for a bridge structure in terms of the created multiple earthquake sets to evaluate the effect of pier repair on the response of a whole bridge structure. In these analyses, potential plastic hinge zones of piers are virtually repaired by CFRP and steel jacketing. Comparative results prove the virtual necessity of performing nonlinear post-repair analyses under multiple earthquakes, particularly when the post-repair response features are required. In all, the present approaches are expected to provide salient information regarding a healthy seismic repair intervention of a damaged strcuture.

In order to evaluate the seismic performance of damaged reinforced concrete members, particularly bridge piers, an inelastic time-dependent element is proposed. The proposed element enables increased characteristics due to structural intervention(i.e., repair or retrofitting) to be accurately reflected to the degraded strength and stiffness of the members. The inelastic time-dependent element having both birth and death time can freely be activated within the user-defined time intervals during static and dynamic time-history analysis. Comparative studies are carried out for reinforced concrete bridge piers that are repaired and retrofitted. Analytical predictions using the developed element show reasonable correlation with experimental results. Also conducted is a nonlinear time-history analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge under multiple earthquakes. The comparative analytical results prove the validation of current development. In all, it is concluded that the present element is capable of providing salient features for the healthy evaluation of seismic performance and hence seismic stability assessment of RC bridge piers being repaired and retrofitted.

Recently, as the magnitude and frequency of earthquakes increases, research is needed to increase the ductility of the columns in order to prevent the collapse of structures. In this study, to evaluate the performance of columns reinforced with continuous transverse reinforcing bars, the FE model for the dynamic analysis of structures reinforced with continuous transverse reinforcing bars for circular and rectangular columns is to be verified using the results of uniaxial compression experiments in the previous study. As a result, the experimental value of the column reinforced with continuous transverse reinforcement and the result value related to the dynamic analysis showed similar behavior, and the reliability was high. As a result of the analysis, the usability of the rectangular column reinforced with continuous lateral reinforcing bars was confirmed because the dissipated energy performance of the columns reinforced with spiral reinforcing bars was higher than that of the columns reinforced with band reinforcing bars.

최근 기후온난화로 인한 이상기후와 지진의 발생가능성으로 인해 직렬 혹은 병렬로 위치한 2개 이상의 댐(저수지)들의 연속 붕괴 가능성도 점점 커지고 있어 연속 댐 붕괴에 대한 비상대처계획도 수립에 대한 관심도 증대되고 있다. 국내에서는 댐(저수지) 붕괴로 인한 극한홍수해석이나 비상대처계획 수립시 국내에서는 DAMBRK, FLDWAV, HEC-RAS와 같은 1차원 수리동역학 모형이 주로 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만 1차원 모형은 흐름을 하나의 방향으로만 한정하여 해석하고, 각각의 적용 횡단면에서 동일 수위를 가지다는 가정으로 홍수범람해석을 수행하므로 정확성뿐만 아니라 실제 적용성에서도 한계를 가질 수밖에 없다. 댐(저수지) 붕괴로 인한 홍수범람해석에서 2차원 이상의 고차원 모형은 앞서 언급한 1차원 모형에 적용된 비현실적인 가정을 포함하지 않으므로 더욱 정교하고 신뢰성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, 홍수범람해석을 위한 상용 프로그램들은 단일 댐(저수지) 붕괴의 적용에는 큰 어려움이 없으나, 지형단면을 초기에 한번만 고려하는 문제로 인하여 연속 댐(저수지) 붕괴의 고려에는 한계를 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐(저수지)의 연속 붕괴를 해석할 수 있는 2차원 수리동역학 모형을 개발하고자 한다. 각 댐(저수지)의 붕괴 전과 후의 지형 단면을 여러 번 반영할 수 있는 모형을 개발함으로써 시간차를 두고 붕괴되는 댐(저수지)의 연속 붕괴를 해석할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발모형은 2002년 태풍 루사로 인해 실제로 붕괴된 저수지에 적용되었으며, 이 저수지들은 붕괴시 시간차이를 두고 붕괴가 이루어져 개발모형의 적용 유역으로 선택하였다. 저수지의 연속붕괴 모델링을 위해 지형자료로는 저수지 단면, 댐 제체 및 여수로 붕괴 단면, 하천 단면 그리고 홍수터 지형 반영을 위한 수치지도, 경계조건으로는 저수지로의 유입유량과 하류단 조위조건이 고려되었다. 그리고 태풍 루사 당시의 기록적인 강우를 반영하기 위해 연구유역 인근에 관측된 강우를 모형에서 하천 및 홍수터에서 고려할 수 있도록 하였다.
