In the seismic design standard, input waves for different levels of seismic performance are proposed in the form of design response spectra. At the time of establishing these standards, measured records of significant earthquakes that occurred domestically, such as the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake and the 2017 Pohang earthquake, were not included. Additionally, for the ground response analysis, shear wave velocities representing ground amplification characteristics were derived from the results of standard penetration tests (N-values) and applied in empirical formulas. This approach may not adequately capture sufficient information about the characteristics of domestic ground properties. Therefore, in this study, seismic records from the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes were modified to adjust the bedrock standard design response spectra. Ground response analyses were conducted using shear wave velocity profiles obtained from borehole tests in the Sejong City area. The shape of the response spectrum and ground amplification coefficient obtained from the ground response analysis were then compared with those from existing studies and seismic design standard.

The seismic site coefficients are often used with the seismic hazard maps to develop the design response spectrum at the surface. The site coefficients are most commonly developed deterministically, while the seismic hazarde maps are derived probabilistically. There is, hence, an inherent incompatibility between the two approaches. However, they are used together in the seismic design codes without a clear rational basis. To resolve the fundamental imcompatibility between the site coefficients and hazard maps, this study uses a novel probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) technique that simulates the results of a standard PSHA at a rock outcrop, but integrates the site response analysis function to capture the site amplification effects within the PSHA platform. Another important advantage of the method is its ability to model the uncertainty, variability, and randomness of the soil properties. The new PSHA was used to develop fully probabilistic site coefficients for site classes of the seismic design code and another sets of site classes proposed in Korea. Comparisons highlight the pronounced discrepancy between the site coefficients of the seismic design code and the proposed coefficients, while another set of site coefficients show differences only at selected site classes.

In 2017, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety conducted research for the revision of seismic design standards and performed studies on standard design response spectra. As a result, the Common Application Guidelines for Seismic Design Standards were introduced, and these guidelines have been implemented in the national design standards of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport for practical use. However, it should be noted that the research for proposing standard design response spectra during the 2017 revision was conducted before the occurrence of the significant seismic events in South Korea, such as the 2016 Gyeongju Earthquake and the 2017 Pohang Earthquake. To account for these recent major earthquakes, this study adjusted the standard design spectra based on the records of the 2016 Gyeongju Earthquake and the 2017 Pohang Earthquake and conducted ground response analyses accordingly. The results revealed variations in peak ground acceleration (PGA) at the ground surface even within the same ground classification. It was confirmed that this variation can lead to overestimation or underestimation of seismic loads.

Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) basing on the concept of performance based seismic design have become one of the promising procedures for seismic evaluation of buildings. Although it needs much less computational cost compared to nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA), its usages are limited to simple structures by its inherent restriction to structures wherein the fundamental mode dominates the response. Several new nonlinear static procedures (Modal Pushover Analysis; MPA and Improved Modal Pushover Analysis; IMPA) which can consider higher modes effect were introduced. Nonetheless, its applicability for complex structures such as cable-stayed bridge has not studied yet. This paper focuses on applicability of nonlinear static procedures for the seismic analysis of cable-stayed bridges. Moreover, reliability indexes which can predict analysis procedure's accuracy are introduced.

The base isolation technique and its benefits in reducing the transmitted earthquake energy into a structure have gained increasing recognition during the last two decades. Unfortunately, the current available design procedures, especially for base-isolated bridges, seem inadequate and too restrictive. As a result, practical design procedure still relies upon a series of deterministic time history analyses. In this study, the evaluation of the possibility of the normal mode method to predict the nonlinear seismic responses of base isolated bridges has been performed. The applicability has been examined through the numerical approach with isolator's elastic or plastic states of the base isolated bridges. Numerical results show that the 1st. mode period and the various responses are varied with the state but are conversed. And, the result show that the normal mode method is applicable to predict the seismic responses and to design the babe isolated bridge. Various analysis method to bridges with bilinearized hysteresis isolator and various pier heights are evalulated.

In this study, coefficient of variation for the seismic load effect on the segment lining was calculated. The statistical characteristics of the soil property were analyzed for the probability characteristics of domestic soil. In order to calculate the coefficient of variation for the seismic load effect, the MCS technique was applied, and the closed-form equation was applied to calculate the seismic load effect. As a result of calculating the coefficient of variation, the coefficient of variation of the seismic load effect on the weathered soil was analyzed in the range of 0.06~0.15, and the coefficient of variation was judged to be used as basic data for designing the limit state of the shield tunnel on seismic condition.

최근 증가하고 있는 자연재해 중 지진재해가 전체 재해에서 차지하는 비중은 상대적으로 적지만, 빈도와 강도가 증가하고 있으며, 대응하기 위한 예측 체계가 거의 없다는 것이 어려운 점이다. 일본의 후쿠오카 지진 이후 내진설계 기준이 강화되고 있으나 실제 지진발생시 최대가속도의 크기와 전파속도에 대한 이론적인 연구는 있었지만 국가적 차원의 자료 구축은 거의 없었다. 2005년 이후 소방방재청에서 지진방재종합개선기획단이 구성된 이후, 각 기관에 산재된 GIS 자료를 수집하여, 지진상황에 맞는 자료로 가공하고 프로그램으로 구현하게 되었다. anyguide라는 지리정보 시스템과 Java 어플리케이션으로 구성된 프로그램을 통하여 과거의 지진자료와 측정지점에 대한 정보를 구축하였으며, 실제 지진 발생시에 지자체에서 대응할 수 있는 경보시스템을 동시에 구축하였다. 2007년 2월에 발생한 평창 주변의 지진발생시 시스템이 작동하여 실제 shake map과 hazard map이 작성되었으며, 실제 인명과 건물 파괴 비율을 검증할 수 있었다. 이처럼 지진에 신속히 대응하기 위해서는 최단 시간내에 피해의 규모와 범위를 파악하여야 하고, 이에 따라서 적절한 대응 조치를 취해야 하는 점에서 지진재해대응 시스템은 그 활용 범위가 계속 확대될 것으로 예상된다.

구조물의 지진응답해석에 사용하는 입력지진동 특성을 구성하는 요소로서, (a) 지진동의 최대 지반가속도치 (b) 지진동의 위상특성 (c) 지진동의 계속시간 (d) 지진동의 스펙트럼 특성 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 이들 지진동을 구성하는 각 요소들이 구조물의 응답 및 손상에 직접 관련되어 지진동의 강도를 나타내는 척도로써 나타나는 것은 아니다. 그리고 이들 지진동 특성을 규정하는 각 인자와 구조물의 응답특성 및 구조물의 손상도와의 관계를 규명하는 것이 입력지진동의 설정에 있어서 매우 중요하다고 생각된다. 또한 탄성 응답특성과 탄소성 응답특성과의 관계를 규명하여, 탄성 응답스펙트럼이 구조물의 손상에 미치는 효과를 정량적으로 파악할 수 있다면 강지진에 대한 구조물의 내진설계는 보다 간편하게 할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

지진해일은 대규모 인명피해는 물론 가공할만한 파괴력으로 해안시설물, 즉 원자력발전소, 항만시설물, 연안공항 등을 파괴시킬 수 있다. 따라서 해안에 국가기간시설물을 건설할 때는 반드시 급습 가능한 지진해일을 설정하여 예기치 못한 지진해일의 급습에 대하여 안전한가 여부를 검토해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 부산광역시에 건설 예정인 가덕도 신공항에 대하여 지진해일 급습 가능성을 예측한다. 기존의 수치모형을 이용하여 공항부지에 영향을 끼칠 가능성이 높은 지진해일을 설정하여 수치해석을 수행하고 안전 여부를 검토한다. 본 연구에서 고려된 지진해일은 기 발생한 역사 지진해일과 발생 가능한 지진해일, 즉 가상 지진해일 등이며, 수치모형은 우리나라에서 많이 사용되고 있는 전파모형과 범람모형인 HYCEL-NAMI와 HYCEL-RUNUP을 결합하여 사용한다.
