The magnitudes of historical earthquake records related with house collapses are estimated considering the magnitude, epicentral distance, soil condition and aging of a house. Eighteen artificial time histories for magnitudes 6-8, epicentral distances 5 km-350 km and hard and soft soil condition were generated. Nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed for a traditional three-bay-straw-roof house. The aging effect of the house was modeled as such that the lateral loading capacity of wooden frames represented by hysteretic stiffness was decreased linearly with time. The house was idealized by one degree-of-freedom lumped mass model and the nonlinear characteristics of wooden frames were modeled by the Modified Double-Target mode. For far field earthquakes, minor damages were identified regardless of magnitude, soil condition and aging of the house. For intermediate field earthquake, earthquake magnitude greater than 6.5 caused severe damages in soil sites. For near field earthquake, severe damages occurred for magnitude greater than 6.5 regardless of soil condition and aging of the house. It is estimated that the magnitude of historical earthquakes is about 6.2. An empirical equation of magnitude-intensity relationship suitable to Korea is suggested.

The seismic damage assessment due io the postulated earthquake was attempted for the buildings in the model district of Seoul City. The model district was selected to represent the typical structural and residential characteristics of Seoul City. The buildings in the model district were classified into 11 structural types. For each structural type, the capacity and fragility curves were constructed with parameters presented in HAZUS. The ground motions due to the postulated earthquakes were artificially generated and ground response analyses were done for three kinds of soil profiles classified with respect to the depth of surface soil layer. The probability of damage state of each structural type was calculated using capacity spectrum method and fragility curve. Finally, the calculated results were translated into GIS database and mapped to evaluate the seismic damage in the model district.

In an effort to further exploit the peak ground-motion acceleration (PGA) information per second available in real time by the enacted law, bracketed summations of the PGA per second ($BSPGA_k$) for 30 seconds based on the records with a rate of 100 samples were compared with the cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) and earthquake intensities based on a worldwide database of records from small-to-large earthquakes. The CAV, currently in use as an earthquake damage indicator for nuclear power plants due to its strong correlation with the earthquake intensity, has the disadvantage of requiring a massive amount of digital data with a rate of more than 100 samples per second. The comparative study shows that the $BSPGA_k$ is well correlated with the CAV over the wide range of strong ground-motion levels, which suggests that the $BSPGA_k$ is one of the new promising ground-motion parameters especially useful for rapid earthquake alert notifications through an earthquake monitoring network. Based on the domestic database of records from small-to-moderate earthquakes with felt reports, it is also observed that the $BSPGA_k$ is comparable to the CAV and better than the PGA in predicting the intensity by using the correlation relation.

자연재해 중 시설 파괴 규모나 인위적 경제적 피해정도에 있어서 지진은 직접적인 피해가 엄청난 재난이다. 특히 현대사회의 산업화로 도시는 인구가 집중되고 시설물이 대형화되면서 그 기능이 복잡다양해지고 있어 지진이 발생할 경우 도시의 사회 경제활동이 장기간 마비되는 사태가 발생하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 건축물 구조해석에 의한 내진평가체계를 수립하고 내진평가에 필요한 다양한 자료들을 GIS DB화하여 건물의 내진성능평가를 수행함으로써, 개별 건물의 지진위험등급 산정과 GIS기반으로 지진위험도를 체계적으로 평가할 수 있는 정보체계를 구축하여 지진발생시 피해규모 및 범위를 추정할 수 있는 정보체계구축의 가능성을 제시하였다.

This paper describes a method of evaluating seismic system performance of highway transportation network in California. The basic element that plays a crucial role in this study is the fragility information of highway bridges in Caltrans' (California Department of Transportation) freeway network. The bridge fragility information is expressed as a function of the ground motion intensity, such as peak ground acceleration (PGA) or peak ground velocity (PGV). Network damage was evaluated under the 1994 Northridge earthquake and scenario earthquakes. A probabilistic model was developed to determine the effect of repair of bridge damage on the improvement of the network performance as days passed after the event. As an example, the system performance degradation measured in terms of an index, “Drivers Delay”, is calculated for the Los Angeles area transportation system, and losses due to Drivers Delay with and without retrofit were estimated.

This paper focuses on the earthquake hazard delineation and physical loss estimation for lifelines and utilities. Emphasis is given to geographic information systems(GIS) and their application to pipeline networks in evaluating the spatial characteristics of earthquake effects. The paper examines the GIS databases for water supply performance obtained for the 1994 northridge. Relationships among buried lifeline damage and various seismic parameters are examined, and the parameters that are statistically most significant are identified. Using GIS data from the Northridge earthquake, the relationships among pipeline repair rate, type of pipe, diameter, and various seismic parameters are assessed.

HAZUS-MH is a GIS-based computer program that estimates potential losses from multi-hazard phenomena: earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. With respect to seismic disaster, characteristics of a hypothetical or actual earthquake are entered into HAZUS. Then HAZUS estimates the intensity of ground shaking and calculates the correspondent losses. In this study, HAZUS was used as a part of the preparations of the future seismic events at a coastal plant facility area. To reliably characterize the target facility area, many geotechnical characteristics data were synthesized from the existing site investigation reports. And the buildings and facilities were sorted by analyzing their material and structural characteristics. In particular, the study area was divided into 17 blocks taking into account the situation of both land development and facility distribution. The ground conditions of blocks were categorized according to the site classification scheme for earthquake-resistant design. Moreover, seismic fragility curves of a main facilities were derived based on the numerical modeling and were incorporated into the database in HAZUS. The results estimated in the study area using HAZUS showed various seismic damage and loss potentials depending on site conditions and structural categories. This case study verified the usefulness of the HAZUS for estimating earthquake losses in coastal facility areas.

전세계적의 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화 영향으로 기온상승, 강우증가, 해수면 상승 등에 자연재난의 발생이 증가하고 있다. 그 중 가뭄의 경우 전조증상, 발생원인, 발생기간 뿐만 아니라 대상범위나 피해범위도 불명확하다. 가뭄은 근본적으로 강우량의 부족으로 시작되며 농업, 생활, 공업 등의 전반적인 피해를 발생시킨다. 최근에는 기후변화의 영향으로 기온증가, 해수면상승, 극한호우, 메가가뭄 등 전세계적으로 다양한 자연재난이 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 가뭄은 태풍, 홍수, 지진 등의 자연재난 중에서도 가장 광범위한 피해를 유발시키는 재난이라고 할 수 있다. 미국의 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration에서는 20세기의 관측된 가장 심각한 자연재난 중 하나로 가뭄이 선정되었으며 최근 기후변화에 따른 기온 및 강수의 증가는 가뭄피해의 직간접적인 영향으로 피해가 급증할 것이라고 하였다. 본 연구에서는 농업·생활·공업 가뭄에 대하여 피해액과 복구액에 대한 정량적 피해특성을 산정할 수 있는 추정식을 제안하고자 한다. 농업·생활·공업 가뭄에 대한 피해액은 다양한 인자들을 고려하며 매년 변화하는 물가를 반영하여 피해액의 추정식을 제안하였다. 또한, 복구액은 가뭄피해발생으로 발생될 수 있는 농업·생활·공업의 특성에 맞는 복구인자를 구성하였으며 피해에 대한 복구뿐만 아니라 인적, 물적 자원에 대한 인자도 포함하였다. 본 연구에서 산정된 농업·생활·공업 가뭄의 피해액 추정식의 경우 정량적 검증을 위해 1965년부터 2018년까지 국내에서 발생된 가뭄피해와를 대상으로 비교 분석하였다.
