In general, forecast tsunami heights announced for tsunami warning are computed by using a linear tsunami model with coarse grids which leads the underestimation of inundation area. Thus, an accurate tsunami inundation map corresponding the forecast tsunami height is needed for an emergency evacuation plan. A practical way to construct a relatively accurate tsunami inundation map was proposed in this study for the quantitative forecast of inundation area. This procedure can be introduced as in the followings: The fault dislocations of potential tsunami sources generating a specific tsunami height near an interested area are found by using a linear tsunami model. Based on these fault dislocations, maximum inundation envelops of the interested area are computed and illustrated by using nonlinear inundation numerical model. In this study, the tsunami inundation map for Imwon area was constructed according to 11 potential tsunami sources, and the validity of this process was examined.

In recent decades, unpredictable earthquakes around the world have caused massive damage. The incidence of earthquakes in Korea that are larger than M5.0 has increased the social demand for earthquake policies. As the seismic performance of buildings has been proven to be the most effective damage mitigation responsibility from past earthquake damage cases, the US and Japan are implementing a seismic retrofitting support system. In Korea, this is being implemented through tax benefits, but it is being neglected by the owners of private buildings. As a solution to this problem, this paper reviews, compares, and analyzes the domestic and overseas seismic retrofitting support systems, and suggests ways to improve the policy and support system for revitalizing the seismic retrofitting of private buildings based on the results.

As computer technology has been rapidly advanced, geographic information system (GIS) is recently used in many disciplines. In this study, for a model area in Seoul, seismic hazard potential relating to site effects, which are influenced by the subsurface geotechnical conditions, was estimated using the GIS tool. The distribution of pre-existing borehole drilling data in Seoul metropolitan area was examined for the regional estimation of site-specific seismic responses at the model area. Spatial geo-layers across the entire model area were predicted by constructing a GIS-based geotechnical information system (GTIS). A microzonation of site period $(T_G)$ for estimating site-specific seismic responses at the model area was performed within the GTIS. The spatial microzoning map of $T_G$ indicated seismic vulnerability of two- to four-storied buildings in the model area. Furthermore, a site classification map for determining the design ground motion was established based on the $T_G$ within the GTIS. This informed that most of location in the model area was categorized into current site classes C and D. This seismic microzonation framework for the model area could be applicable particularly in the entire Seoul metropolitan area based on the pre-existing borehole data.

In this study, the seismic risk has been evaluated by setting the bedrock acceleration to 0.154g which, was taking into consideration that the earthquake return period for the buried electric power tunnels in the metropolitan area to be 1,000 years. In this case, the risk assessment during the earthquake was carried out in three stages. In the first stage, the site classification was performed based on the site investigation data of the target area. Then, the LPI(Liquefaction Potential Index) was applied using the site amplification factor. After, candidates were selected using a hazard map. In the second stage, risk assessment analysis of seismic response are evaluated thoroughly after the recalculation of the LPI based on the site characteristics from the boring logs around the electric power area that are highly probable to be liquefied in the first stage. The third Stage visited the electric power tunnels that are highly probable of liquefaction in the second stage to compensate for the limitations based on the borehole data. At this time, the risk of liquefaction was finally evaluated based off of the reinforcement method used at the time of construction, the application of seismic design, and the condition of the site.

중약진 지역으로 분류되고 있는 대만에서 1999년에 발생된 예상치 못한 막대한 경제적 피해와 사상자를 기록하였다. 대만과 마찬가가지로 중약진지역으로 분류되는 우리나라에서도 지진발생시 많은 문제발생이 예상됨에 따라 기존건물의 내진성능평가의 필요성의 인식하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 미국과 일본에서 이미 적용되고 있는 기존 건축물의 내진성능 평가 기법을 분석하고 이를 3층 규모의 모멘트 골조 건물에 적용하여 평가해 보았다. 평가는 일본건축방재협회에는 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내진성능평가 규준을 적용하였다.

In this study, algorithms for analyzing the torsion of buildings under earthquake excitation are developed. The algorithm and formulations to account for the torsional angle are verified by analyzing the seismic acceleration time history data. The method was applied to the reference buildings to examine their operation and usability. The reference application demonstrated that the noise-canceling scheme successfully overcame various obstacles in the field measurements. The developed method is expected to be used as a tool to support a loss assessment system for determining the direction and priority of disaster response in the event of an earthquake.

최근 발생한 경주 및 포항 지진으로 인해 다수의 매립배관 손상이 보고되었다. 벨로우즈 신축관이음은 기하학적 특성으로 인해 진동 및 침하 등으로 인한 손상을 저감시킬 수 있다. 벨로우즈 신축관이음관의 내진 성능평가에 대한 실험적 혹은 해석적 연구는 미미한 상황이다. 본 연구는 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 내진성능을 분석하기 위해 반복하중 기반의 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 실험결과를 기반으로 3차원 유한요소 모델을 구축하였으며 실험과 해석에서 얻어진 하중-변위 관계를 비교하였다. 해석 모델에서 전체적인 강성이 큰 것으로 나타났으며 최대 변위가 작용할 때 에너지 소산량은 약 10% 가량 큰 것으로 나타났다.

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.

방재성능목표란 홍수, 호우 등으로부터 재해를 예방하기 위한 방재정책 등에 적용하기 위하여 처리 가능한 시간당 강우량 및 연속강우량의 목표로, 각 지자체별로 지역특성 및 경제여건 등을 고려하여 지역별 방재성능목표를 설정한다. 지역별 방재성능목표 기준을 설정하기 위해 전국을 168개 티센망으로 분류하고 69개 지점 확률강우량을 활용하여 지방자치단체별 확률강우량을 산정하고, 지방자치단체별 티센면적 비율을 감안하여 각 지자체별 방재성능목표 설정 기준을 마련한다. 이때 확률강우량 산정에 기상청에서 제공하는 종관기상관측(ASOS) 자료를 이용하는데, 종관기상관측(ASOS, Automated Synoptic Observing System)이란 종관규모의 날씨를 파악하기 위하여 정해진 시각에 모든 관측소에서 같은 시각에 실시하는 지상관측으로, 종관규모는 일기도에 표현되어 있는 고기압이나 저기압의 공간적 크기 및 수명을 말하며, 해당 지역의 현재 기상 실시간 제공 및 기상예보에 활용한다. 그러나 ASOS 자료로 산정한 확률강우량을 토대로 설정한 지역별 방재성능목표는 지배관측소개소 및 면적 비율에 따라 강우량이 실제 해당 지역에 내린 강우량에 비해 작거나 크게 산정되어 실제 강우량을 반영하지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 이에 지진·태풍·홍수·가뭄 등 기상현상에 따른 자연재해를 막기 위해 실시하는 지상관측인 방재성능관측(AWS, Automatic Weather System)을 1997년부터 약 510여개 지점에 설치하여 기상관측자료를 구축하고 있으나, 관측자료가 30년 미만이므로 자료의 일관성 및 신뢰도 확보 등의 문제로 이용하고 있지 않다. 실제로 ASOS 관측소와 AWS 관측소의 시간 강우량 최댓값 차이가 큼에도 불구하고 행안부는 지역별 방재성능목표 수립을 위한 강우량 산정에서 AWS 관측소의 기록은 반영하지 않고 ASOS 관측소 기록만 적용하여 실제 해당 지역의 강우량을 반영하는 방재 대책을 수립하지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 소규모 유역 및 재해영향평가 등의 경우 인근 지역에 AWS 관측소가 있을 경우, 해당지역의 기상 특성을 대변하는 자료로 보유관측년수가 30년 이상인 AWS 자료의 적극적인 활용이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
