The purpose of this study is to suggest a method of predicting seismic vulnerability and safety conditions of each building in a targeted area. The scope of this study includes 'developing a simulation model for precaution activities,' 'testing the validity of the developed model', From the facility point of view, target of this study is a local building system. According to the literature review, the number of earthquake prediction modeling and cases with GIS applied is extremely few and the results are not proficient. This study is conducted as a way to improve the previous researches. Statistic analyses are conducted using 348 domestic and international data. Finally, as a result of the series of statistical analyses, an adequate model is developed using optimization scale method. The ratio of correct expectation is estimated as 87%. In order to apply the developed model to predict the vulnerability of the several chosen local building systems, spatial analysis technique is applied. Gangnam-gu and Jongro-gu are selected as the target areas to represent the characteristics of the old and the new downtown in Seoul. As a result of the analysis, it is discovered that buildings in Gangnam-gu are relatively more dangerous comparing to those of Jongro-gu and Eunpyeong-gu.

Torsional behavior of eccentric structure under seismic loading may cause the stress and/or deformation concentration. Hence it is hard to estimate the seismic behavior of the structure with plan irregularity. This study suggests the method to setup the seismic fragility curve of the torsionally irregular structures. The suggested fragility curve may be acquired from the fragility surface defined on the D-R plan according to the estimated torsional behavior. The torsional behavior is predicted considering the inelastic region by adapting the inelastic stiffness of each wall. Finally the system displacement is converted to the spectral acceleration and the fragility curve for the seismic excitation level is presented. In addition, the fragility curve considering the excitation direction is proposed.

If scour is occurred at shallow foundation of bridge, seismic performance of the bridge will be reduced. In order to evaluate accurate seismic response of bridge according to scour depths, modeling of foundation reflecting scour effect is important. In this study, taking into account the effect of the reduction in embedment depth of the shallow foundation by scouring, the soil around the foundation is modelled as an equivalent soil spring with various stiffness. Seismic fragility analyses for 3 types of bridges subjected to 4 types of ground motions classified into Site Class A, B, C, D are evaluated according to several scour depths. From the fragility analysis results, it can be observed that the deeper the scour depth, the higher probability of exceeding damage states. Also, seismic failure probability of asymmetric bridge is higher than that of symmetric bridge.

This study represents results of fragility curve development for 3-span continuous bridge. To research the response of bridge under earthquake excitation, Monte Carlo simulation is performed to study nonlinear dynamic analysis. Because of limited number of real time histories from the Korean peninsula, a set of 150 synthetic time histories were generated. Fragility corves in this study are represented by lognormal distribution functions with two parameters and developed as a function of PGA. Five damage states were defined to express the condition of damage based on the actual experimental damage data of bridge column. As a result of this research, the value of damage probability corresponding to each damage state were determined. This approach may be used in constructing the fragility curves for all of bridge structure and, by extension, in constructing the seismic hazard map.

지진해일의 발생빈도는 태풍이나 홍수 등의 자연재해와 비교하여 발생빈도가 낮지만 발생 시 큰 피해를 입힐 수 있다. 우리나라 동해안은 일본 서해안에서 발생된 지진해일에 취약하며 특히 강원도 삼척시와 경상북도 울진군 부근은 일본 서해안에서 발생된 지진해일 에너지가 집중되는 위험지역으로 기존 연구에서 확인되었다. 동해를 따라 먼 거리를 전파해오는 지진해일 파의 전파양상은 해저수심의 영향을 받아 변화될 뿐만 아니라 진원지의 발생위치와 각 매개변수의 특성에 따라 대상지역에서의 영향도가 다양하게 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 일본 서해안에서 과거 발생한 지진원(4건) 및 향후 발생 가능한 가상지진원(71건)을 대상 시나리오로 선정하였으며, 가상지진원자료는 한반도 에너지개발 기구(11건) 및 일본토목학회(60건)에서 제시한 총 71건의 자료를 사용하였다. 동해안 해저수심 영향에 의한 지진해일 파 집중도를 확인할 수 있는 파향선추적 기법 수행을 통해 75건 중 집중도가 높은 41건의 지진원을 선정하였다. 선정된 지진원은 불확실성을 고려하기 위해 많은 연구자들에 의해 사용되고 있는 로직트리기법을 적용하여 총 1,107건으로 생성되었으며, 이에 대해 지진해일 수치해석이 수행되어졌다. 최대 지진해일고 비교 결과, 특정 발생위치에서의 지진원은 타 지진원보다 지진강도가 작음에도 불구하고 울진 원자력발전소에서 최대 지진해일고 결과는 더 크게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

This paper reports the process of seismic fragility analysis for the rahman-type continuous bridge system. The target structure was the five span highway bridge with maximum pier hight of 72m. OpenSees software was used for the nonlinear time history analysis. In this study, 50 ground motions are considered for nonlinear time history analysis. For each ground motion, PGA was scaled from 0.1g to 2.0g with intervals of 0.1g in order to consider a wide range of the seismic intensity measure. In addition, yield displacement and ultimate displacement of each pier were calculated through section analysis. Based on the result of non linear time history analysis and section analysis, damage condition of target bridge was classified according to the definition of damage condition proposed by Barbat et al. As a result, it was predicted that Extensive Damage occurred at P1 when 0.731 g earthquake occurred in the longitudinal direction. Based on the seismic fragility analysis results, it is found that the probability of occurrence of Extensive Damage in the 4,800 - year period earthquake was about 4.2%. Therefore the target bridge has enough safety for earthquake.

The ground-structure interaction of the bridge foundation has been pointed out as a major factor influencing the behavior of the bridge during earthquakes. In this study, the effect of characteristics of ground and bridge foundation on the earthquake vulnerability is investigated. From the pseudo-static analysis, it is confirmed that non-linearity becomes lesser and horizontal load becomes greater when surcharge is considered. It is also found that as the ground worsens and the size of foundation decreases, horizontal load reduces. To derive reasonable structural model for bridge foundation, fragility curve is obtained considering four conditions (fixed condition, equivalent linear condition, non-linear without surchage condition, non-linear with surcharge condition) and compared. Seismic analysis is performed on single pier with Opensees. From the earthquake vulnerability analysis, it is found that shallow foundation can be assumed as fixed condition. In conservative approach, stiffness of spring can be obtained based on Korean highway bridge design code for pile foundation which can consider the ground condition.

최근 경주, 울산, 포항 등 경상도 지역에서 잇달아 발생한 대규모 지진으로 인해 사회기반시설물의 내진 안전성이 이슈가 되고 있다. 지진 안전 국가라고 여겨지던 우리나라는 상대적으로 지진에 대한 대비가 매우 부족한 실정이며, 자칫 대규모 피해로 이어질 우려가 있다. 특히 상수관망의 경우, 지중에 매설되어 있는 특성상 지진에 취약하고, 그 피해를 발견하기 어려워 장기적인 피해가 불가피하다. 상수관로의 지진피해는 누수와 파손으로 구분할 수 있으며, 파손관의 경우 용수공급능력을 크게 저하시키기 때문에 신속한 복구가 요구된다. 파손관의 복구는 부근에 위치한 차단밸브를 닫아 피해관로의 통수를 차단한 후에 복구 작업을 진행하는 것이 일반적이다. 이때, 차단밸브의 위치에 따라 단수구역이 광범위하게 발생할 수 있어 시스템 전반의 용수공급능력 저하로 이어질 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진 발생 후 피해관로의 효율적인 복구전략 마련을 위한 상수관망 지진피해 복구 시뮬레이션 모형을 개발하였다. 개발 모형은 피해복구에 따른 상수관망 시스템의 용수공급능력을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있으며, 지진 발생과 같은 비정상 상황의 시스템 용수공급능력을 수리학적으로 정확하게 해석하기 위해 압력기반의 해석(Pressure-driven analysis, PDA)을 적용하였다. 또한, 피해관로의 복구 시, 차단밸브에 의해 발생되는 단수구역을 탐색한 후, 수리해석 모의에 적용함으로써 현실적인 용수공급 상황을 모의할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 개발모형을 활용하여 차단밸브의 위치 및 개수가 단수구역의 범위 및 지진복구에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 비교 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 효율적인 지진피해 복구 전략을 제시하였다.

The number of damaged lifeline structures have been increasing with urban acceleration under earthquakes. To predict the damage, damage mitigation technology of lifeline structures should be analyzed using damage prediction technology. Therefore, in this paper, the degree of the fragility of structures under an earthquake was evaluated stochastically through an evaluation of the seismic fragility. The aim was to develop damage prediction technology of sewage pipes among the lifeline facilities. The site response was performed using the data from 158 boreholes in Seoul and 7 real earthquake waves to determine the responses in real urban areas. The seismic fragility was deduced through a total of 29822 time history analysis. In addition, sewer pipes were evaluated and the persisting period was passed by applying the research results of strength reduction which is due to sulphate erosion. As a result, the difference in failure probability between 300 and 800 with the smaller diameter of the representative pipes was approximately double and the size of the pipes has a significant effect on the seismic fragility function. Moreover, the failure probability of a seismic load increases by up to 10 fold as the strength reduction rate increases. The results of this study can be used as a means of predicting the damage and countermeasures of sewer pipes and might be reflected in the seismic design of underground facilities.
