Considering a rigorously fluid-structure interaction, a method for an earthquake response analysis of a floating offshore structure subjected to vertical ground motion from a seaquake is developed. Mass, damping, stiffness, and hydrostatic stiffness matrices of the floating offshore structure are obtained from a finite-element model. The sea water is assumed to be a compressible, nonviscous, ideal fluid. Hydrodynamic pressure, which is applied to the structure, from the sea water is assessed using its finite elements and transmitting boundary. Considering the fluid-structure interaction, added mass and force from the hydrodynamic pressure is obtained, which will be combined with the numerical model for the structure. Hydrodynamic pressure in a free field subjected to vertical ground motion and due to harmonic vibration of a floating massless rigid circular plate are calculated and compared with analytical solutions for verification. Using the developed method, the earthquake responses of a floating offshore structure subjected to a vertical ground motion from the seaquake is obtained. It is concluded that the earthquake responses of a floating offshore structure to vertical ground motion is severely influenced by the compressibility of sea water.

A subsea tunnel, being a super-sized underground structure must ensure safety at the time of earthquake, as well as at ordinary times. At the time of earthquake, in particular, of a subsea tunnel, a variety of response behaviors are induced owing to relative rigidity to the surrounding ground, or difference of displacement, so that the behavior characteristics can be hardly anticipated. The investigation aims to understand the behavior characteristics switched by earthquake of an imaginary subsea tunnel which passes through a fault zone having different physical properties from those of the surrounding ground. In order to achieve the aim, dynamic response behaviors of a subsea tunnel which passes through a fault zone were observed by means of indoor experiments. For the sake of improved earthquake resistance, a shape of subsea tunnel to which flexible segments have been applied was considered. Afterward, it is believed that a D/B can be established through 3-dimensional earthquake resistance interpretation of various grounds, on the basis of verified results from the experiments and interpretations under various conditions. The present investigation performed 1 g shaking table test in order to verify the result of 3-dimensional earthquake resistance interpretation. A model considering the similitude (1:100) of a scale-down model test was manufactured, and tests for three (3) Cases were carried out. Incident seismic wave was introduced by artificial seismic wave having both long-period and short-period earthquake properties in the horizontal direction which is rectangular to the processing direction of the tunnel, so that a fault zone was modeled. For numerical analysis, elastic modulus of the fault zone was assumed 1/5 value of the modulus of individual grounds surround the tunnel, in order to simulate a fault zone. Resultantly, reduced acceleration was confirmed with increase of physical properties of the fault zone, and the result from the shaking table test showed the same tendency as the result from 3-dimensional interpretation.

An outrigger system is used widely to increase the lateral stiffness of high-rise buildings, resulting in reduced dynamic responses to seismic or wind loads. Because the dynamic characteristics of earthquake or wind loads are quite different, a smart vibration control system associated with an outrigger system can be used effectively for both seismic and wind excitation. In this study, an adaptive smart structural control system based on an outrigger damper system was investigated for the response reduction of multi-hazards, including seismic and wind loads. A MR damper was employed to develop the smart outrigger damper system. Three cities in the U.S., L.A., Charleston, and Anchorage, were used to generate multi-hazard earthquake and wind loads. Parametric studies on the MR damper capacity were performed to investigate the optimal design of the smart outrigger damper system. A smart control algorithm was developed using a fuzzy controller optimized by a genetic algorithm. The analytical results showed that an adaptive smart structural control system based on an outrigger damper system can provide good control performance for multi-hazards of earthquake and wind loads.

2011년 동일본 대지진으로 발생된 지진해일로 인해 막대한 경제적 손실과 인명피해가 발생하였고, 2차적 사회적 피해가 지속되고 있다. 또한 국내에서도 최근 경주와 포항지역에서 지진이 발생하여 피해가 발생함에 따라 재난의 불확실성에 대한 대비의 중요성이 강조되고 있고, 과거 안전하다고 했던 재난에 대한 위험성에 대해 국민들의 관심이 증대되었다. 피해사례가 2차례 있는 지진해일의 경우도 동일본 대지진 이후로 전 세계적으로 해일에 대한 위험성이 재평가되고 있다. 지진해일은 해저에서 발생하는 지진에 의한 것으로 발생지점 및 강도 등을 예측하기가 쉽지 않으므로, 지진발생에 대한 가상 시나리오를 이용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 가상 시나리오를 활용하여 현재까지 많은 침수예상도가 제작되었으나, 다양한 시나리오 대해서 검토되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과학적 보간법을 이용하여 수치모형을 수행하지 않고 기수행된 연구 DB를 활용하여 지진해일 피해를 예측하는 기술을 개발하였다. 연구 DB는 국립재난안전연구원에서 수행된 지진해일 자료를 활용하였고, 전국단위를 기반으로 지진규모 7.0~9.0 내에 지진해일을 유발하는 지진에 대해 지진해일의 피해를 예측할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 기술을 검증하기 위해 5개의 진원지에 대하여 과거 발생 지진규모부터 극한의 지진규모를 가정한 수치모의 결과와 본 연구의 결과를 비교하였다. 본 연구는 격자 1km인 광역모형의 모의결과를 활용하였으므로 실제로 해안지역의 침수양상의 정확도가 높지 않지만 향후 고정밀 공간해상도에 대하여 모의를 수행한다면 지진해일로 발생하는 범람 및 침수를 보다 정밀하게 예측할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

동해의 일본쪽 해저 단층내에서 발생한 지진해일은 우리나라 동해안에 영향을 미쳐왔다. 또한 1983년 동해중부 지진해일과 1993년 홋카이도남서외해 지진해일은 우리나라 뿐만 아니라 러시아에도 인명피해와 재산피해를 발생시켰다. 우리나라 동해안에는 울진, 월성 및 고리 원자력발전소 부지가 있고, 앞으로도 수 개의 원전이 계획되어 있다. 따라서 지진해일의 영향 평가 및 원자력발전소의 안전성 확인에 대한 계속적인 연구가 필요하다. 기존에 수행된 동해에서의 지진해일 평가인구는 원자력발전소의 설계와 관련하여 안전성을 확인하는 정량적인 평가와 지진해일에 의한 예상 범람지역을 평가하는 것으로 크게 분류할 수 있다. 또한 최근에는 보다 세밀한 격자에 의한 비교적 자세한 평가연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 지진해일범람 수치모형을 이용하여 1993년 지진해일에 대하여 울진 원자력발전소의 안전성 평가를 수행하였으며, 지진해일 평가결과를 이용하여 원자력발전소의 안전성을 확인하였다. 또한 현재까지의 원자력발전소에 대한 지진해일 안전성 평가연구에 대한 검토를 통하여 지진해일에 대하여 원자력발전소의 안전성 확인을 위한 평가에서 향후 고려하여야 할 몇몇 사항을 제안한다.

This paper evaluated the safety and serviceability of a building structure considering the multi-hazard and proposed TMD-based adaptive smart control system to improve the structural performance. To make multi-hazard loads, an artificial earthquake and artificial wind loads were generated based on representative regions of strong seismicity and strong wind in U.S.A. The safety and serviceability of a 20-story example building structure were investigated using the generated artificial loads. A smart TMD was employed to improve the safety and serviceability of the example structure and its capacity of structural performance improvement was evaluated. The smart TMD was comprised of a MR (magnetorheological) damper. Numerical analysis showed that the example building structure could not satisfy the design limit of safety and serviceability with respect to multi-hazard. The smart TMD effectively reduced the seismic responses associated with the safety and wind-induce responses associated with serviceability.

Prognostic characteristics of hypothetical tsunamis in the East Sea are further discussed based on numerical simulations using linear long wave theory than the last paper(Choi et al). As for choice of source zones, we used 28 cases based on fault parameters of hypothetical earthquakes and 76 cases based on simple initial surface shapes of tsunamigenic earthquakes selected by the seismic gap theory. As a result, the wave heights along the whole coastline adjacent to the East See of tsunamis due to these hypothetical earthquake are presented. Analyses also lead us to conclude that the selection of geographical zones with low risk of tsunamis can be used as a tool for coastal disaster mitigation planning.

During an earthquake, there are three main components of excitation : horizontal excitation of the ground, vertical excitation of the pile due to superstructure feedback produced by vertical excitation of the ground, and the seawater excitation induced by the vertical ground shaking, that is, "the seaquake." These excitations could have effects on the soil plugs in open-ended pie piles installed at offshore sites. In this study, seaquake excitation induced by the vertical ground shaking was simulated by pulsing the water pressure at the seabed. During a seaquake, due to the induced excess porewater pressure and pressure gradients in the soil, the capacity of open-ended pipe piles installed in a simulated sea depth of greate than 220 m was reduced serevely and the soil plugging resistance was degraded by more than 80% The soil plug was failed because of eh upward seepage forces that developed in the soil plug due to excess pore water pressure produced in the bottom of the soil plug during the seaquake, The compressive capacity of ar open-ended pile in a simulated sea depth of less than 220 m was reduced only by about 10% and the soil plug resistance was degraded by less than 5%.s than 5%.

Submarine cable is the most important IT infrastructure for international communication across oceans. However, a cable fault rarely happens by ship's anchor, fishing gears, submarine earthquake, and so on, and we need to improve on repair time for the reducing expenses of cable repair ship as well as the stability of high-capacity submarine optical network. There are several kinds of cable faults such as Shunt fault, Cable cut, Open fault and Fiber break. When a fault is occurred, cable landing stations(CLS) have to analysis failure quickly and accurately to find the type and the location of a cable fault. During the repair period, CLS should swiftly perform the tests requested by cable repair ship. In order to make rapid progress on cable repair, CLS test technique is very important. So, in order to reduce the repair time, this paper is studying the CLS test techniques of locating a submarine cable fault and of checking the splicing point performed by cable repair ship.
