연구목적: 본 연구는 국내에서 발생한 지진관측기록의 P파 성분으로부터 PGV를 예측하기 위한 예측식을 도출하고 지진현장경보(Onsite EEW)신뢰성을 검증함을 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 국내에서 발생한 627개 지진 이벤트에 대한 관측기록으로부터 P파 외의 잡음을 제거하여 기반암에서의 PGV와의 예측식을 도출하고, 이를 이용한 지진현장경보 시뮬레이션을 통해 PGV의 예측치와 관측치 비교로부터 신뢰성을 검증한다. 연구결과: P파 잡음을 제거한 지진 관측기록으로부터 Filter Picker를 사용하여 P파를 추출하고, PGV와의 회귀분석을 통해 지진현장경보를 위한 예측식을 도출했다. 현장경보 시뮬레이션 결과 경보대상 구간인 MMI IV 이상 구간에서 MMI±1 오차범위 내 80%의 성공률을 얻었다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 국내 지진기록을 이용한 지진현장경보의 설계 가능성과 성능을 확인하였다. 유효성을 높이기 위해, 해외 지진다발지역의 중규모지진의 관측기록을 분석기록으로 추가하고, 오탐지 제어 및 지표에서의 지진파 증폭에 효과 구현이 필요하다.

This paper investigates the response of nonstructural components in the presence of nonlinear behavior of the primary structure considering the near-fault pulse-like ground motions. A database of 81 near-fault pulse-like ground motions is used to examine the effect of these ground motions on the response of nonstructural components. For comparison, a database of 573 non-pulse-like ground motions selected from the PEER database is also employed. The effects of peak ground velocity (PGV), maximum incremental velocity (MIV), primary structural degrading behavior and damping of nonstructural components are evaluated and discussed statistically. Results are presented in terms of amplification factor which quantifies the effect of inelastic deformations of the primary structure on subsystem responses. The results indicate that the near-fault pulse-like ground motions can significantly increase the amplification factors of nonstructural components with primary structural period and the magnitude of increase can reach 17%. The effect of PGV and MIV on amplification factors tends to increase with the increase of primary structural ductility. The near-fault pulse-like ground motions are more dangerous to components supported by structures with strength and stiffness degrading behavior than ordinary ground motions. A new simplified formulation is proposed for the application of amplification factors for design of nonstructural components for near-fault pulse-like ground motions.

This paper presents the probabilistic seismic microzonation of densely populated Kolkata city, situated on the world's largest delta island with very soft alluvial soil deposit. At first probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of Kolkata city was carried out at bedrock level and then ground motion amplification due to sedimentary deposit was computed using one dimensional (1D) wave propagation analysis SHAKE2000. Different maps like fundamental frequency, amplification at fundamental frequency, peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), peak ground displacement (PGD), maximum response spectral acceleration at different time period bands are developed for variety of end users, structural and geotechnical engineers, land use planners, emergency managers and awareness of general public. The probabilistically predicted PGA at bedrock level is 0.12 g for 50% exceedance in 50 years and maximum PGA at surface level it varies from 0.095 g to 0.18 g for same probability of exceedance. The scenario of simulated ground motion revealed that Kolkata city is very much prone to damage during earthquake.

A Spectral Element Method for 3D seismic wave propagation simulation is derived based on the three-dimensional fluctuating elastic dynamic equation. Considering the 3D real terrain and the attenuation characteristics of the medium, the topographic effect of Wenchuan earthquake is simulated by using the Spectral Element Method (SEM) algorithm and the ASTER DEM model. Results show that the high PGA (peak ground acceleration) region was distributed along the peak and the slope side away from the epicenter in the epicenter area. The overall distribution direction of high PGA and high PGV (peak ground velocity) region is parallel to the direction of the seismogenic fault. In the epicenter of the earthquake, the ground motion is to some extent amplified under the influence of the terrain. The amplification effect of the terrain on PGA is complicated. It does not exactly lead to amplification of PGA at the ridge and the summit or attenuation of PGA in the valley.

In this paper, the effects of mass eccentricity of superstructure as well as stiffness eccentricity of isolators on the amplification of seismic responses of base-isolated structures are investigated by using mathematical near-fault pulse models. Superstructures with 3, 6 and 9 stories and aspect ratios equal to 1, 2 and 3 are mounted on a reasonable variety of Triple Concave Friction Pendulum (TCFP) bearings considering different period and damping ratio. Three-dimensional linear superstructure mounted on nonlinear isolators are subjected to simplified pulses including fling step and forward directivity while various pulse period ($T_p$) and Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) amounts as two crucial parameters of these pulses are scrutinized. Maximum isolator displacement and base shear as well as peak superstructure acceleration and drift are selected as the main engineering demand parameters. The results indicate that the torsional intensification of different demand parameters caused by superstructure mass eccentricity is more significant than isolator stiffness eccentricity. The torsion due to mass eccentricity has intensified the base shear of asymmetric 6-story model 2.55 times comparing to symmetric one. In similar circumstances, the isolator displacement and roof acceleration are increased 49 and 116 percent respectively in the presence of mass eccentricity. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that torsional effects of mass eccentricity can force the drift to reach the allowable limit of ASCE 7 standard in the presence of forward directivity pulses.

지진에 대한 사면 재해도 작성 시 일반적으로 Newmark 활동블록 이론에 기초한 변위 추정식이 사용된다. 하지만 기존에 제안된 추정식들은 활동면에서의 동적 응답을 고려하지 않고 제방, 흙댐, 매립지 등 비교적 완만한 경사의 지반구조물을 대상으로 제안되었으며 산사면과 같이 경사진 기반암에 토사층이 피복된 경우에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 산사면의 지형적 특성을 모사한 2차원 비선형 동적해석을 수행하여 이의 동적 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 지진 시 산사면의 영구변위는 활동면에서 계산된 등가가속도를 Newmark 활동블록 방법에 적용하여 계산하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 영구변위는 본 연구에서 제안된 간편 변위 추정식과 비교하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 검토 결과, 산사면의 기하학적 증폭은 입력 지진의 세기와 주기, 토층의 고유주기에 영향을 크게 받으므로 이를 고려하지 않는 기존의 경험식은 영구변위를 정확하게 예측하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 변위 예측식의 정확도는 최대지반가속도, 최대지반속도, Arias 진도, 평균주기와 토층의 고유주기가 고려될 경우 현격하게 향상되는 것으로 분석되었으며 이를 기반으로 하여 새로운 변위추정식이 제시되었다. 나아가 본 연구에 제안된 변위추정식은 산사태 재해 위험도 예측에 적용되어 정확성이 검증되었다.
