Anatahan Volcano in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) erupted for the first time in recorded history on 10 May 2003. The underwater acoustic records of earthquakes, explosions, and tremor produced during the eruption were recorded on a sound-channel hydrophone deployed in February 2003. Acoustic propagation models show the seismic to acoustic conversion at Anatahan is particularly efficient, aided by the slope of the seamount toward the hydrophone. The hydrophone records confirm the onset of earthquake activity at 01:53Z on 10 May, as well as the onset (at ${\~}$06:20Z) of continuous, low-frequency (5-40 Hz) acoustic energy that is likely volcanic tremor related to magma intrusion. The hydrophone recorded a total of 458 earthquakes associated with the eruption. To predict the character of acoustic signals generated from Anatahan, we developed a moment-tensor representation of a volcano-seismic source that is governed by the geometry of the source and the physical properties of the magma. A buried magmatic pipe model was adopted, and numerically modeling source parameters such as the pipe radius and magma viscosity enable us to grasp the inward nature of Anatahan Volcano.

We study seismically induced, anti-plane strain wave motion in a non-homogeneous geological region containing tunnels. Two different scenarios are considered: (a) The first models two tunnels in a finite geological region embedded within a laterally inhomogeneous, layered geological profile containing a seismic source. For this case, labelled as the first boundary-value problem (BVP 1), an efficient hybrid technique comprising the finite difference method (FDM) and the boundary element method (BEM) is developed and applied. Since the later method is based on the frequency-dependent fundamental solution of elastodynamics, the hybrid technique is defined in the frequency domain. Then, an inverse fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is used to recover time histories; (b) The second models a finite region with two tunnels, is embedded in a homogeneous half-plane, and is subjected to incident, time-harmonic SH-waves. This case, labelled as the second boundary-value problem (BVP 2), considers complex soil properties such as anisotropy, continuous inhomogeneity and poroelasticity. The computational approach is now the BEM alone, since solution of the surrounding half plane by the FDM is unnecessary. In sum, the hybrid FDM-BEM technique is able to quantify dependence of the signals that develop at the free surface to the following key parameters: seismic source properties and heterogeneous structure of the wave path (the FDM component) and near-surface geological deposits containing discontinuities in the form of tunnels (the BEM component). Finally, the hybrid technique is used for evaluating the seismic wave field that develops within a key geological cross-section of the Metro construction project in Thessaloniki, Greece, which includes the important Roman-era historical monument of Rotunda dating from the 3rd century A.D.

본 논문에서는 지진파 역행 전파를 이용하여 지진원을 영상화 하는 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 시간 역행 전파는 파동 방정식의 시간 반전의 불변성과 상반정리로 설명할 수 있으며 파동의 시간 역행 전파는 의학적인 목적을 비롯한 비파괴 검사, 그리고 탄성파 파형 역산에 사용되어 매질을 영상화 하는데 활용되고 있다. 지진 관측소에서 관측된 지진파형은 지진원으로부터 방출된 에너지를 기록한 것이다. 이를 시간의 역순으로 매질로 전파시키면, 지진으로부터 전파되었던 에너지가 진원시각의 지진원 위치에 집중하게 되어 지진원을 영상화 시키는 원리이다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 지진파 전파의 수치 모의를 위해 엇갈린 격자 유한 차분법과 병렬 처리 기법을 이용하여 탄성 매질에서의 파동방정식의 해를 구하였다. 수치모의 결과로부터 지진파 역행 전파를 이용해 지진의 시공간적 발생양상을 살펴볼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

이 논문은 3차원 탄성파 토모그래피의 3차원 초동주시 및 역산 알고리즘의 개발과 수치모형 실험을 통하여 3차원 토모그래피 기법의 현장 적용성을 고찰한 연구이다. 3차원 탄성파 주시토모그래피 기법의 현장 적용성을 담보하기 위해서는 한정된 송수신 커버리지에 기인하는 암영대가 발생하지 않아야 하고 또한 경제적인 관점에서 자료처리에 소요되는 시간이 합리적이어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 한정된 송수신 커버리지 문제를 극복하기 위하여 파선 폭의 확장기법의 하나인 프레넬 볼륨에 근거한 3차원 주시 토모그래피 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 또한 3차원 토모그래피 수행에 요구되는 정밀도와 경제성을 확보하기 위해 Fast Marching Method(FMM)을 이용한 초동주시 알고리즘을 선택하였으며 수치모형 실험을 통하여 합리적인 모델변수를 결정하였다. 3차원 고립형 이상체 및 경사진 층서구조 수치모형에 대한 3차원 탄성파속도 입방체를 도출함으로써 개발된 알고리즘의 타당성 및 현장 적용성을 고찰하였다. 재구성된 탄성파 임방체는 원 수치모형과 대비한 결과 상호 부합하는 결과를 확인함으로써 3차원 토모그래피 알고리즘의 타당성 및 현장 적용성을 검증하였다.

High levels of ambient noise and safety factors often limit the use of 'active-source' seismic methods for geotechnical investigations in urban environments. As an alternative, shear-wave velocity-depth profiles can be obtained by treating the background microtremor wave field as a stochastic process, rather than adopting the traditional approach of calculating velocity based on ray path geometry from a known source. A recent field test in Melbourne demonstrates the ability of the microtremor method, using only Rayleigh waves, to resolve a velocity inversion resulting from the presence of a hard, 12 m thick basalt flow overlying 25 m of softer alluvial sediments and weathered mudstone. Normally the presence of the weaker underlying sediments would lead to an ambiguous or incorrect interpretation with conventional seismic refraction methods. However, this layer of sediments is resolved by the microtremor method, and its inclusion is required in one-dimensional layered-earth modelling in order to reproduce the Rayleigh-wave coherency spectra computed from observed seismic noise records. Nearby borehole data provided both a guide for interpretation and a confirmation of the usefulness of the passive Rayleigh-wave microtremor method. Sensitivity analyses of resolvable modelling parameters demonstrate that estimates of shear velocities and layer thicknesses are accurate to within approximately $10\%\;to\;20\%$ using the spatial autocorrelation (SPAC) technique. Improved accuracy can be obtained by constraining shear velocities and/or layer thicknesses using independent site knowledge. Although there exists potential for ambiguity due to velocity-thickness equivalence, the microtremor method has significant potential as a site investigation tool in situations where the use of traditional seismic methods is limited.

A high-resolution seismic survey was conducted at the northeastern boundary of Pungam basin, one of the Cretaceous sedimentary basins in Korea. A 100 kg weight was used as an energy source and was found to be better than a sledge hammer in mapping deeper geologic structures. Several processing techniques such as f-k filtering, predictive deconvolution, and time-variant filtering are useful to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio by suppressing unwanted seismic energy. Four seismic units are recognized where many vertical faults are developed. The boundary fault between sedimentary rocks and Precambrian gneiss is identified along with a fracture zone of approximately 30 m wide. Bedding planes of the sedimentary rocks dipping westward are interpreted to be limbs of a syncline or volcanic flow. There faults and tilted bedding planes indicate that the basin had undergone significant tectonic deformation.

The seismic risk in Seoul Metropolitan Area(latitude 37.0$^{\circ}$~37.8$^{\circ}$, longitude 126.5$^{\circ}$~127.5$^{\circ}$)based on all Korean earthquake data of Modified Mercalli Intensity equal to or greater than V is evaluated by extreme value method and point source method. The seismic risk estimated from all data turned out to be lower than from the data since the Chosen dynasty during which seismic data appear to be rather complete. The damaging earthquake of park horizontal ground acceleration grater than 0.1g turns out to occur with 90% probability of being exceeded in 200 years when the data since the Chosen Dynasty are used.

Peninsular Malaysia lying on the stable Sunda Plate has traditionally been considered safe with low to moderate seismicity. However, far field Sumatran mega-earthquakes have been shown to be capable of triggering ground motions felt in high rise structures in the major Malaysian cities while seismic impact from local earthquakes of moment magnitude 3.8 have reportedly induced nominal structural damages to nearby buildings. This paper presents an overview of the recent seismic activities in and around Peninsular Malaysia with reference to prominent earthquakes generated by far field interplate and local intraplate sources. Records of ground motion data and seismic hazard assessment (SHA) results available in the literature have been analyzed and discussed. The peak ground acceleration (PGA) values from historical records for few local intraplate events were observed to be higher than those for the events from Sumatran Subduction Zone. This clearly points to the need for a detailed and comprehensive SHA incorporating both far field and local sources. Such an analysis would contribute the knowledge required for secure and reliable infrastructure design and safeguard the Malaysian people and economy.

Different types of moment resisting connections are commonly used to transfer the induced seismic moments between frame elements in an earthquake resisting structure. The local connection behavior may drastically affect the global seismic response of the structure. In this study, the finite element and experimental seismic investigations are implemented on two frequently used connection type to evaluate the local behavior and to reveal the failure modes. An alternative connection type is then proposed to eliminate the unfavorable brittle fracture modes resulted from probable poor welding quality. This will develop a reliable predefined ductile plastic mechanism forming away from the critical locations. Employing this technique, the structural reliability of the moment resisting connections shall be improved by achieving a controllable energy dissipation source in form of yielding of the cover plates.

Discriminant method using seismic signal was studied for discrimination of surface explosion. By means of the seismic spectral characteristics, multi-variate discriminant analysis was performed. Four single discriminant techniques - Pg/Lg, Lg1/Lg2, Pg1/Pg2, and Rg/Lg - based on seismic source theory were applied to explosion and earthquake training data sets. The Pg/Lg discriminant technique was most effective among the four techniques. Nevertheless, it could not perfectly discriminate the samples of the training data sets. In this study, a compound linear discriminant analysis was defined by using common characteristics of the training data sets for the single discriminants. The compound linear discriminant analysis was used for the single discriminant as an independent variable. From this analysis, all the samples of the training data sets were correctly discriminated, and the probability of misclassification was lowered to 0.7％.
