과거의 많은 지진 사례에서 볼 수 있듯이 액상화 현상은 부등침하를 일으키고 심한 경우 건물 파괴, 지반 함몰과 같은 심각한 피해를 유발한다. 연구지역인 부산광역시 인근에는 지진발생 가능성이 높은 단층들이 분포하며 양산단층, 동래단층, 일광단층이 도심지를 통과하고 있다. 또한 최근 발생한 경주, 포항, 일본 구마모토 지진의 영향권 내에 위치하며, 도시 내 넓은 단층곡을 따라서 두꺼운 제4기 미고결 충적층이 발달하고 해안 지역에는 해빈 퇴적물과 함께 매립지가 넓게 분포한다. 따라서 부산광역시 인근에서 대형 지진이 발생할 경우 도심지 내에 액상화로 인한 큰 피해가 예상되어, 도시 전 지역을 대상으로 지진재현주기별 액상화 발생 가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 지진재현주기에 따라 정도의 차이는 존재하나 낙동강 하구 평야지대와 부산만, 수영만, 송정역 일대에서 액상화 발생 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 짧은 지진재현주기일수록 부지주기에 따라 상당히 다른 결과가 도출된 반면, 재현주기가 길어질수록 부지주기에 관계없이 그 결과는 비슷한 양상을 보였다.

도심지에서 화약, 기계적 진동 등의 인공 송신원을 이용할 경우 진동 및 소음으로 인한 민원발생으로 탄성파탐사에 어려움이 있다. 인공 송신원의 대안으로 교통차량의 진동에 의해 발생하는 표면파를 이용하여 도심 지하 천부의 물성을 파악할 수 있다. 그러나 교통차량 진동은 일정 속도로 연속적으로 이동하는 평면파의 형태를 하고 있어, 기존의 표면파 처리 및 역산 기법을 적용하기 위해서는 탄성파 간섭법을 적용하여 교통차량 진동 자료를 점-송신원 형태의 가상공통송신원모음으로 변환시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 교통차량 진동 자료에 다양한 탄성파 간섭법을 적용하고, 타우-피 및 주파수-파수 영역에서 그 결과를 비교하여 최적의 탄성파 간섭법을 도출하였다. 또한, 다양한 방향의 수진기 배열로 취득된 자료들에 대해 탄성파 간섭법을 적용하고, 그 결과들을 비교 및 분석하여 탐사에 가장 적합한 수진기 배열 방향을 도출하였다.

Korea is part of a region of low to moderate seismicity located inside the Eurasian plate with bedrock located at depths less than 30 m. However, the spectral acceleration obtained from site response analyses based on the geologic conditions of inland areas of the Korean peninsula are significantly different from the current Korean seismic code. Therefore, suitable site classification scheme and design response spectra based on local site conditions in the Korean peninsula are required to produce reliable estimates of earthquake ground motion. In this study, site-specific response analyses were performed at more than 300 sites with at least 100 sites at each site categories of $S_C$, $S_D$, and $S_E$ as defined in the current seismic code in Korea. The process of creating a huge database of input parameters - such as shear wave velocity profiles, normalized shear modulus reduction curves, damping curves, and input earthquake motions - for site response analyses were described. The response spectra and site coefficients obtained from site response analyses were compared with those proposed for the site categories in the current code. Problems with the current seismic design code were subsequently discussed, and the development and verifications of new site classification system and corresponding design response spectra are detailed in companion papers (II-development of new site categories and design response spectra and III-Verifications)

한반도는 주변의 북중국, 일본과 같이 지구조적 활동이 활발한 지역들에 비해 상대적으로 안정된 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 한반도 남동부 지역을 중심으로 지속적으로 보고되고 있는 제4기 단층의 존재는 한반도의 신기 지체구조 운동의 성격을 본질적이고 구체적으로 이해할 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 경주시 양남면 일대에서 확인된 수렴단층과 읍천단층은 그 최종 운동 시기가 제4기 후기로 확인되고 있어 현생 지구조 체계 하에서 발생하고 있는 지각 변형 사건임을 분명히 지시해 주고 있다. 이들 단층운동과 관련된 동-서 방향의 최대 압축 응력은 인도-호주판과 유라시아 판의 충돌 응력이 원거리에 전파되는 과정에서 발생하는 것으로 이해된다. 특징적으로 한반도 남동부 지역의 제4기 단층들은 반복적 재활성 가능성이 크므로 잠재적 지진 재해에 대비해야 할 것으로 판단되며, 특히 본 연구는 연구 지역 내에 위치하고 있는 원자력 발전소 인근의 지진 안정성에 관한 중요한 단서를 제공하고 있다.

Reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames supported on two ground levels have been widely constructed in mountainous areas with medium to high seismicity in China. In order to investigate the seismic collapse behavior and risk, a scaled frame model was tested under constant axial load and reversed cyclic lateral load. Test results show that the failure can be induced by the development of story yielding at the first story above the upper ground. The strong column and weak beam mechanism can be well realized at stories below the upper ground. Numerical analysis model was developed and calibrated with the test results. Three pairs of six case study buildings considering various structural configurations were designed and analyzed, showing similar dynamic characteristics between frames on two ground levels and flat ground of each pair. Incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) were then conducted to obtain the seismic collapse fragility curves and collapse margin ratios of nine analysis cases designated based on the case study buildings, considering amplification of earthquake effect and strengthening measures. Analysis results indicate that the seismic collapse safety is mainly determined by the stories above the upper ground. The most probable collapse mechanism may be induced by the story yielding of the bottom story on the upper ground level. The use of tie beam and column strengthening can effectively enhance the seismic collapse safety of frames on two ground levels.

A methodology for the seismic vulnerability assessment of historical monuments is presented in this paper. The ongoing work has been conducted in Tunisia within the framework of the FP6 European Union project (WIND-CHIME) on the use of appropriate modern seismic protective systems in the conservation of Mediterranean historical buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The case study is the five-century-old Zaouia of Sidi Kassem Djilizi, located downtown Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. Ambient vibration tests were conducted on the case study using a number of force-balance accelerometers placed at selected locations. The Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD) technique was applied to extract the dynamic characteristics of the monument. A 3-D finite element model was developed and updated to obtain reasonable correlation between experimental and numerical modal properties. The set of parameters selected for the updating consists of the modulus of elasticity in each wall element of the finite element model. Seismic vulnerability assessment of the case study was carried out via three-dimensional time-history dynamic analyses of the structure. Dynamic stresses were computed and damage was evaluated according to a masonry specific plane failure criterion. Statistics on the occurrence, location and type of failure provide a general view for the probable damage level and mode. Results indicate a high vulnerability that confirms the need for intervention and retrofit.

The seismic vulnerability of Turkey is relatively high due to its active fault systems with potential to create destructive earthquakes. Thus, reducing the loss of life and property, the number of the earthquake-prone buildings and their retrofit requirements are considerably significant key issues under the scenario earthquakes. The street survey based rapid assessment (SSRA) method can be considered as a powerful tool to determine the seismic vulnerability of building stock of an earthquake-prone city/state. In this study, the seismic vulnerability of the building stock of the Kirikkale province in Turkey is aimed to be estimated adopting the street survey based rapid assessment method (SSRA). For this purpose, central 2074 existing reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings were structurally surveyed with rapid visual site screening and disadvantages such as, the existence of short-column, soft-story, heavy overhangs, pounding effect and local soil conditions were determined for obtaining the structural performance score of each. The results obtained from the study demonstrate that 11-25% of the surveyed buildings in the study region needs to be investigated through more advanced assessment methods. Besides, higher correlation between increasing story number and unsafe/safe building ratio is obtained for the buildings with soft-story parameter than that for those with heavy overhangs and short-column parameters. The conformity of the results of the current study with the previous documented cases of rapid assessment efforts in the recent earthquakes in Turkey shows that the SSRA method for the Kirikkale province performed well, and thus this methodology can be reliably used for similar settlement areas.

Most seismic sea waves in the East Sea originate from earthquakes occurring near the Japanese west coast. While the waves propagate in the East Sea, they are deformed by refraction, diffraction and scattering. Though the Boussinesq equation is most applicable for such wave phenomena, it was not used in numerical modelling of seismic sea waves in the East Sea. To examine characteristics of seismic sea waves in the East Sea, numerical models based on the Boussinesq equation are established and used to simulate recent tsunamis. By considering Ursell parameter and Kajiura parameter, it is proved that Boussinesq equation is a proper equation for seismic sea waves in the East Sea. Two models based on the Boussinesq equation and linear wave equation are executed with the same initial conditions and grid size ($1min{\times}1min$), and the results are compared in various respects. The Boussinesq equation model produced better results than the linear model in respect to wave propagation and concentration of wave energy. It is also certified that the Boussinesq equation model can be used for operational purpose if it is optimized. Another Boussinesq equation model whose grid size is $40sec{\times}30sec$ is set up to simulate the 1983 and 1993 tsunamis. As the result of simulation, new propagation charts of 2 seismic sea waves focused on the Korean east coast are proposed. Even though the 1983 and 1993 tsunamis started at different areas, the propagation paths near the Korean east coast are similar and they can be distinguished into 4 paths. Among these, total energy and propagating time of the waves passing over North Korea Plateau(NKP) and South Korea Plateau(SKP) determine wave height at the Korean east coast. In case of the 1993 tsunami, the wave passing over NKP has more energy than the wave over SKP. In case of the 1983 tsunami, the huge energy of the wave passing over SKP brought about great maximum wave heights at Mukho and Imwon. The Boussinesq equation model established in this study is more useful for simulation of seismic sea waves near the Korean east coast than it is the Japanese coast. To improve understanding of seismic sea waves in shallow water, a coastal area model based on the Boussinesq equation is also required.

배관시스템은 다양한 산업 분야에서 이용되는 중요한 설비이며 생활 및 안전과 관련된 영역에서 사용되고 있다. 배관시스템은 건축물 및 시설의 주요 구조부에 고정되어 있으나 외부 하중을 지지하지 않으며 주어진 고유기능을 수행하는 비구조요소이다. 지진하중으로 인한 배관시스템은 두 지지점 사이의 서로 다른 거동으로 발생하는 위상차로 인한 상대 변위의 영향을 받으며 변위 지배적인 반복거동 때문에 손상이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 배관시스템에서 피팅과 조인트는 지진하중에 취약한 대표적인 요소이다. 배관시스템의 피팅과 조인트에 대한 내진성능과 한계상태를 평가하고자 한다면 상대변위를 모사하기 위한 높은 스트로크를 가지는 엑츄에이터가 필요하나 실험을 수행할 수 있는 설비가 많지 않아 어려움이 있다. 따라서 피팅과 조인트로 연결된 배관시스템의 내진성능과 한계상태를 평가하기 위해서는 요소 단위의 실험이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 수직배관시스템에서 지진하중에 취약한 요소인 피팅과 조인트를 포함하는 엘보 시험체에 대하여 내진성능을 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 엘보 시험체는 90° 배관 엘보의 양단에 직관부를 유동식 그루브 조인트를 이용하여 연결하였다. 엘보 시험체에 대하여 변형각에 기반을 둔 주기하중 프로토콜을 이용하여 내진성능을 평가하였다. 평가된 내진성능에 대한 여유도를 확인하기 위하여 일정한 진폭에 대한 주기하중을 적용하여 한계상태를 평가하였다.

The rate of occurrence of intraplate earthquake events has been surveyed around the globe to ascertain the average level of intraplate seismic activities on land. Elastic response spectra corresponding to various levels of averaged (uniform) seismicity for a return period of 2475 years have then been derived along with modifying factors that can be used to infer ground motion and spectral response parameters for other return period values. Estimates derived from the assumption of uniform seismicity are intended to identify the minimum level of design seismic hazard in intraplate regions. The probabilistic seismic hazard assessment presented in the paper involved the use of ground motion models that have been developed for regions of different tectonic and crustal classifications. The proposed minimum earthquake loading model is illustrated by the case study of Peninsular Malaysia which has been identified with a minimum effective peak ground acceleration (EPGA) of 0.1 g for a return period of 2475 years, or 0.07 g for a notional return period of 475 years.
