The HANARO seismic monitoring system is classified as non-nuclear safety(NNS), seismic category I, and quality class T The seismic monitoring system installed at the instrument room consists of five field sensors and one monitoring cabinet. The field sensors are composed of three triaxial accelerometers which installed at base slab, free field and overhead crane support respectively, a seismic trigger and a seismic switch at base slab. The most parts of analog system except field sensors are not produced any more, the improvement of the system is to be needed. The analog system with magnetic tape recorder is not only out-of-date model but dependent upon foreign technology. So it is difficult to get the spare parts and the cost to buy them is increased. Therefore we have improved the analog seismic monitoring system into a new digital seismic monitoring analysis system(SMAS) except five field sensors. After the installation of the new SMAS, we have carried out the site acceptance test(SAT) to confirm the field functions. The results of SAT satisfy the requirements of the fabrication technical specification. This new SMAS is operating at HANARO instrument room to acquire and analyse the signal of earthquake.

Frequency responses for most of the local seismic sensors in Korea have been roughly checked by mutual comparison of Fourier spectra of seismic records from accelerometer and seismometer, both of which are installed at the same location. Especially, because the frequency content of the seismic energy is usually above 1 Hz for local earthquakes, the reliability of low frequency response could have not been evaluated. Fortunately a recent large earthquake, Ms=7.2 on 02/06/29 containing dominant low frequency energy makes it possible to check the low frequency response of the seismic sensors, especially EpiSensor and JC-V100. Considering two types of sensor pairs, (STS-2 and EpiSensor, JC-V100 and EpiSensor), the low frequency response of EpiSensor is confirmed first by comparison with STS-2 which has proved low frequency response. Second, reliable low frequency limit of instrumentally corrected seismic data from JC-V100 data is estimated to be about 0.03 Hz by comparison with EpiSensor data.

This paper reports on a design of the footstep signal detection system using the seismic sensor. First, we analyzed the characteristics of seismic signal, seismic sensor, and the UGS(Unattended Ground Sensor) system with seismic sensors. In addition, we summarized the existing algorithms to detect footstep using the seismic sensors, and developed our low-power and high efficient footstep detection algorithm. In this paper, the sensor node operations are classified into three different steps and different resources and algorithms are applied to each step, not only to minimize the power consumption, but also to improve the performance.

작전지역의 감시/경계에 활용되는 감시정찰 센서 네트워크에서 배치되는 지진동센서의 위치 정보와 탐지 신호 세기를 활용하여 표적의 위치를 산출하는 방법을 제안한다. 중계기에서 단말기로부터 수신받은 각 지진동센서들의 위치 정보와 센서로부터 수신된 탐지 신호 세기를 이용하여 표적 위치를 산출한다. 표적 측위 시 동적으로 오프셋을 제하는 방식을 통해 환경적 요인에 의한 성능 편차를 줄였다. 실제 표적 위치와 산출된 표적 위치의 차이를 통해 성능을 비교 검증하였다. 오차 평균 3.62m까지 감소하여 가중 중심 측위 방법보다 최대 62% 향상된 결과를 얻었다.

We performed seismic noise level analysis to access the proper functioning of 11 newly established seismic stations in the southeastern region of Korea. One-hour long segments of seismograms were selected from the continuous data of the 3 elements for 61 days from March 1, 2019. For each segment of data, the power spectral density (PSD) was estimated from the continuous back ground noise data of the 3 elements for periods ranging from 0.02~100 s. The median noise levels (NLs) of the stations were compared with the new noise model (NNM) of USGS and NLs of station TJN installed in a tunnel on a granite basement. We observed that the NLs of the newly installed seismometers were between the upper and lower limit of the NNM. In a comparison with the noise level of station TJN, the new seismometers had their own noteworthy features. The NLs from accelerometers (Epi-sensors) were ~ 40 dB higher than the NLs from velocimeters (STS-sensors) for periods > 10 s, which is because the small and light Epi-sensors are sensitive to environmental changes. Daily and weekly variations in spectral noise level were observed clearly in short periods < 1 s, and these are considered to be related to human activities. The seismometers in boreholes showed ~20 dB weaker NLs in the cultural noise band. The NLs of accelerometers at a depth of 30 m were also much lower by 30 dB for long periods > 10 sec. Overall the functioning of the new velocimeter and accelerometer stations was reliable for periods ranging from 0.02~100 s and 0.02~10 s, respectively.

This paper gives a brief review of seismicity and seismic monitoring in surface mines. A summary of various researches related to seismicity is presented. Our research focuses on the understanding of seismicity and the application of analytical techniques to seismicity. Seismic monitoring plays an important role in the identification of potential failure planes and thereby predict potential failures. Much of the instrumentation used in our research is derived from earthquake monitoring systems. The major aspects in seismic monitoring are an instrumentation used, size of the network and data acquisition systems. Seismic monitoring in surface mines could be successfully applied to the improvement of safety standards in slope stability.

The emerging sensor-based structural health monitoring (SHM) technology has a potential for cost-effective maintenance of aging civil infrastructure systems. The author proposes to integrate continuous and global monitoring using on-structure sensors with targeted local non-destructive evaluation (NDE). Significant technical challenges arise, however, from the lack of cost-effective sensors for monitoring spatially large structures, as well as reliable methods for interpreting sensor data into structural health conditions. This paper reviews recent efforts and advances made in addressing these challenges, with example sensor hardware and health monitoring software developed in the author's research center. The hardware includes a novel fiber optic accelerometer, a vision-based displacement sensor, a distributed strain sensor, and a microwave imaging NDE device. The health monitoring software includes a number of system identification methods such as the neural networks, extended Kalman filter, and nonlinear damping identificaiton based on structural dynamic response measurement. These methods have been experimentally validated through seismic shaking table tests of a realistic bridge model and tested in a number of instrumented bridges and buildings.

무선 센서네트워크에서 사용하는 센서는 PIR, 이미지, 전자파 센서와 같은 지향성 센서와 진동, 음향, 자기센서와 같은 비지향성 센서로 구분할 수 있다. 지향성 센서의 성능을 보장하기 위해서는 센서의 설치위치는 가시선이 보장되는 곳에 설치가 되어야 하므로 노드 설치 위치는 지표면보다 높은 곳에 설치가 된다. 비지향성 센서 중 진동센서의 경우 센서 특성상 지표면에 설치가 되어야 한다. 이로 인해 지표면에 설치되는 비지향성 센서는 통신 장애로 인하여 네트워크 연결성 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 센서 고유특성을 살려서 커버리지를 최대화하고, 센서노드의 설치높이를 고려한 토폴로지 구성을 통해 네트워크 연결성을 최대화할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 비지향성 센서는 지표면에 배치하고, 지향성 센서는 나무나 폴대와 같은 물체를 이용하여 지상에 설치하여 센서 커버리지를 최대화 한다. 그리고 설치높이가 낮은 센서노드는 설치높이가 높은 센서노드에 우선 연결하고, 설치높이가 높은 센서노드는 설치높이가 높은 센서노드와 연결하는 토폴로지를 구성하여 네트워크 연결성을 최대화하는 것이다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안방법을 검증하였으며, 커버리지와 네트워크 연결성에서 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
