역사지진 카탈로그 즉, 1960년대 전과 이후 1995년까지의 지진관측을 이용하여 한반도의 지진활동과 응력상태가 연구되었다. 이씨왕조의 처음 1400-1600년대의 200년동안 역사지진 카탈로그는 크게 완성되었다. 그후부터 카탈로그는 거의 강진만 완성하는데 주력했다. 강진분포를 볼때 한반도 지진대는 서울-평양 지진대, 남부지진대, 그리고 북부지진대로 나눌 수 있다. 이들 강진의 초동 메카니즘은 그리드 테스팅 방법(grid testing method)에 의해서 재분석되었다. 지진메카니즘 결과는 압축방향이 동서방향을 따라서 수평으로 놓여 있음을 발견했다.

Considering the history of severe earthquakes and the presence of active faults in the greater Tehran region, the possibility of a destructive earthquake occurring is high and seismic hazard analysis is crucial. Gumbel distributions are commonly-used statistical distributions in earthquake engineering and seismology. Their main advantage is their basis on the largest earthquake magnitudes selected from an equal-time predefined set. In this study, the first asymptotic distribution of extremes is used to estimate seismicity parameters and peak ground acceleration (PGA). By assuming a Poisson distribution for the earthquakes, after estimation of seismicity parameters, the mean return period and the probable maximum magnitude within a given time interval are obtained. A maximum probable magnitude of 7.0 has a mean return period of 100 years in this region. For a return period of 475 years, the PGA in the greater Tehran region is estimated to be 0.39g to 0.42g, depending on local site conditions. This value is greater than that of the Iranian Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, indicating that a revision of the code is necessary.

The results from the Individual Plant Examination of External Event of Yonggwyang nuclear power plants, unit 3 & 4, in Korea have shown that the high degree of diversities of the experts' opinions on seismicity and attenuation models is su, pp.sed to be generic cause of uncertainty of APEs(annual exceedance probability) in the PAHA(probabilistic seismic hazard analysis). This study investigated the sensitivity of the focal depth, which is one of the most uncertain seismicity parameters in Korea, Significant differences in resultant values of annual exceedance probabilities and much more symmetrical shape of the resultant PDFs(probability density functions), in case of consideration of focal depth, are found. These two results suggest that, even for the same seismic input data set including the seismicity models and ground motion attenuation models, to consider focal depth additionally for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis evaluation makes significant influence on the distributions of uncertainties and probabilities of exceedance per year for the whole ranges of seismic hazard levels. These facts suggest that it is necessary to derive focal depth parameter more effectively from the historical and instrumental documents on earthquake phenomena in Koran Peninsula for the future study of PSHA.

This paper briefly introduces the design seismic loads in Korea (KBC 2009). Then, over 10,000 recorded earthquake ground accelerograms, with their magnitude ranging from 4.0 to 8.0 and their epicentral distance ranging from 0 to 200 km, were used to examine the appropriateness of seismic load defined in Korea known as a low-to-moderate seismicity region. The following conclusions are drawn based on the results: (1) The effective peak ground accelerations (EPA) of recorded earthquake accelerograms under $M{\leq}6.0$ and $R{\geq}15km$ appear to be less than that of MCE in Korea for all site conditions defined in KBC 2009. (2) The design spectrum (two-thirds of the intensity of MCE) in KBC 2009 is comparable to those of earthquake records in the magnitude 6 - 7 and the epicentral distance less than 50 km. Therefore, (3) the intensity of Korean design earthquake is considered to be overly high since the Korea peninsula is generally conceived to be a low-seismicity region.

It has knows that the seismicity of the Korean Peninsula is relatively inactive than those of adjacent northern China and southwestern Japan. Recently the review of long term historical records and recent seismicity. In addition, it is considered that the modern society is more vulnerable to seismic hazard because of high urbanization and industrialization. From this viewpoint, the improvement and modification of the present regulation for aseismic design is strongly proposed. The purpose of the present study is to prepare seismic hazard maps for Korea to be used in improving the present regulation. The present study was performed as a cooperative project of eight Korean seismologists. Each seismologist calculated independently seismic hazard value at the given grid points based on his own judgement about methodology and seismicity. Then the values are unified with equal weight to produce a seismic hazard map. Seven seismic hazard maps for peak acceleration with 10 percentile probability of exceedance in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500 years are presented. This probability of exceedancd in such years corresponds to return period of 48, 95, 190, 475, 950, 2373, 4747 years, respectively. It is recommended to use a hazard map to be selected on the basis of the importance and the design level of structures.

In the nonlinear dynamic structural analysis, the given ground excitation as an input should be well defined. Because of the lack of recorded accelerograms in Korea, it is required to generate an artificial earthquake by a stochastic model of ground excitation with various dynamic properties rather than recorded accelerograms. It is well own that earthquake motions are generally non-stationary with time-varying intensity and frequency content. Many researchers have proposed non-stationary random process models. Yeh and Wen (1990) proposed a non-stationary stochastic process model which can be modeled as components with an intensity function, a frequency modulation function and a power spectral density function to describe such non-stationary characteristics. This model is based on the simulation for the strong-motion earthquakes with magnitude greater than approximately 5.0~6.0, because it will be not only expected to cause structural damage but also involved the characteristics of earthquake motions. Also, the recorded earthquake motion within this range are still very scarce in Korea. Thus, it is necessary to verify the model by the application of it to the mid-magnitude (approximately 4.0~6.0) earthquakes actually recorded in domestic or foreign area. The purpose of the paper is to generate an artificial earthquake using the model of Yeh and Wen in the area with low seismicity.

균일한 모델에 대하여 해석적인 방법을 적용하여 한반도 남동부의 감쇠상수 고유치를 분리하였다. 해석적인 방법에 의한 이론치와 759 지진자료에 의한 관측치를 다중지연시간창법으로 비교하여 분리를 행하였다. 이전의 연구에서 한반도의 전체 $Q_i^{-1}$과 $Q_s^{-1}$ 값은 매우 낮은 값이 도출되어 지진 안정지대의 값을 반영하는 것으로 풀이된 반면, 한반도 남동부는 비교적 높은$Q^{-1}$값이어서 이는 한반도 타지역에 비해 높은 지진활동도와 연관된 것으로 보인다.

Lake Van Basin, located in Eastern Turkey, is worth examining in terms of seismicity due to large-scale losses of property and life during the historical and instrumental period. The most important and largest province in this basin is Van. Recent indicators of the high seismicity risk in the province are damage occurring after devastating earthquakes in 2011 (Mw=7.2 and Mw=5.6) and lastly in 2020 Khoy (Mw=5.9). The seismic hazard analysis for Van and its districts in Eastern Turkey was performed in probabilistic manner. Analyses were made for thirteen different districts in Van. In this study, information is given about the tectonic setting and seismicity of Van. The probabilistic seismic hazard curves were obtained for a probability of exceedance of 2%, 10% and 50% in 50-year periods. The PGA values in the Van province vary from 0.24 g - 0.43 g for earthquakes with repetition period of 475 years. Risk priorities were determined for all districts. The highest risk was calculated for Çaldıran and the lowest risk was found for Gürpınar. Risk priorities for buildings in all districts were also determined via rapid seismic assessment for reinforced-concrete and masonry buildings in this study.

한반도의 지진들은 주로 중생대에 반도에서 발생한 격렬한 지각변동으로 생성된 단층 및 깨어진 주요 지질구조의 경계에서 발생한다. 이 지진들은 Eurasian plate와 충돌하는 인접한 Indian plate와 Pacific plate 및 Philippine plate에 의한 E-W 내지 ENE-SSW 방향의 압축력장에서 반도 내의 주로 NNE-SSW 방향의 활성단층들이 깨어지며 발생하며 주향성분이 우세한 역단층의 메커니즘을 갖는다. 한반도의 지진활동은 지난 20세기 동안 15~18세기의 이례적으로 높은 기간을 제외하고는 비교적 낮거나 중간수준이며 이는 판내부 지진활동의 전형적인 불규칙한 양상을 보여준다. 한반도의 지각구조는 상부지각과 하부지각을 뚜렷하게 구분하는 Conrad 면이 없는 대체로 균질한 지각이며 수평적 불균질성은 존재한다. 지각의 평균 두께는 33 km 정도이며 Airy 형의 지각균형을 이루고 있어 산악지방이 평야지역에 비하여 지각의 두께가 더 크다. P파의 속도는 지표 부근에서 Moho 면까지 점진적으로 증가하며 평균은 대략 6.3 km/sec이다. 상부맨틀의 P파(Pn)의 속도는 대략 7.8 km/sec이다.

지진 관련 정책 입안과 수행에 우선적으로 고려되어야 할 정보가 지진 발생현황이지만, 대도시와 인구밀집 지역의 경우 높은 생활잡음으로 인해 작은 규모의 지진 발생을 정확히 인지하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 2010년부터 2017년까지 부산지역에서 발생했지만, 규모가 작아 기상청 지진목록에 수록되지 않은 미소 지진 10회를 파형의 유사성을 이용하여 검출하였고, 기존에 발생사실을 알고 있던 지진을 포함하여 총 12회의 지진을 분석에 사용하였다. 새로이 보고되는 지진은 선형을 보이면서 발생하고 있지만, 주변의 단층과 직접적으로 연관하여 해석하기에는 자료가 충분치 않다. 규모가 작은 미소 지진이 꾸준히 발생한다는 것은 지하에 지진을 일으키는 단층이 존재함을 시사하고, 부산과 같은 인구밀집 지역에서 과거 피해를 유발한 역사지진과 비슷한 규모의 지진이 발생한다면 대형 피해로 발전될 가능성이 매우 크다. 최근 우리나라에서 발생한 피해 유발 지진이 지표파열을 동반하지 않고 발생하고 있음을 고려할 때 현재 발생하고 있는 미소 지진 현황을 파악하여 지표 단층조사와 함께 지하단층을 규명하는데 활용하여야 한다.
