Seismic fragility curves of structures represent the probability of exceeding the prescribed structural damage state for a given various levels of ground motion intensity, such as peak ground acceleration (PGA). This means that seismic fragility curves are essential to the evaluation of structural seismic performance and assessments of risk. Most of existing studies have not considered the near- and far-fault earthquake effect on the seismic fragility curves. In order to evaluate the effect of near- and far-fault earthquakes, seismic fragility curves for PSC box girder bridges subjected to near- and far-fault earthquakes are calculated and compared. The seismic fragility curves are strongly dependent on the earthquake characteristics such as fault distance. This paper suggests that the effect of near- and far-fault earthquakes on seismic fragility curves of PSC box girder bridge structure should be considered.

지진해일은 발생빈도는 높지 않지만, 한 번 발생하게 되면 막대한 피해를 일으킬 수 있다. 우리나라에서는 1,900년대 4건의 지진해일이 기록되었으며, 이로 인해 동해안 및 남해안 등에 인명피해 및 재산피해가 발생하였다. 또한 2011년 동일본 지진해일로 인해 후쿠시마 원자력 발전소 변전설비가 침수됨에 따라 냉각수 공급이 중단되고 방화벽이 파괴되어 방사능이 누출되어 큰 피해로 연결되었다. 이러한 피해를 저감하기 위해 지진해일 수치해석과 확률론적 분석방법 등 다양한 방법을 활용한 연구가 국내외 적으로 활발히 수행되고 있다. 본 연구는 확률분포기반 지진해일고 예측모델 개발을 위해 수치해석을 수행하여 지진해일고(tsunami heights)를 산출하고 결과값에 대한 적절한 확률분포 분석을 실시하는 것이다. 지진해일고는 원자력발전소에서 취수구를 통한 냉각수 공급가능 여부를 판단하기 위해 최대 지진해일고(maximum tsunami height)와 최저 지진해일고(minimum tsunami height)로 구분하였다. 지진해일 수치해석은 지진원(단층매개변수) 조사, 조사된 지진원 중 지진해일 수치해석 case 선정을 위한 파향선추적기법(wave ray tracing) 수행, 선정된 지진원에 대해 로직트리(logic tree) 기법 적용, 로직트리를 적용한 지진원 case에 대한 수치해석 순서로 수행하였다. 수치해석을 통해 산출된 최대 및 최저 지진해일고 자료를 기반으로 확률분포형을 선정하기 위하여 확률분포별 적합성 평가를 실시하였다. 선정된 분포를 기준으로 처오름 및 처내림높이와 관련된 다양한 변수간의 의존관계를 파악하였다. 향후, 파악된 의존관계를 기반으로 예측모델을 개발하여 수치해석 결과와 연계함으로써 국내에 적용할 수 있는 확률론적 지진해일재해도를 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In 2017, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety conducted research for the revision of seismic design standards and performed studies on standard design response spectra. As a result, the Common Application Guidelines for Seismic Design Standards were introduced, and these guidelines have been implemented in the national design standards of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport for practical use. However, it should be noted that the research for proposing standard design response spectra during the 2017 revision was conducted before the occurrence of the significant seismic events in South Korea, such as the 2016 Gyeongju Earthquake and the 2017 Pohang Earthquake. To account for these recent major earthquakes, this study adjusted the standard design spectra based on the records of the 2016 Gyeongju Earthquake and the 2017 Pohang Earthquake and conducted ground response analyses accordingly. The results revealed variations in peak ground acceleration (PGA) at the ground surface even within the same ground classification. It was confirmed that this variation can lead to overestimation or underestimation of seismic loads.

This paper describes a GIS-based assessment of residential building damage caused by the 1994 Northridge earthquake in which the fractions of existing buildings damaged at various percentages of replacement cost are related to a range of seismic parameters. The assessment uses data from safety inspection reports and tax assessor records, both of which were geocoded and linked to seismic parameters derived from strong motion records at 164 different sites. The paper also describes a GIS-based pattern recognition algorithm for identifying locations of most intense building damage. The algorithm provides a framework for rapidly screening remote sensing data and dispatching emerging services.

지진시 미끄럼 등과 같이 전형적인 비선형거동을 하는 구조물에 대한 동적해석을 수행하는 경우 먼저 입력지진의 가속도 시간이력에 대한 기준선 조정이 필요할 때가 있다. 인공적으로 작성된 지진기록의 경우 때로 가속도 시간이력을 적분하여 속도 및 변위 시간이력을 얻었을 때 증가하는 형태로 나타나 이로 인하여 비선형응답이 비정상적으로 커질 수 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 바닥이 마찰거동을 하는 구조물에 대해 간단히 모델하여 이러한 예를 보였으며 또한 주로 사용되는 기준선 조정방법들의 응답영향을 비교하였다. 그 결과 입력지진의 기준선 조정을 하지 않는 것이 항상 보수적인 결과만을 보여 주지 않는다는 점과 기준선 조정의 방범에도 표준화가 필요하다는 점을 파악할 수 있었다.

In Korea, the probabilistically developed seismic hazard maps are used with deterministically derived seismic site coefficients in developing the design response spectrum of a specific site. Even though the seismic hazard maps and seismic site coefficients are incompatible, the current design code ignores such incompatibility. If the seismic hazard map and seismic coefficients are both developed in identical probabilistic framework, such problems can be solved. Unfortunately, the available method cannot be use to derive "true" probabilistic site coefficients. This study uses the ground motion time histories, which were developed as the result of a new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis in the companion paper, as input motions in performing one-dimensional equivalent linear site response analyses, from which the uniform hazard response spectra are generated. Another important characteristic of the hazard response spectra are that the uncertainties and randomness of the ground properties are accounted for. The uniform hazard spectra are then used to derive probabilistic site coefficients. Comparison of probabilistic and deterministically site coefficients demonstrate that there is a distinct discrepancy between two coefficients.

A series of nurmerical analysse for the earhtquake of Iran railway tunnles under construction by NATM(New Astrian Tunnelling Method) were careid out throuth a pseudo-dynamic analyses techique used in a FFM computer program, DWTAP(Daewoo Tunnel Analysis Program), and the results are described in the paper. The analyses were performErl for two case;one is for the primary supports and the other is for the rompletEd permanent roncrete lining. The horizontal and verical groW1d accelerations for the design were estimatEd as 0.34 g and 0.23 g, respectively based on the historical reismic rerords in the proj3et area and the empirical equations. The results show that the turmel would be safe W1der the anticipitOO earthquake motion with the permanent roncrete lining, but some minor cracks rnigt be developErl in the primary shotcrete lining without any significant structural damages.

Seismic fragility analysis has been developed to evaluate the seismic performance of existing nuclear power plants, but now its applicability has been extended to buildings and bridges. In general, the seismic fragility curves are evaluated from the nonlinear time-history analysis (THA) using many earthquake ground motions. Seismic fragility analysis using the nonlinear THA requires a time consuming process of structural modeling and analysis. To overcome this shortcoming of the nonlinear THA, simplified methods such as the displacement coefficient method (DCM) and the capacity spectrum method (CSM) are used for the seismic fragility analysis. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the seismic fragility curve calculated by the DCM and the CSM, the seismic fragility curves of a reinforced concrete shear wall structure calculated by the DCM and CSM are compared with those calculated by the nonlinear THA. In order to construct a numerical fragility curve, 190 artificially generated ground motions corresponding to the design spectrum and the methodology proposed by Shinozuka et al. are used.
