지진 등에 의해 유발된 동 하중에 의한 지반-구조물 계의 응답은 지반-구조물사이의 경계에서의 마찰특성과 미끄러짐에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 진동대(Shaking table)를 이용하여 조립토와 건설재료(steel)와의 경계에서 지반으로부터 지중구조물에 전달되는 전단응력의 전달정도를 파악하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 본 실험에서 설정한 미끄러짐속도 범위 내에서는 미끄러짐속도 변화에 따른 조립토와 건설재료(steel) 사이의 동마찰계수의 변화가 작다는 사실이 관찰되었다. 그리고 조립토의 평균유효입경의 변화가 동마찰계수에 미치는 영향도 함께 조사되었으며, 이 동마찰계수를 같은 조립토에 대한 평면변형률시험을 통해 얻어진 최대내부마찰각으로부터 구한 마찰계수와 비교하여 정량화하였다.

집중호우로 인한 자연재해는 대부분 하천을 중심으로 발생하며, 설계빈도를 초과한 홍수량을 인해 제방을 월류하거나 제방의 붕괴로 인해 피해가 발생하게 된다. 일반적으로 제방 붕괴와 같은 홍수의 위험으로부터의 취약성을 감소시키는 동시에, 홍수에 의한 피해에 대해 빠른 복구가 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 정책을 홍수 경감 대책이라고 하며, 홍수에 대비하는 정책은 홍수의 주기 및 재해특성과 관련이 있고, 인간과 사회에 대한 잠재적인 피해를 줄이기 위해 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 이유에 의해 발생하는 제방의 붕괴 현상이 복잡한 수리학적 또는 토질 기초 공학적 현상 등에 의하여 일어나기 때문에 이에 대한 발생 원인을 규명하는 것이 쉬운 일은 아니나, 일반적 월류, 세굴, 침하 및 지진 등으로 꼽히는 제방 붕괴 위험 원인들을 검토하여 제방 붕괴를 유발할 수 있는 하천의 위험 인자들을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 토대로 하천 내 주요지점에 대한 위험도를 산정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하고 시험유역을 대상으로 하천에서 발생 가능한 위험 지구를 선정하여 그 타당성을 검토하고자 하였다.

인류의 역사는 태풍, 지진, 해일, 홍수 그리고 가뭄 등과 같은 자연재해와의 끊임없는 투쟁으로 점철되어왔다. 최근 들어 지구 온난화는 인류의 생존에 커다란 위협으로 대두되었다. 우주시대에 접어들면서 인간의 활동은 지구 대기권 밖으로까지 확대되면서 인간의 사회 경제적인 활동이 인공위성을 위시하여 매우 정밀한 기기에 의존하게 되었다. 그러나 인공위성과 더불어 현대사회를 지탱하는 전력, 통신, 운송 등과 같은 사회기반시설들은 태양활동에 매우 취약하다는 점이 확인되었다. 태양에서 플레어나 CME가 발생하면 X-선 복사와 더불어 고에너지 하전입자가 방출되면서 지구주변 우주환경에 급격한 변화가 일어난다. 이 기간 동안 인공위성, 전력, 통신, 항법 등이 영향을 받아 다양한 사회 경제적인 손실이 유발된다. 따라서 태양활동으로 인한 이들 시설의 붕괴 내지는 기능 저하는 현대사회의 근간을 훼손하는 이제까지 경험하지 못했던 새로운 형태의 자연재해가 될 것이다. 이 논문에서는 역사적으로 우주환경의 급격한 변화가 야기한 문제점들을 살펴보고 태양활동이 장래에 인류의 삶에 어떠한 영향을 미칠지를 전망하고자 한다.

A subsea tunnel, being a super-sized underground structure must ensure safety at the time of earthquake, as well as at ordinary times. At the time of earthquake, in particular, of a subsea tunnel, a variety of response behaviors are induced owing to relative rigidity to the surrounding ground, or difference of displacement, so that the behavior characteristics can be hardly anticipated. The investigation aims to understand the behavior characteristics switched by earthquake of an imaginary subsea tunnel which passes through a fault zone having different physical properties from those of the surrounding ground. In order to achieve the aim, dynamic response behaviors of a subsea tunnel which passes through a fault zone were observed by means of indoor experiments. For the sake of improved earthquake resistance, a shape of subsea tunnel to which flexible segments have been applied was considered. Afterward, it is believed that a D/B can be established through 3-dimensional earthquake resistance interpretation of various grounds, on the basis of verified results from the experiments and interpretations under various conditions. The present investigation performed 1 g shaking table test in order to verify the result of 3-dimensional earthquake resistance interpretation. A model considering the similitude (1:100) of a scale-down model test was manufactured, and tests for three (3) Cases were carried out. Incident seismic wave was introduced by artificial seismic wave having both long-period and short-period earthquake properties in the horizontal direction which is rectangular to the processing direction of the tunnel, so that a fault zone was modeled. For numerical analysis, elastic modulus of the fault zone was assumed 1/5 value of the modulus of individual grounds surround the tunnel, in order to simulate a fault zone. Resultantly, reduced acceleration was confirmed with increase of physical properties of the fault zone, and the result from the shaking table test showed the same tendency as the result from 3-dimensional interpretation.

When constructing a synthetic seismogram in the earthquake study or in seismic data interpretation by using a ray-tracing technique, the most troublesome and error-prone task is to define a suite of ray codes for the corresponding rays to trace in advance. An infinite number of rays exist for any arbitrarily located source and receiver in a medium. Missing certain important rays or an inappropriate selection of ray codes in tracing rays may result in wrong interpretation of the earthquake record or seismogram. Automatic ray code generation could be able to eliminate those problems. In this study we have developed an efficient algorithm with which one can generate systematically all the ray codes for the source(s) and receiver(s) arbitrarily located in a model. The result of this work could be used not only in analysing multiples in seismic data processing and interpretation, but also in coda wave study, study on the amplification effects in a basin and phase identification of the waves multiply reflected/refracted in earthquake study.

This paper reviews fundamentals of a pseudo-static seismic design/analysis method for soil-reinforced segmental retaining walls. A comparative study on NCMA and FHWA seismic design guidelines, which are one of the most well known design guidelines for mechanically stabilized earth walls, was also performed. The results demonstrate that there exist significant discrepancies in the results of external stability analysis despite the same calculation model used in the two guidelines, due primarily to different seismic coefficient selection criteria. It is also demonstrated that the internal stability calculation model for NCMA guideline tends to yield larger seismic reinforcement force in the shallower reinforcement layers, resulting in an increased number of reinforcement layers at the top of reinforced wall and increased reinforcement lengths to ensure adequate anchorage capacity. The internal stability calculation model adopted by FHWA guideline, however, leads to redistribution of dynamic force to the lower reinforcement layers and thus results n an opposite trend of NCMA guideline. Findings from this study clearly demonstrate a need for more in-depth studies to develop a generally acceptable design/analysis method.

Most of the columns in centrally braced steel frame buildings are usually designed as the gravity columns to reduce connection cost. For a rational seismic performance evaluation of centrally braced steel frame buildings, it is important to properly incorporate in the analysis  the P-${\Delta}$ effects arising from the gravity columns. An effective scheme for the P-${\Delta}$ effects modeling due to the gravity columns was illustrated based on the concept of fictitious leaning column. Seismic performance evaluation of inverted V braced steel frames with or without P-${\Delta}$ effects modeling was conducted by following the FEMA 273 NSP (Nonlinear Static Procedure). The problem in estimating dynamic P-${\Delta}$ modification factor (C3) in FEMA 273 was discussed. The results of this study indicated that the P-${\Delta}$ effects should be included in the seismic performance evaluation of centrally braced steel frames. This study also showed that the inverted V braced frames, retrofitted by applying the tie bars to redistribute the inelastic demand over the height of the building, exhibit significantly improved seismic performance.

The purpose of this study is to develop a prototype curtain wall with improved seismic performance and to verify the seismic performance by conducting an inter-floor displacement test. To this end, a prototype of the curtain wall was manufactured and a displacement similar to the earthquake load was induced, and then the damaged state of the curtain wall was checked. As a result of the first test, the frame and glass of the curtain wall were not damaged, but the Weather Sealant was partially damaged. As a result of the second test, there was no problem of glass breakage in seismic class (special), seismic class (I), seismic class (II), and AAMA 501.6. Through this experiment, the seismic performance of the curtain wall prototype was verified.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake, the social interest of seismic retrofitting of RC structure is growing. Especially, the RC columns that are not reflected seismic design can not resist lateral loads by the earthquake. The brittle fracture of Non-seismic designed columns lead to full collapse of the building. Thus, the emergency columns reinforcement method is needed. That have a fast construction time, do not cause damage to the column. In the past, cross-sectional expansion method, a steel plate reinforcing method is applied mainly, but in recent years, carbon fiber sheet taking advantage of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is widely used. In this study, retrofitting effect of seismic performance of FRP seismic reinforcement, which is possible to emergency construction, was examined. Reinforced concrete specimens were constructed to experimental study. The seismic performence of specimes retrifitted with FRP seismic reinforcement were evaluated. As a result, the seismic performance of specimen reinforced with FRP seismic reinforcement has been improved.
