The domestic and foreign seismic design codes have specified that time history covers design response spectrum when the response spectrum, which calculated from the time history, is smaller than the design response spectrum at five points or less. In order to verify the design codes, time history analysis for a pier was performed by using five artificial time histories conforming design code with various characteristics and its member forces were evaluated according to them. It was confirmed from analysis results that, regardless of the conformity to design code requirement, seismic design using the artificial time histories could not guarantee earthquake resistant design if the response spectrum from them is lower than design response spectrum at the similar period to the natural frequency of structure. Thus, the time history generating method to make its acceleration response spectrum to be greater than design response spectrum at all period was proposed by two modification function in this study. It was also verified whether time histories from the proposed method satisfy the seismic design codes or not.

Predicting earthquake occurrences accurately is challenging, and preparing all buildings with seismic design for such random events is a difficult task. Analyzing building features to predict potential damage and reinforcing vulnerabilities based on this analysis can minimize damages even in buildings without seismic design. Therefore, research analyzing the efficiency of building damage prediction models is essential. In this paper, we compare the accuracy of earthquake damage prediction models using machine learning classification algorithms, including Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting, LightGBM, and CatBoost, utilizing data from buildings damaged during the 2015 Nepal earthquake.

2007년 1월 20일 20시 56분경 오대산 부근에서 발생한 지진이 제주도를 제외한 전국에서 감지되어 우리 생활에 직접적인 영향을 끼치는 등 더 이상 우리나라도 지진에 안전한 나라가 아니라는 것이 입증되고 있으며, 정부에서도 자연재해대책법에 통신설비에 대한 내진설계 의무화 규정을 포함시켜 현재 시행을 눈앞에 두고 있는 시점에서 통신시설물에 대한 내진성능 평가와 내진대책 수립이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 지진 발생시에 가장 민감하게 반웅하며 피해가 클 것으로 예상되는 통신 장치랙에 대하여 전력설비의 내진성능 검증에 사용되는 인공 지진파와 미국에서 측정한 실측 지진파를 진동대에 입력, 지진모사 실험을 실시하여 지진시 발생할 수 있는 통신장비의 기능 이상 유무를 확인하고 동적 거동 특성을 분석함으로써 장치랙이 보유한 내진성능을 도출하여 보았다. 이러한 지진모사 실험은 향후 통신 장치랙의 내진성능을 평가하는 기준을 수립하는데 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 것이라 판단된다.

PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) is the parameter which indicates the peak value for strong ground motion and is mainly due to the intensity of the seismic wave. Usually, seismic waves can consist of different characteristics and can have different effects on structures. Therefore, it may be undesirable that the effects of a seismic wave are evaluated only based on the PGA. In this study, time history analysis was executed with a single degree of freedom model for inelastic seismic analysis. The numerical model was assumed to be a perfect elasto-plastic model. Input accelerations were made with El Centro NS (1940), other earthquake records and artificial earthquakes. The displacement ductility demand and cumulative dissipated energy, which were calculated from other artificial earthquakes, were compared. As a result, different responses from other seismic waves which have the same PGA were identified. Therefore, an index which could reflect both seismic and structural characteristics is needed. The SI (Spectrum Intensity) scale which could be obtained from integration by parts of the velocity response spectrum could be an index reflecting the inelastic seismic response of structures. It can be possible to identify from correlation analysis among the SI scale, displacement ductility demand and cumulative dissipated energy that the SI scale is sufficient to be an index for the inelastic response of structures under seismic conditions.

The discrimination studies between earthquakes and underground nuclear explosions have been carried out by various seismologists(Nuttli and Kim, 1976; Dahiman and Israelson, 1977; Masse, 1981). The discrimination between local microearthquakes and artificial underground explosions(epicentral distance not greater than 400Km), however, has not been actively studied so far in the light of seismological aspects. Futhermore this kind of research has never been performed in Korea even if it is of great importance for IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) to clearly analyze the military nuclear power of North Korea at present. This research has been carried out by using some of the artificial underground explosions(about 100 events) have occurred in North Korea for the last six years. The azimuths, apparent incidence angles, epicentral distances and locations are determined using a single station of 3 - component data. The detection, location and identification are performed through the polarization and the bandpass filtering. This technique can be also applied to study the inhomogeneous crustal structure finding the converted waves.

We detected the coseismic ionospheric disturbance generated by the earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 and greater in Korean Peninsula. We considered the seismic events such as Gyeongju earthquake in September 2016 with magnitude 5.8, the Pohang earthquake in November 2017 with magnitude 5.4, and the underground nuclear explosion from North Korea in September 2017 with magnitude 5.7. Although all GPS stations were not detected, the ionospheric disturbance induced by these earthquakes occurred approximately 10-30 minutes and 40-60 minutes after the events. We inferred that the time difference within each variation is due to the different focal depth and the geometry of epicenter, satellite, and GPS station. In the case of the Gyeongju earthquake, the earthquake had relatively deeper depth than the other earthquakes. However, the seismic magnitude was bigger and it occurred at nighttime when the ionospheric activity was stable. So we could observe such anomalous variations. It is considered that the ionospheric disturbance caused by the difference in velocity of the upward propagating waves generated by earthquake appears more than once. Our results indicate that the detection of ionospheric disturbances varies depending on the geometry of the GPS station, satellite, and epicenter or the detection method and that the apparent growth of amplitude in the time series varies depending on the focal depth or the site-satellite-epicenter geometry.

일반적으로 내진 설계라 함은 지진에 의하여 발생된 지진동이 특정한 구조물에 작용할 때 이 지 진동의 경향하에서도 구조물의 정상적인 기능을 추진할 수 있도록 설계하는 것을 말하는 바, 원자력발전소의 내진설계에 있어서도 원칙적으로는 동일한 개념이나 실시하는 규정이 타구조물에 비하여 훨씬 엄격한 것이 다른 점이라 하겠다. 현재 우리나라의 경우 원자력 발전소는 1기(고리 #1)가 가동중이고 2기(월성 #1, 고리 #2)가 거의 완공단계에 있으며 7기(고리 #3, #4, 월성 #2, 계마 #1, #2, 부구 #1, #2)가 건설작업중인 바 이중 부구의 경우만 프랑스(\ulcorner)에서 건설 예정이고 기타는 모두 미국 및 카나다에서 건설하였거나 건설 예정이므로 따라서 그 설계에 있어서도 제 규정은 대체로 미국것을 준용하고 있는 형편이다. 그러므로 본고에서 는 미국에서 시행되고 있는 방법 또는 규정에 의거하여 내진설계용 입력지진에 대하여 설명하고자 한다. 내진설계에 입력 으로 사용되는 지진을 설계기준지진(design basis earthquake, DBE)이라고 통칭하며 이 지진은 미국 규정에 의하면 응답스펙트럼(response spectrum)으로 정의되게 되어 있으며 또한 이 응답 스펙트럼에 준하는 인공정인 지진의 시간기득(artificial time history)을 작성 또는 선정하여 이를 발전소 구조물의 내진 해석 및 내진 시험 입력으로 사용하게 되어 있다.

The classical spectral analysis of random vibration is not applicable to the random vibration of nonlinear structures or the dynamic response of active mechanical systems whose governing equations contain random parametric and inhomogeneous excitations. If the random load is simulated, dynamic responses can be obtained with the application of numerical integration schemes to the governing equations of above problems. Thus, in this paper, efficient and practical methods of simulating nonstationary random seismic ground accelerations are presented by using the fast Fourier transform technique. Typical applications of the simulated ground accelerations are the simulations of the dynamic response of rotor-bearing systems under earthquake excitations. The study of accuracy is presented to determine the applicability and practicality of methods of simulation.

This paper evaluates the seismic response of multi-span prestressed concrete girder bridges typically found in the New Madrid Seismic Zone region of the central United States. Using detailed nonlinear analytical models and synthetic ground motion records for Memphis, TN, nonlinear response history analyses are performed for two levels of ground motion: 10% probability of exceedance (PE) in 50 years, and 2% probability of exceedance (PE) in 50 years. The results show that the bridge performance is very good fur the 10% PE in 50 years ground motion level. However, the performance for the 2% PE in 50 years ground motion is not so good because it results in highly inelastic behavior of the bridge. Impact between decks results in large ductility demands on the columns, and failure of the bearings that support the girders. It is found that making the superstructure continuous, which is commonly performed for reducing dead load moments and maintenance requirements, results in significant improvement in the seismic response of prestressed concrete girder bridges.

An intelligent control technique using a neural network is proposed for offshore structures exposed to sea-bed earthquakes. Fluid-structure interaction effect was considered in developing controller and a training algorithm for the neural network is presented. In the numerical example, the performance of the proposed neural network controller was compared with that of a passive controller and uncontrolled structures. Based on the example, it can be concluded that the proposed neuro-control scheme can be used for offshore structures with nonlinear characteristics due to its interaction with fluid.
