This paper examined the characteristics of ductile and brittle structural elements with detailed mapping by lithofacies classification to clarify the relationship between the geological structure and the geochemical high-grade uranium anormal zone and to provide the basic information on the flow of groundwater in the eastern area of Shinbo mine, Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Korea. It indicates that this area is mainly composed of Precambrian quartzite, metapelite, metapsammite, which show a zonal distribution of mainly ENE-WSW trend, and age unknown pegmatite and Cretaceous porphyry which intrude them. But the Cretaceous Jinan Group which unconformably covers them, contrary to assumption, could not be observed. The main ductile deformation structures of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks were formed at least through three phases of deformation [ENE striking regional foliation (D1) -> ENE or EW striking crenulation foliation (D2) -> WNW or EW trending open, tight, kink folds (D3)]. The predominant orientation of S1 regional foliation strikes ENE and dips south, being similar to the zonal distribution of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks. Most predominant orientation of high-angled brittle fracture (dip angle ${\geq}45^{\circ}$) [ENE (frequency: 24.3%) > NS (23.9%) > (N)NW (18.8%) > WNW (16.9%) > NE (16.1%) fracture sets in descending frequency order], which is closely related to the flow of groundwater, strikes ENE and dips south. It also agrees with the zonal distribution of metasedimentary rocks and the predominant orientation of S1 regional foliation. The next one strikes NS and dips east or west. Considering the controlling factor of the geochemical uranium anormal zone in the Shinbo mine and its eastern areas from the above structural data. the uranium source rock in these areas might be pegmatite and the geochemical uranium anormal zone in the Sinbo mine area could be formed by an secondary enrichment through the flow of pegmatite aquifer's groundwater into the Sinbo mine area like the previous research's result.

울산단층대 동변인 경북 경주시 마동 탑골 부근에 발달하는 제4기단층을 기재한다. 이 단층(이후 탑골단층)은 제3기초의 화강암과 제4기의 하성 사력층의 경계부 부근에서 여러 조의 단층들이 단층대를 이루며, 북북서 내지 남-북의 주향에 동측으로 $20^{circ}{\;}~45^{\circ}$ 의 경사를 보인다. 이 단층대는 서측으로부터 제4기 사력층 내의 역단층 3조와 제4기층을 화강암과 이를 부정합으로 덮는 제4기층이 올라탄 역단층 1조로 구별되며, 복합적인 역단층성 단층대의 양상을 보인다. 단층조선은 남동 방향($125^{\circ}$)으로 $20^{\circ}$ 침강한다. 이는 남동-북서 압축에 기인한 역단층성운동에 의해 생성된 것으로 보인다. 이 단층대는 불국사 일원에서 이미 알려진, 보다 서편에 발달하는 북서-남동 방향의 제4기단층선과는 다른 또 하나의 제4기단층선으로 확인된다.

경기육괴 서남부에 위치한 홍성지역의 기반암은 선캠브리아 화강암질 편마암으로 이루어진 것으로 알려져 왔으나, 적어도 일부는 신원생대(약820 Ma) 시기에 관입한 토날라이트질 심성암체로 구성된다. 토날라이트의 주 구성광물은 석영, 사장석, 흑운모, 각섬석이며, 저어콘, 스핀, 녹니석, 인회석 등이 소량으로 산출한다. 이 연구에서는 야외 및 미세구조 관찰을 통해, 홍성 화강암질암에서 나타나는 구조적 요소들이 화성기원임을 보고한다. 홍성 토날라이트에서 관찰되는 구조들이 화성기원인 증거는: (1) 엽리가 연속성이 부족하고 주향과 경사가 불규칙하며, 드물게는 사층리처럼 보이기도 한다. (2) 자형 내지 반자형의 장석과 각섬석이 엽리면에 평행 또는 준평행하게 배열되어 있으며, 반정 주변에는 음영대(pressure shadow)가 발달하지 않는다 (3) 고철질 포획체(mafic enclave)는 주변암의 엽리에 평행하게 신장되어 있고, 완전히 고화 되지 않은 상태에서 형성되는 불꽃 구조(flame structure)가 드물게 관찰된다. (4) 고철질 포획체의 주 구성광물인 흑운모와 각섬석은 주변암의 엽리와 평행하게 배열되어 있으나, 소성변형의 증거를 보이지 않는다. 홍성 토날라이트에서 관찰되는 모든 조직들이 화성기원이라고 주장하기는 어렵지만, 모두 고체상태에서의 변형작용으로 설명하기는 더욱 힘들다. 후자가 화성기원의 조직에 어느 정도 영향을 주었는지는 추후의 연구를 통해 밝혀져야 할 것이다.

We analyzed the Coulomb stress transfer near a small-scale reverse fault. For the modeling we used the geometry of a Quaternary fault in Gyeongju area, Eupcheon fault. For an assumed reverse faulting slip of 10cm, the resulting values of the Coulomb stress change are relatively higher (>2 bar) near the edges (both downward and lateral) of the fault, and diminish slightly upward and downward. The equivalents are negative in the zone immediately below and above the fault, exhibiting a "T" shape of low stress zone in the vertical profile of the fault. This study demonstrates the possible ranges and directions the aftershock energy would propagates after a reverse faulting.

The focal mechanism of the Hongsung Earthquake (1978. Oct. 7, M$_L$=5.0, Latitude 36.62N, Longitude 1 26.67E) was evaulated using the polarity distribution of the P-Waveforms. Through the non-linear computer process, the compatibility of polarity distributions of the 9 P-Waveforms observed at teleseismic distances from the Hongsung Earthquake epicenter was investigated to those of the focal mechanism determined from the varying strike, dip and rake angles. The resultant values for the strike and dip angle of the principal fault plane, which apparently matches very well the sunface lineament of the Hongsung region, are determined to be about 247 degree and 78 degree with uncertainties, respectively. However, the rake angle of the focal mechanism has wide range of 40 degree to 160 degree, which is mainly due to the poor coverage of the azimuthal angle of the observed seismic stations. Due to the consistency of principal stress axes, the resultant focal mechanism could support the current stress regime of that region, which may be caused by subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Eurasia Plate along the Japan Trench. It also provides information of seismic source characteristics of the part of the Korean Peninsula for aseismic design criteria such as Site Specific Response Spectrum and Strong Ground Motion Time History for the nuclear power plants and related nuclear waste disposal facility sites.

Moryang Fault is geomorphologically observed as a linear fault valley from Angang through Moryang, Duckhyun and Wondong to Gimhae, and contacts with Yangsan Fault, being obliquely away to the east, at Angang disrict. The fault valley appears a V-shape feature with a width from 100 to 300 m, and has fragmental zones of the fault along the valley on a small scale. Nine fault-outcrop localities were found along the nine-kilometers valley between Daehyun-ri, Gyeongju, and Baenaemi-gogae, Yangdong-ri, Ulsan. The fault strikes the North-North-East to the Northeast and dips to the Northwest with high angles, and reveals it had been undergone predominantly sinistral reverse fault movement sense, left-lateral and right-lateral strike-slip sense in bedrocks. However, after unconsolidated sediments, there was the top-up-to-the-east dextral reverse fault movement.

Logic trees for probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment include numerous variables to take various uncertainty on earthquake generation into consideration. Results from the hazard assessment vary in different way as more variables are considered in the logic tree. This study is conducted to estimate the effects of various scaling laws and fault parameters on tsunami hazard at the nearshore of Busan. Active fault parameters, such as strike angle, dip angle and asperity, are adjusted in the modelling of tsunami propagation, and the numerical results are used in the sensitivity analysis. The influence of strike angle to tsunami hazard is not as much significant as it is expected, instead, dip angle and asperity show a considerable impact to tsunami hazard assessment. It is shown that the dip angle and the asperity which determine the initial wave form are more important than the strike angle for the assessment of tsunami hazard in the East Sea.

The Dongnae Fault in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsular is not a single fault but a complex fault zone composed of numerous minor faults. In order to deduce the paleostress tensor evolving the Dongnae Fault, we measured 329 faults in outcrops around the fault zone and analyzed the geometries of them. Most of them are steeply dipping(>65˚) and fall into three groups striking N10E, N30E and N70E. More than one half of them show the rakes less than 30˚ Paleostress tensor analysis using the collected fault data has been conducted with the Angelier's direct inversion method and the Choi's method. As result, four different principal paleostress axes each of which subtends an independent tectonic event are found. They are; (1) NNE-SSW compression and ESE-WNW extension (Event I), (2) NNE-SSW extension (Event II), (3) ESE-WNW extension (Event III) and (4) ENE-WSW compression and NNW-SSE extension (Event IV) in chronology. Therefore, the tectonic movement around the Dongnae Fault was firstly governed by strike-slip faulting related to Event I. Afterward, normal faults were formed by Event II and Event III. Finally, the dextral strike-slip faults along the major trace of the Dongnae Fault were formed in NNE direction related to Event IV.
