In performing a risk analysis on structure for earthquake, it is imperative to identify the vulnerability of structures associated with various stages of damage. And the earthquake resisting capability is needed for structures like bridge. So the damage analysis of bridges with or without isolator for earthquake effects is necessary. In this paper, the risk analysis of seismic isolated LRB bridges considering earthquake effects such as PGA, PGV, SA, SV, and SI is performed using fragility curves to assure the earthquake resisting capability of the structures. And, the stability of fragility curve is investigated with respect to input earthquake.

This study presents an evaluation method to estimate the damage scale of chemical storage tank of petrochemical plant due to the earthquake that is likely to occur among NaTech damage types. Based on this, the risk for damage reduction of chemical storage tanks was evaluated. As a result of the study, the risk of the storage tank increased greatly considering the earthquake, and the risk was greatly reduced as a result of evaluating the proposed measures to mitigate the damage impact on the earthquake. This study is expected to contribute to the research on the reduction of NaTech damages such as typhoons and thunderstorms as well as earthquakes, and to establish an emergency response plan. In the future, it is necessary to systematically study and institutionalize the risk reduction measures considering earthquakes.

In this study, the evaluation to probability of failure for risk assessment of port structures on DCM reinforced soils, where stability and risk assessment are increasing in importance, was performed. As a random variables affecting the risk of DCM improved ground, the design strength, superposition (overlap) of construction, strength of the natural ground, internal friction angle and unit weight of the modified ground were selected and applied to the risk assessment. In addition, the failure probability for the entire system under ordinary conditions and under earthquake conditions were analyzed. As a result, it was found that the highest coefficient of variation in the random variable for the risk assessment of the DCM improved ground is the design strength, but this does not have a great influence on the safety factor, ie, the risk of the system. The main risk factor for the failure probability of the system for the DCM reinforced soils was evaluated as horizontal sliding in case of external stability and compression failure in case of internal stability both at ordinary condition and earthquake condition. In addition, the failure probability for ordinary horizontal sliding is higher than that for earthquake failure, and the failure probability for ordinary compression failure is lower than that for earthquake failure. The ordinary failure probability of the entire system is similar to the failure probability on earthquake condition, but in this case, the risk of earthquake is somewhat higher.

A probabilistic seismic risk in the Korean Peninsula is calculated from the instrumental eaathquake data. For the purpose, an instrumental earthquake catalogue since 1905 m which parameters are readjusted to have uniformity and homogeneity in description is cornpiled through the review of all available data. The maximum potential earthquake expected in the Korean Peninsula for 100, 1000, and 4000 years are estimated to be 6.3, 7.2 and 7.8 in magnitude, respectively, from Gumbel's extreme value theory. In addition, contour rnaps representing the maximum ground acceleration expected for 100 and 1000 years are prepared using the return period method. Seismic hazart] curves in which maximum ground acceleration expressed in terms of probability of occurrence are also presented for the major populated areas.

The risk of offshore wind turbine support structures by scour has been proposed. The proposed utilize probabilities of scour depths and fragilities according to scour depth and a modification of a seismic risk analysis method. The probability distribution of scour depth was calculated using a equation which is suitable to consider marine environmental conditions such as significant wave height, significant period, and current velocity, and dynamic analysis was performed on an offshore wind turbine equipped with an suction bucket to find fragility. Then, the risk of offshore wind turbine support structure considering scour can be found by integrating the scour probability and the fragility.

Ground shaking recorded during the January 20, 2007, $M_L$ 4.8 Odaesan earthquake (Korea) were used to investigate the role of the crustal structure in producing a strong ground motion, which includes the identification of the phases responsible for the strong ground motion and their implications for seismic hazard assessment. Analyses of strong-motion data together with waveform simulation revealed that critical and post-critical reflections from the crust-mantle boundary are responsible for the abnormal ground motions. This result demonstrates that the crustal structure should be taken into consideration in studies of seismic hazard mitigation even in the areas of relatively low seismicity.

본 연구에서는 최근 기상이변의 영향 및 지진 발생과 저수지 노후화 등으로 지속적으로 발생되고 있는 소규모 저수지 붕괴에 의한 재해 위험성을 경감하고자 댐 저수지 EAP 수립 기준 이하 소규모 저수지를 대상으로 EAP 수립 대상여부를 판단할 선정지표를 개발하였다. 기존의 EAP 수립지침 검토, 과거 붕괴사례 분석, 관련분야 선행 연구 등을 분석하여 저수용량, 제체높이, 경과연수, 호우인자 및 지진인자를 포함하는 5개 선정지표를 정량화 하여 제시하므로 실무적용을 용이하게 하고자 하였다. 또한 개발된 선정지표는 EAP 수립 기준 이하 소규모 저수지에 적용하기에 앞서 각 선정 지표별 저수지 붕괴와의 연관성을 파악하기 위해 과거 저수지 붕괴사례에 단일지표 및 지표간 중첩도를 파악해 보았다. 그 결과, 지진인자, 호우인자, 지진 및 호우인자, 경과연수 지표순 순으로 저수지 붕괴와 높은 연관성을 나타내어, 소규모 저수지 붕괴에 연관되는 주요 지표를 지진인자, 호우인자, 경과연수로 선정하였다. 본 연구에서 선정된 지표간의 중첩정도를 파악하기 위해 과거 저수지 붕괴사례에 적용해 본 결과 호우인자+지진인자가 가장 높은 중첩도를 나타났다. 다음으로 본 연구를 통해 도출된 EAP 수립 대상 선정지표 중 주요 지표인 지진인자, 호우인자, 경과연수를 대상으로 2개의 지표가 중첩될 경우와 3개의 지표가 중첩될 경우를 EAP 수립 대상 관찰그룹과 검토그룹의 각각 분류한 후 이를 재해위험 저수지(MOIS, 2016)에 적용하여 보았다. 그 결과, EAP 수립 대상 관찰그룹에 속하는 경우가 38.5%를 차지하였고, 검토그룹에 속하는 경우가 11.9%를 차지하였다. EAP 수립 대상 관찰그룹에 해당하는 저수지에 대해서는 전문 시설관리자에 의한 주기적 점검 및 계측기 설치를 통한 모니터링 실시 등으로 세심한 시설물 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단되며, EAP 수립 대상 검토그룹에 해당하는 저수지에 대해서는 제체 하류부 구간의 주민 거주 현황, 경작지, 축사 등 재산 현황 및 EAP 수립에 소요되는 예산 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 저수지 관리기관에서 최종적으로 EAP 수립 여부를 결정하여 잠재적인 피해 발생을 사전에 저감시켜야 하겠다. 본 연구의 결과는 기존의 EAP 수립 기준의 보완책으로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Seismic risk assessment of railway bridges is an important issue for a transportation network, because loss of functionality of railway bridges could result in severe disruption of the railway line, as no redundant routing systems generally exist. Although many studies have been conducted by numerous researchers regarding fragility analyses of bridge structure, little or no studies have been done for fragility analyses of a class of bridge structures considering their geometric variability. This study performs a fragility analysis for Track-on Steel-Plate-Girder (TOSPG) railway bridges in Korea considering their span variability. Seismic fragility curves are developed for a series of bridges with different spans varying from 2 to 15. At last, the fragility curves for the whole TOSPG bridges in Korea are also developed using the total probability theorem. This study is expected to effectively contribute to the seismic risk assessment of railway lines, where a number of bridges are present.
