  • The seismicity of the Korean Peninsula shows a very irregular pattern of strain release typical of the intraplate seismicity. The Korean Peninsula may be divided into several tectonic provinces of differing tectonics. In this analysis, seismicity parameters for each tectonic province are evaluated from historical as well as instrumental earthquake data of the Korean Peninsula to examine the differences in seismic characteristics among tectonic provinces. Statistical analysis of the earthquake data made of incomplete data before the Choseon Dynasty and complete data afterwards reveals that there exist no significant differences in seismic characteristics between the tectonic provinces. It turns out the b-value in the intensity-frequency relation for the whole peninsula is about 0.6 and the maximum earthquake is about MMI X. The results of this study may be used in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of the Korean Peninsula and in estimating the design earthquake in earthquake engineering.

  • Amplication factor spectrum, using the observed strong ground motions database, has been obtained and compared with Standard Response Spectrum. The observed ground motions from the Miramichi, Nohanni, Sagueray and New Madrid Earthquake (19 vertical components, 36 horizontal components), which are estimated to represent domestic seismotectonic characteristics such as seismic sources, attenuation, and site effect, are used for the analysis of amplification factor spectrum. Amplication factors have been calculated by comparing the observed peak ground motions with results form responses to the observed horizontal and vertical ground motions. The comparison shows that the amplification factors resultant from this study exceed those of Standard Response Spectrum of relatively higher frequencies. The result implles that the characteristics of the seismic strong ground motion, which may represent the domestic seismotectonic characteristics differ from of standard Response Spectrum, especillay of higher frequencies.

  • 본 연구에서는 서기 2년부터 1977년까지 남.북한 역사지진(A.D 2-1904)과 초기 계기 지진(1905-1977) 목록을 이용하여 남한 지진 규모로 재조정된 지진목록을 작성하였다 역사 지진은 과거의 협소한 인구분포로 인해 지진 기록의 누락이 많앗다 지진 위험도를 작성하기 위해 지진 발생분포와 지체구조의 특성을 고려하여 4개의 지진구(seismic province)를 설정하였다. 각 지진구에서 최대 잠재 지진결정은 Gumbel의 최대치 이론을 이용하였다 제 1수정 점근 함수 분포에서 유한 상한 값(finte upper boundary) 의 존재는 각 지진구에서 발생할 최대 잠재 지진의 진원(source)이 유한하다는 사실과 잘 일치한다. 따라서 이를 근거로 각 지진구에서 10년 , 20년, 30년, 50년 이내에 2% 5% 10% 초과 확률을 갖는 최대 규모지진을 추정하였다 또한 각 지진구에서 유한 지진원은 과거에 발생했던 큰 규모의 특정 지진과 지진 지체구조 정보에 근거하여 결정하였다. 연구결과 조선시대(1392-1904) 의 지진위험도에서는 경주 울산지역과 서울과 평양지역을 따라 높은지반 가속도 값을 보이며 경주지역에서 0.24g의 최대 지반 가속도 값으로 나타났다 계기 지진목록(1905-1998)을 이용한 한반도의 지진 위험도에서는 경주, 울산, 대구 지역에서 0.10-0.12g 의 최대 지반가속도 값을 보였다. 그리고 계기 지진 목록(1905-1998) 만을 이용하여 작성한 서울.경기 지역의 지진 위험도에서는 김포, 잠실 , 성남 지역의 한강을 따라 분포하는 충적층과 강남지역의 지반 운동이 한강 이북의 대보 화강암 지역에 비해 비교적 높은 0.09-0.10g의 지반 가속도를 보이는 것이 특징이다.

  • This study is to analyze the sensitivity for the parameters (a and b values, $M_{max}$, attenuation formula, and seismo-tectonic model) which are essential for the seismic hazard map. The values of each parameter were suggested by 10 members of the expert group. The results show that PGA increases as a value and $M_{max}$ become larger and as b value smaller. Big impact on the seismic hazard is observed for attenuation formula, a and b values although there is little impact on $M_{max}$ and seismo-tectonic model. These parameters with big impact require careful consideration for obtaining adequate values that well reflects the seismic characteristics of the Korean peninsula.

  • Since the Northridge earthquake in 1994 and the Kobe earthquake in 1995 occurred, the concept of performance based design has been introduced for designing various kinds of important structures and buildings. Uniform hazard spectra (UHS), with annual exceedance probabilities, corresponding to the performance level of each structure, are required for performance-based design. The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis was performed using spectral ground motion prediction equations, which were developed from both Korean Peninsula and Central and Eastern US region, and several seismotectonic models suggested by 10 expert panel members in seismology and tectonics. The uniform hazard spectra for 5 highly populated cities in Korea, with recurrence period of 500, 1,000, and 2,500 years using the seismic hazard at the frequencies of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0 Hz and Peak ground acceleration (PGA) were analyzed using the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. The sensitivity analysis suggests that spectral ground motion prediction equations impact much more on seismic hazard than what seismotectonic models do. The uniform hazard spectra commonly showed a maximum hazard at the frequency of 10 Hz and also showed the similar shape characteristics to the previous study and related technical guides to nuclear facilities.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate compatability of seismic source characteristics of the Kern County earthquake to those of Korean Peninsula seismotectonics. The compatability could be used to make Korean type response spectrum from the strong ground motions observed from the assingned earthquake. The July 21, 1952, Kern County, California, earthquake is the largest earthquake to occur in the western U.S. since 1906, and the repeat of this event poses a significant seismic hazard. The Kern County event was a complex thrusting event, with a surface rupture pattern that varied from pure leftlateral strike-slip to pure dip-slip. A time dependent moment tensor inversion was applied to ten observed teleseismic long-period body waves to investigate the source complexity. Since a conventional moment tensor inversion(constant geometry through time) returns a non-double-couple source when the seismic source changes(fault orientation and direction of slip) with time, we are required to use the time dependent moment tensor which allows a first-order mapping of the geometric and temporal complexity. From the moment tensor inversion, a two-point seismic source model with significant overlap for the White Wolf fault, which propagates upward(20 km to 5 km) from SW to NE, fits most of the observed seismic waveforms in the least squares sense. Comparison of P, T and B axes of focal mechanisms and focal depths suggests that seismic source characteristics of the Kern County earthquake is consistant with those of Korean Peninsula Seismotectonics.

  • Seismicity of the Korean Peninsula shows intraplate seismicity that has irregular pattern in both time and space. Seismic data of the Korean peninsula consists of historical earthquakes and instrumental earthquakes. In this study we devide these data into complete part and incomplete part and considering earthquake size uncertainty estimate seismic hazard parameters - activity rate λ, b value of Gutenberg-Richter relation and maximum possible earthquake IMAX by statistical method in each major tectonic provinces. These estimated values are expected to be important input parameters in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and evaluation of design earthquake.

  • Since the Northridge earthquake (1994) and Kobe earthquake (1995), the concept of performance-based design has been actively introduced to design major structures and buildings. Recently, the seismic design code was established for fire protection facilities. Therefore, the important fire protection facilities should be designed and constructed according to the seismic design code. Accordingly, uniform hazard spectra (UHS), with annual exceedance probabilities, corresponding to the performance level, such as operational, immediate occupancy, life safety, and collapse prevention, are required for performance-based design. Using the method of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), the uniform hazard spectra for 5 major cities in Korea with a recurrence period of 500, 1,000, and 2,500 years corresponding to frequencies of (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0)Hz and PGA, were analyzed. The expert panel was comprised of 10 members in seismology and tectonics. The ground motion prediction equations and several seismo tectonic models suggested by 10 expert panel members in seismology and tectonics were used as the input data for uniform hazard spectrum analysis. According to sensitivity analysis, the parameter of spectral ground motion prediction equations has a greater impact on the seismic hazard than seismotectonic models. The resulting uniform hazard spectra showed maximum values of the seismic hazard at a frequency of 10Hz and also showed the shape characteristics, which are similar to previous studies and related technical guides for nuclear facilities.

  • The seismic source parameters of the Uljin earthquake on 29 May 2004, including focal depth, focal mechanism, magnitude, and moment tensor elements for source characteristics, are analysed using moment tensor seismic source inversion. The Green‘s function for 3 crust models representing the southern Korean Peninsula are used. Also 3 kinds of epicenters are used to find optimum solution for seismic source parameters. Results show that seismic source parameters have a little dependency of azimuthal distribution and epicentral distances of seismic stations. Final results show that the event, considering 6 moment tensor elements, is caused by the typical reverse fault with nearly NS strike. The focal mechanism implies that the tectonic force around epicenter area currently has compressive environment, with nearly EW principal axis. The focal depth is estimated to be about 12km. The resultant focal mechanism show fairly good agreement to those of other studies. However, focal depth is much different from that of other studies.

  • A study for analysing the characteristics of the 'Tsunami Earthquake' and 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' has been done in terms of stress drop and tectonic characteristics using previous studies on magnitude, moment, energy, and length of fault. The 'Tsunami Earthquake' seemed to occur mainly on the subduction environment with a very low stress drop of about 10 bars and a thrust dip angle comparing those of the 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' or other earthquakes. Released energy to moment ratio of the 'Tsunami Earthquake' also seemed to be lower. Earthquakes which generated tsunami in the East Sea seemed to be 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' with a stress drop of about 30${\sim}$50 bars, and an average energy to moment ratio. Hence, stress drop, energy to moment ratio, and thrust dip angle seem to be indicators of earthquakes that produce tsunamis.
