This study presents a probabilistic analysis of the stability of homogeneous soil slopes during earthquakes. The stability of the slope is measured through its probability of failure rather than the customary factor of safety. The maximum horizontal ground acceleration is deterimined with Donovan and McGuire equation. The earthquake magnitude (m) is a random variable the Probability density function f(m) has been obtained with a use of Richter law. The potential failure surfaces are taken to be of an exponential shape (log-spiral) , Uncertainties of the shear strength parameters along potential failure surface are expressed by one-dimensional random field model. From a first order analysis the mean and variance of safety margin is osculated. The dependence on significant seismic parameters of the probability of failure of the slope is examined and the results are presented in a number of graphs and tables. On the base of the results obtained in this study, it is concluled that (1) the present model is useful in assessing the reliability of soil slopes under both static and seismic conditions: and (2) the probability of failure of a soil slope is greatly affected by the values of the seismic parameters that are associated with it.

The purpose of this study is to discuss how strength and ductility of each system in low-rise reinforced concrete buildings composed of extremely brittle, shear and flexural failure lateral-load resisting systems have influence on seismic capacities of the overall system, which is based on nonlinear seismic response analyses of single-degree-of-freedom structural systems. In order to simulate the triple lateral-load resisting system, structures are idealized as a parallel combination of two modified origin-oriented hysteretic models and a degrading trilinear hysteretic model that fail primarily in extremely brittle, shear and flexure, respectively. Stiffness properties of three models are varied in terms of story shear coefficients, and structures are subjected to various ground motion components. By analyzing these systems, interaction curves of demand strengths of the triple system for various levels of ductility factors are finally derived for practical purposes. The result indicates that demand strength levels derived can be used as a basic information for seismic evaluation and design criteria of low-rise reinforced concrete buildings having the triple lateral-load resisting system.

Purpose: The primery objecting of this paper is to explore the seismics fragility of curved bridge based on the change of girder section. Method: The cross section of the bridge structure was constructed with I, T, and Box shapes and then, in order to perform the seismic fragility 24 seismic ground motions were used, including Gyeongju Pohang Earthquake. Result: Fist, T-Shape of the bridge strucrue was much fragility in terms of the stress on girder section, in comparison to the other shapes. The seismic fragilies of the structures with respect to displacement(drift ratio), however, were shown simialr. Conclusion: In other to wvaluation the seismic fragility of curved structure using different girder shapes, analytical models of the structure were constructed and then, the probability failure of box-shape girder was shown lower probability. In further, Parametric studies of curved structures must be conducted.

In this study, we demonstrated the characteristics of the near-fault ground motion thatwas not considered in the domestic seismic design code and how the effect of the near-fault ground motion affects the response of cable-stayed bridges. Afterselecting the actual measurement records of the typical near- and far-fault ground motion, the characteristics of ground motion is analyzed using the elastic and inelastic response spectrum. Analyzing the response regarding the earthquake's characteristics on cable-stayed bridges by the typical three-type cable-stayed bridges and the actual cable-stayed bridge, the characteristics of responses about main members are compared and analyzed. Moreover,reliability analysis is accomplished using the results of the seismic response analysis, and the seismic safety of the cable-stayed bridges is evaluated quantitatively as a reliability index and probability of failure. According to the results of the response spectrum, the earthquake response analysis and the reliability analysis, because the effect of the near fault ground motion against the response of cable-stayed bridges is different from the effect of the existing far-fault ground motion, it should be considered as an important factor when designing cable-stayed bridges.

A method is presented for evaluating the economic efficiency of a semi-active magneto-rheological (MR) damper system for cable-stayed bridges under earthquake loadings. An optimal MR damper capacity maximizing the cost-effectiveness is estimated for various seismic characteristics of ground motion. The economic efficiency of MR damper system is addressed by introducing the life-cycle cost concept. To evaluate the expected damage cost, the probability of failure is estimated. The cost-effectiveness index is defined as the ratio of the sums of the expected damage costs and each device cost between a bridge structure with the MR damper system and a bridge structure with elastic bearings. In the evaluation of cost-effectiveness, the scale of damage cost is adopted as parametric variables. The results of the evaluation show that the MR damper system can be a cost-effective design alternative. The optical capacity of MR damper is increased as the seismic hazard becomes severe.

최근 증가하고 있는 자연재해 중 지진재해가 전체 재해에서 차지하는 비중은 상대적으로 적지만, 빈도와 강도가 증가하고 있으며, 대응하기 위한 예측 체계가 거의 없다는 것이 어려운 점이다. 일본의 후쿠오카 지진 이후 내진설계 기준이 강화되고 있으나 실제 지진발생시 최대가속도의 크기와 전파속도에 대한 이론적인 연구는 있었지만 국가적 차원의 자료 구축은 거의 없었다. 2005년 이후 소방방재청에서 지진방재종합개선기획단이 구성된 이후, 각 기관에 산재된 GIS 자료를 수집하여, 지진상황에 맞는 자료로 가공하고 프로그램으로 구현하게 되었다. anyguide라는 지리정보 시스템과 Java 어플리케이션으로 구성된 프로그램을 통하여 과거의 지진자료와 측정지점에 대한 정보를 구축하였으며, 실제 지진 발생시에 지자체에서 대응할 수 있는 경보시스템을 동시에 구축하였다. 2007년 2월에 발생한 평창 주변의 지진발생시 시스템이 작동하여 실제 shake map과 hazard map이 작성되었으며, 실제 인명과 건물 파괴 비율을 검증할 수 있었다. 이처럼 지진에 신속히 대응하기 위해서는 최단 시간내에 피해의 규모와 범위를 파악하여야 하고, 이에 따라서 적절한 대응 조치를 취해야 하는 점에서 지진재해대응 시스템은 그 활용 범위가 계속 확대될 것으로 예상된다.

지진해일은 대규모 인명피해는 물론 가공할만한 파괴력으로 해안시설물, 즉 원자력발전소, 항만시설물, 연안공항 등을 파괴시킬 수 있다. 따라서 해안에 국가기간시설물을 건설할 때는 반드시 급습 가능한 지진해일을 설정하여 예기치 못한 지진해일의 급습에 대하여 안전한가 여부를 검토해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 부산광역시에 건설 예정인 가덕도 신공항에 대하여 지진해일 급습 가능성을 예측한다. 기존의 수치모형을 이용하여 공항부지에 영향을 끼칠 가능성이 높은 지진해일을 설정하여 수치해석을 수행하고 안전 여부를 검토한다. 본 연구에서 고려된 지진해일은 기 발생한 역사 지진해일과 발생 가능한 지진해일, 즉 가상 지진해일 등이며, 수치모형은 우리나라에서 많이 사용되고 있는 전파모형과 범람모형인 HYCEL-NAMI와 HYCEL-RUNUP을 결합하여 사용한다.

In order to quantify the relationships of the important physical factors relating failure to strong earthquake loading, the plastic fatigue problems for structural components under repeated loading were reviewed first. A new concept of very low cycle fatigue failure for structural components under severe cyclic excitations as in strong earthquakes was represented. Also, an experimental study was made of the very low cycle fatigue failure of structural steel elements. It was attempted to realize the ultimate failure in the course of loading repetitions of the order of several to twenty. The test specimen had a form of rectangular plate, representing a thin-plated element in a steel member as wide-flange cross section. It was subjected to uniaxial loading repeatedly, until complete failure takes place after undergoing inelastic buckling, plastic elongation and/or their combination. It was seen as a result that the state of the ultimate failure is closely related to the maximum strain at the extreme fiber in the cross section.

The fault failure process with time difference affects the initial generation of waveforms of tsunamis, which consequently changes the runup height on the coast. To examine the effect of time difference in fault failure process on the runup height, a numerical simulation was conducted assuming a number of virtual subsea earthquakes in the west coast of Japan. Results revealed that maximum runup heights along the east coast of Korea were minimal when the subfaults were aligned parallel with the shoreline. Meanwhile, if they were located perpendicular to the shoreline, the superposition effect of the initial surface by each subfault was noticeable, resulting in an increase in maximum runup height on the coast.
