In this paper, we perform a numerical analysis to evaluate the potential of fault reactivation during gas production from hydrate bearing sediments and the moment magnitude of induced seismicity. For the numerical analysis, sequential coupling of TOUGH+Hydrate and FLAC3D was used and the change in effective stress and consequent geomechanical deformation including fault reactivation was simulated by assuming that Mohr-Coulomb shear resistance criterion is valid. From the test production simulation of 30 days, we showed that pore pressure reduction as well as effective stress change hardly induces the fault reactivation in the vicinity of a production well. We also investigated the influence of stress state conditions to a fault reactivation, and showed that normal fault stress regime, where vertical stress is relatively greater than horizontal, may have the largest potential for the reactivation. We tested one simulation that earthquake can be induced during gas production and calculated the moment magnitude of the seismicity. Our calculation presented that all the magnitudes from the calculation were negative values, which indicates that induced earthquakes can be grouped into micro-seismic and as small as hardly perceived by human beings. However, it should be noted that the current simulation was carried out using the highly simplified geometric model and assumptions such that the further simulations for a scheduled test production and commercial scale production considering complex geometric conditions may produce different results.

The Baegdusan volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in northeastern Asia, and the 10th century eruption was the most voluminous eruption in the world in recent 2,000 years. During the period from 2002 to 2005, volcanic earthquakes and abnormal surface distortions by suspected subsurface magma intrusion beneath the volcano were observed in the Baegdusan area. Seismic activity has gradually increased with earthquake swarms during 2002-2003 and hundreds of seismic event in a day, especially annual peak of 2,100 in 2003. Then the number of seismic activity has declined since 2006 to the background level in 1999-2001. According to the typical frequency of volcanic earthquakes in the Baegdusan volcano, the frequency distribution of typical volcanic earthquakes between 2002 and 2005 indicates that all the main frequency of the earthquakes basically falls down less than 5 Hz and 5-10 Hz. These events are all the VT-B and LP events caused by the shallow localized fracture and intrusion of magma. The horizontal displacement measurement by GPS during the period from 2000 to 2007 of the Baegdusan stratovolcano area indicates that an inflated process has been centered at the summit caldera since 2002. The displacement between 2002 and 2003 reached at a maximum value of 4 cm. After 2003, the deformation rate of the volcano continued to decrease with unusual variation during the period from 2006 to 2007. After 2003 the vertical displacement uplift rate falls down gradually but still keeps in an uplift trend in northern slope. It is generally believed that when $^3He/^4He(R)$ in a gas sample from a hot spring exceeds $^3He/^4He(R)$ in the atmosphere, it can be concluded that mantle-source. And temperatures of hot springs are rising steadily to $83^{\circ}C$. It is unrest signals at the Baegdusan, which is potentially active. The Baegdusan volcano is now in unrest status, there is eruption threat in the near future. Intensified monitoring and emergency response plan for volcanic risk mitigation are urgent for the volcano.

This paper presents hybrid structural damage monitoring system which performs both global damage assessment of structure and damage detection of local structural joints. Hybrid damage monitoring system is composed of vibration-based technique and electro/mechanic impedance technique. Vibration-based technique detects global characteristic change ot structure using modal characteristic change of structure, and electro/mechanical impedance technique detects damage existence of local structural joints using impedance change of PZT sensor. For the verification of the proposed hybrid monitoring system, a series of damage scenarios are designed to loosened bolts situations of the structural joints, and acceleration response and impedance response signatures are measured. The proposed hybrid monitoring system is implemented to monitor global damage-state and local damages in structural joints.

To a series of vibration records obtained from experimental modal testing using a fixed hammer and roving accelerometers for greenhouse arch structures, modal parameters such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes are extracted by applying the two most advanced system identification methods in the frequency-domain up to now, so-called PolyMAX and FDD. The former involves both input and output data, while the latter utilizes only the output data. The possibility of determining the static buckling load, detecting damages, etc., for very slender steel-pipe arches by means of a non-destructive testing method based on vibration measurements is primarily investigated. The extracted modal parameters generally correlated well with those obtained using finite element analysis, demonstrating promising results for further on-going research.

위성영상정보는 센서의 종류, 취득, 분석, 재난과 위성영상 특성 매칭 등의 제약으로 재난 상황에서 제한적으로 사용되었다. 일반적으로 인공위성의 종류는 탑재한 센서의 정보제공 능력 범위에 따라 분류 가능하며 이에 따라 대상 범위가 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 재난의 예측, 탐지, 사후처리를 위한 위성자료의 취득과 활용을 위해 다양한 위성과 탑재된 센서의 궤도, 공간 해상도, 파장대 등의 특성에 대하여 분석하고 재난유형별로 최적 위성영상을 선정하였다. 행정안전부에서는 재난과 재해의 유형을 자연재난(10종)과 사회재난(27종)으로 분류하였다. 위성영상 활용이 가능한 재난 유형은 가시적으로 확인이 가능한 자연재난에 해당하며 그 중 태풍, 홍수, 가뭄, 산불 등 총 4종의 재난유형별로 가용한 최적의 위성영상을 분석하였다. 재난관측에 사용 가능한 대표적인 탑재체의 종류는 극궤도 지구관측 위성에서 광학과 SAR로 구분할 수 있다. 각 기본 특성에 따라 제공되는 정보의 종류가 분류되며 광학 센서는 태양복사 및 지구복사에너지 파장 영역 중 가시광선-근적외선-단파적외선-열적외선 파장대 영역의 분광 정보를 제공할 수 있는 다중 밴드들로 구성된다. 지표의 특정 대상이나 물질을 탐지하고 변화를 감지·분석하는데 유용하여 홍수, 태풍, 지진 등 자연 및 사회 재난·재해 관측에 유용하게 이용된다. SAR 센서는 장파장의 전자기파를 방출한 후 돌아오는 신호를 활용하여 대상에 대한 정보를 획득한다. 대기의 효과 및 요소를 투과하는 주파수 대역별 장파장 밴드 정보를 활용하여 고해상도의 대상 표면, 위치, 형태 등의 정보를 측량 및 관측하므로 중·광역 지역에 제약 없이 영상정보를 획득할 수 있어 산사태, 홍수, 지진, 등의 재난 모니터링에 유용하다. 이러한 다종 위성별 센서들의 특징(공간 해상도, 파장대별 밴드 특성, 관측폭, 재방문 주기 등)들을 분석하여 재난유형별로 가용한 무료/상용 지구관측위성을 분류한 결과 태풍에는 광역관측, 정지궤도 위성, 홍수에는 광학 및 SAR 고해상도 위성, 가뭄은 광역관측, 다분광 광학 위성 그리고 산불에는 정지궤도, 광학, SAR 위성이 적합함을 알 수 있다.

Mechanical energy is accumulated in the object when stress is exerted on rock specimens, and the failure is occurred when the stress is larger than critical stress. The accumulated energy is emitted as various forms including physical deformation, light, heat and sound. Uniaxial compression strength test and point load strength test were carried out in low temperature environment, and thermal variation of rock specimens were observed and analyzed quantitatively using thermal infrared camera images. Temperature of failure plane was increased just before the failure because of concentration of stress, and was rapidly increased at the moment of the failure because of the emission of thermal energy. The variations of temperature were larger in diorite and basalt specimens which were strong and fresh than in tuff specimens which were weak and weathered. This study can be applied to prevent disasters in rock slope, tunnel and mine in cold regions and to analyze satellite image for predicting earthquake in cold regions.

This study analyzed lineaments and fault-related landforms in Chungcheongnam-do, central Korean Peninsula, based on historical and instrumental records, given its susceptibility to future earthquakes. We extracted 151 lineaments associated with fault-related landforms. In regions with the Dangjin and Yesan faults, lineaments with strikes matching these faults were densely distributed. Conversely, in the Hongseong Fault area, the number of lineaments was smaller, and those with strikes similar to the fault were less discernible. This is likely due to the extensive distribution of alluvium and surface deformation from long-term weathering, erosion, and cultivation, which obscures geomorphic evidence of faults. At five key fault points, we identified fault-related landforms, such as fault saddles, knickpoints in Quaternary alluvium, and linear valleys, along the lineament, which may indicate an actual fault. However, the displacements of the Quaternary layer within the lineaments appear to be influenced more by external factors, such as artificial disturbances (e.g., cultivation) or stream erosion, than by direct fault movement. The differences between the fault-related landforms in this study area and those in the southeastern Korean Peninsula suggest a specific relationship between fault types and their associated landforms.

At the present time, buildings are designed higher and more complex than ever before. Therefore the potential disasters are happened such as fire, power outage, earthquake, flood, hurricanes. Their disasters require people inside buildings to be evacuated as soon as possible. This paper presents a new disaster evacuation guidance concept of inner buildings, whiche aims at integrated the constructing of a sensor network and a guidance light networks in order to provide a quick detection of disasters and accurate evacuation guidance based on indoor geo-information, and sends these instructions to people. In this paper, we present the integrated logical model based on sensor and guidance light networks for the fire disaster management in inner building using our concept. And we verify proposed logical model according to experiments with visualization and operations on map.

The vibration monitoring system using the sensor network is used in various fields. However, in case of the vibration of the existing products, the size of the monitoring system is increased due to the separation of the sensor data collection function and the communication function. In this paper, we design and implement a lightweight vibration monitoring system using the MQTT protocol, which is oneM2M device standard protocol for the Arduino and Ethernet modules, to monitor frequent earthquakes and vibrations in narrow places.

무선 기기의 소형화와 무선 통신 기술의 발달, 그리고 센서의 환경 정보 측정 기술 및 센서 네트워크의 확산으로 홍수, 태풍, 지진, 환경 오염, 등 재난의 피해를 줄이고자 재해 방지 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그리고 이러한 재해는 특정한 시간에 특정 지점에만 발생하는 특징이 있으며, 이 발생 시간을 제외한 나머지 시간대에서는 정상적인 상황을 유지한다. 이와 같은 특성은 센서 네트워크 응용에서 센서의 배터리 전력 유지 및 환경 정보 획득 방법을 설계할 때, 주요한 사안으로 고려되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 센서의 전력소비를 줄이고 대기 오염에 대한 정보를 오염 발생 시간에 따라 적절히 획득하기 위하여, 대기 오염 방지 시스템에서의 센서 샘플링 주기 조정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 대기 오염의 현재와 가까운 미래의 상태를 기반으로 센서의 샘플링 주기가 변화하는 규칙과 경계, 가중치를 설정한다. 그리고 매 샘플링 주기마다 센서 데이터 값과 이전에 저장된 오염 레벨을 고려하여 다음 샘플링 주기를 갱신한다. 이렇게 변화하는 샘플링 주기로 인해 대기 오염 감지 시스템은 측정 데이터의 정확도와 센서의 배터리 전력 소비의 균현을 적절히 유지할 수 있다. 제안된 샘플링 주기 기법은 다양한 환경 감시 응용에 활용될 수 있다.
