우리나라도 지진에 대한 안전지역이라고 할 수 없다. 최근 2~3년 사이에 지진의 빈도가 급격히 늘어나고 있으며 과거 지진기록을 토대로 조사한 바에 의하면 규모 7.0이상의 지진이 발생한 경우도 있다. 최근 50년 동안에도 지리산 지진, 속리산 지진, 평양 앞바다의 황해 지진, 1978년 10월 7일에 발생한 홍성 지진의 경우 규모 5.0이상의 강도가 큰 지진이었고 최근에 들어와 국내 지진 횟수가 크게 늘어나고 또한 이와 같은 지진이 향후 대도시와 주요시설이 밀집이 지역에서 발생될 경우 우리나라와 같이 내진대책이 특별히 없는 경우는 그 피해가 막대할 것이다.

After the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, it has been pointed out that Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai massive earthquakes with a magnitude of 9.0 could strike the Pacific coasts in western Japan. This study aims at investigating numerically propagation characteristics of tsunami generated by a 9.0 magnitude Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai massive earthquakes on the Pacific coasts and three major bays in Japan, Tokyo Bay, Ise Bay and Osaka Bay. It was revealed from the numerical results that the tsunami heights on the Pacific coasts for M9.0 earthquake were about twice as much as those for M8.7 earthquake and the first tsunami arrival time was faster at some areas distant from the tsunami source. Moreover, high water level in the bays was recognized to continue for a long time because of the enclosed bays.

Minimum magnitudes $(M_c)$ for estimation of seismicity parameters were analyzed for the earthquake catalog of Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA). The temporal variation of earthquake frequency suggests that a proper $M_c$ be 3.0 for the whole southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The b-value with $M_c$ of 3.0 is estimated to be 1.11, which is larger than those of the previous studies. To see the spatial variation of $M_c$, the southern part of the peninsula were divided into grids of $0.1{\times}0.1$ degree. At the greater portion of grid points, the local earthquake catalogs do not satisfy given statistical criteria. The grid points whose local earthquake catalogs meet the criteria mostly distribute in the eastern part. $M_c$ at these points range 2.4 to 3.5 and b values range 0.75 to 1.73 with the average of 1.08 which is comparable to that for the whole southern part of the peninsula.

2011년 동일본 대지진으로 발생된 지진해일로 인해 막대한 경제적 손실과 인명피해가 발생하였고, 2차적 사회적 피해가 지속되고 있다. 또한 국내에서도 최근 경주와 포항지역에서 지진이 발생하여 피해가 발생함에 따라 재난의 불확실성에 대한 대비의 중요성이 강조되고 있고, 과거 안전하다고 했던 재난에 대한 위험성에 대해 국민들의 관심이 증대되었다. 피해사례가 2차례 있는 지진해일의 경우도 동일본 대지진 이후로 전 세계적으로 해일에 대한 위험성이 재평가되고 있다. 지진해일은 해저에서 발생하는 지진에 의한 것으로 발생지점 및 강도 등을 예측하기가 쉽지 않으므로, 지진발생에 대한 가상 시나리오를 이용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 가상 시나리오를 활용하여 현재까지 많은 침수예상도가 제작되었으나, 다양한 시나리오 대해서 검토되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과학적 보간법을 이용하여 수치모형을 수행하지 않고 기수행된 연구 DB를 활용하여 지진해일 피해를 예측하는 기술을 개발하였다. 연구 DB는 국립재난안전연구원에서 수행된 지진해일 자료를 활용하였고, 전국단위를 기반으로 지진규모 7.0~9.0 내에 지진해일을 유발하는 지진에 대해 지진해일의 피해를 예측할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 기술을 검증하기 위해 5개의 진원지에 대하여 과거 발생 지진규모부터 극한의 지진규모를 가정한 수치모의 결과와 본 연구의 결과를 비교하였다. 본 연구는 격자 1km인 광역모형의 모의결과를 활용하였으므로 실제로 해안지역의 침수양상의 정확도가 높지 않지만 향후 고정밀 공간해상도에 대하여 모의를 수행한다면 지진해일로 발생하는 범람 및 침수를 보다 정밀하게 예측할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

과거에 경험하지 못한 집중호우가 빈번하게 발생하고 규모가 큰 태풍의 내습이 발생하고 있다. 2018년 7월23일 발생한 라오스 댐붕괴 발생으로 인해 6,600명의 이재민이 발생하였으며, 2008년 중국 쓰촨성 지진에 의해 댐 수백개가 균열이 발생하는 위험한 상황에 이르는 등 댐 붕괴에 따른 대규모 재난의 위험상황은 항시 존재하고 있다. 는 상황에서 댐의 붕괴에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 이러한 댐 붕괴 상황에 대한 대비책으로 저수지 댐의 안전관리 및 재해예방에 관한 법률 제3조와 자연재해 대책법 제37조에 총저수용량 30만톤 이상의 저수지에 대해 비상대처계획 수립을 하도록 되어 있다. 최근 경주와 포항에서 발생한 규모 5.4이상의 지진이 발생하여 지진에 의한 재난의 위험이 가중되고 있는 상황에서 지진에 의한 댐붕괴에 대한 적절한 시나리오와 분석이 필요하다. 지금까지의 지진붕괴에 의한 EAP의 작성은 단순히 만수위 상태에서 댐의 붕괴시간이 급격히 붕괴되어 범람되는 분석을 하였다. 그러나 지진에 의한 댐의 붕괴에 이르는 지진의 규모는 댐 주변의 건축물, 교량, 심지어 대피소도 붕괴 및 범람에 안전할 수 없는 상황에 이르게 될 것이다. 그러나 현재의 EAP는 단순 범람만을 통해 위험도를 나타내는 것으로 작성되어 있어 이에 대한 수정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지진에 의한 댐 붕괴 EAP 작성시 고려되어야 할 건물의 노후도, 교량, 공공시설물 등이 붕괴될 위험을 판단하고 이에 따른 범람도면의 작성과 시나리오가 작성되어야 한다. 이를 위한 행정안전부에서 제시된 지진 시 댐 붕괴 조건에서 고려되어야 할 시나리오의 구성요소에 대해 검토하였다.

In this study, 28 earthquake records with magnitudes from 5.3 to 7.9 are selected for dynamic analysis in order to assess applicability of the earthquakes for domestic seismic design. The assessment is performed using the seismic spectrum analysis of energy and acceleration. Based on results of the analysis, four acceleration time histories, which satisfy the Korean design standard response spectrum, are proposed. From the dynamic analysis using earthquake magnitudes from 6.4 to 7.9, it is found that horizontal displacements corresponding to earthquake magnitudes greater than 7 are two times larger than those with magnitude 6.5. Therefore, it can be stated that use of strong earthquakes, such as Miyagiken-ken-oki earthquake (Ofunato, $M_{JMA}=7.4$) and Tokachi-oki earthquake (Hachinohe, $M_{JMA}=7.9$), for the seismic design in Korea is not applicable, and may prove to be excessively conservative due to overestimated seismic force. From the dynamic analyses using the proposed acceleration time histories, effects of caisson quay wall dimension and the subsoil condition are investigated as well. The simplified design charts to evaluate horizontal displacements of caisson quay wall are also proposed based on earthquake magnitude 6.5 that is appropriate in Korea.

Based on Trifuilac's empirical model to transform earthquake acceleration time history in the time domain into Fourier amplitude spectrum in the frequency domail an earthquake scaling technique for simulating the earthquake record of certain magnitude as the required magnitude earthquake was suggested. Also, using the earthquake record of magni dude(M) 5.8, the simulated earthquake of magnitude(M) 8.0 was established and its application to dynamic testing system was proposed. The earthquake scaling technique could be considered by several terms : earthquake magnitude(M), earthquake intensity(MMI), epicentral distance, recording site conditions, component direction and confidence level required by the analysis. Albo, it had an application to the various earthquake records. The simulated earthquake in this study was established by two orthogonal horizontal components of earthquake acceleration-time history. The simulated earthquake shaking could be applied to the dynamic pile load test for the model tension pile and the model compressive open -ended piles driven into the pressure chamber. In the static pile load test, behavior of two piles was very different and after model tension pile experienced 2 or 3 successive slips of the pile relative to the soil, it was failed completely. During the simulated earthquake shaking, dynamic behavior and pile capacity degradation of two piles were very different.

We detected the coseismic ionospheric disturbance generated by the earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 and greater in Korean Peninsula. We considered the seismic events such as Gyeongju earthquake in September 2016 with magnitude 5.8, the Pohang earthquake in November 2017 with magnitude 5.4, and the underground nuclear explosion from North Korea in September 2017 with magnitude 5.7. Although all GPS stations were not detected, the ionospheric disturbance induced by these earthquakes occurred approximately 10-30 minutes and 40-60 minutes after the events. We inferred that the time difference within each variation is due to the different focal depth and the geometry of epicenter, satellite, and GPS station. In the case of the Gyeongju earthquake, the earthquake had relatively deeper depth than the other earthquakes. However, the seismic magnitude was bigger and it occurred at nighttime when the ionospheric activity was stable. So we could observe such anomalous variations. It is considered that the ionospheric disturbance caused by the difference in velocity of the upward propagating waves generated by earthquake appears more than once. Our results indicate that the detection of ionospheric disturbances varies depending on the geometry of the GPS station, satellite, and epicenter or the detection method and that the apparent growth of amplitude in the time series varies depending on the focal depth or the site-satellite-epicenter geometry.

Until recently lots of time-history seismic analyses were performed with the earthquake motions recorded at the soft soil surface without taking into account the effects of the soft soil amplification. However, it is important to utilize the bedrock seismic motions for the rational seismic analyses of a structure considering the site soil conditions. In this study, 26 bedrock earthquake records were selected from publicly available 1557 seismic records provided by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) for the study, and the characteristics of them were investigated. Study results showed that it is not reasonable to estimate earthquake acceleration intensity from the magnitude of an earthquake without considering the site soil conditions and it is also hard to draw any general relationships between earthquake acceleration intensity, earthquake magnitude and epicenter distance with bedrock earthquake records in the PEER database. However, 26 bedrock earthquake records selected in this study can be utilized for the time-history seismic analyses of a structure-soil system as bedrock earthquake ones, and it is also confirmed that it is necessary to take into account acceleration intensity, magnitude, epicenter distance and site conditions simultaneously for the proper use of those selected earthquake records.

This study presents the seismic response characteristics of domestic cable-supported bridges due to 3 earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.1, 5.8, and 4.5 in Richter scale, which occurred around Gyeongju region in 2016. The seismic acceleration response signals, recorded by the seismic acceleration sensors at the free field near bridge and designated positions on bridge, are utilized to characterize the seismic responses of structural elements of cable-supported bridges. The dynamic behaviors of bridges are presented through Fourier transform of acceleration time history. Using the peak accelerations normalized by those at the free fields, amplification effects on the tops of the pylons are analyzed comparatively bridge by bridge. Using aforementioned analyses, the necessity of development on the creteria of alert levels is discussed for the earthquake disaster response of cable-supported bridges.
