지진해일은 해저지진, 화산활동, 해저 산사태 등에 의해 발생되는 장주기 파랑이다. 지진해일은 발생빈도가 낮지만, 한번 발생하면 많은 에너지가 연안으로 유입되어 인명 및 재산피해를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 과거 수십년동안 지진해일에 대한 연구는 지진해일의 역학관계를 이해하고, 이를 바탕으로 한 수치모델 개발에 초점을 두어 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 더욱이, 지진해일 실험적 연구는 많은 경제적 비용을 지불해야 하기에 수치모델개발 연구가 더욱 중점적으로 수행되어 왔다. 지리학적으로 우리나라는 지진해일에 안전하지 못하다. 하나의 예로, 1983년 5월 26일, 일본 서해안에서 발생한 지진해일은 동해로 전파되어 동해안 지역에 커다란 피해를 야기시켰다. 이 당시, 강원도삼척시 원덕읍에 위치한 임원항에서는 2명의 사상자와 2명의 부상자가 발생하였고, 당시 금액으로 약3억원의 재산피해가 발생하였다. 이 연구는 인공지능 기법 중 하나인 인공신경망을 이용하여 인명과 재산피해가 발생한 임원항에서 최대지진해일고를 예측하고자 하였다. 지진해일 수치모델은 뛰어난 정확도를 나타내는 반면, 결과를 산출하는데 상당한 시간을 필요로 한다. 이에 반해, 인공신경망은 수치모델과 유사한 정확도 및 결과를 신속하게 제공할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 지진해일 인공신경망 모델 개발은 지진의 단층파라미터를 바탕으로 작성된 지진해일의 시나리오를 토대로 연구가 진행되었고, 우리나라 동해에 위치한 외해 관측 지점의 지진해일고 자료를 통해, 임원항에서의 최대 지진해일고가 예측되도록 개발되었다. 이를 위하여, 인공신경망의 학습 및 검증 과정을 수행하였고, 향후 발생 가능한 다양한 지진해일에 대해 평가함으로써, 인공신경망 모델의 예측성능을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a simple seismic analysis model of the KALIMER-600 sodium-cooled fast reactor selected to be the candidate of the GEN-IV reactor is developed. By using this model, the seismic time history analysis is carried out to investigate the feasibilities of a seismic isolation design. The developed simple seismic analysis model includes the reactor building, reactor system,, IHTS piping system, steam generator, and seismic isolators. The dynamic characteristics of the simple seismic model are verified with the detailed 3-dimensional finite element analysis for each part of the KALIMER-600 system. By using the developed simple seismic model, the seismic time history analyses for both cases of a seismic isolation and non-isolation design are performed for the artificial time history of a SSE (Safe Shutdown Earthquake) 0.3g. From the comparison of the calculated floor response spectrum, it is verified that the seismically isolated KALIMER-600 reactor building shows a great performance of a seismic isolation and assures a seismic integrity.

A recent development, a concrete-filled steel(CFS) pier is an alternative to a reinforced concrete bridge pier in an urban area, because of its fast construction and excellent ductility against earthquakes. The capacity of CFS piers has not been used to a practical design, because there is no guide of a seismic design for CFS piers. Therefore, the guide of a seismic design value is derived from tests of CFS piers in order to apply it to a practical seismic design. Steel piers and concrete-filled steel piers are tested with constant axial load using quasi-static cyclic lateral load to check ductile capacity and using the real Kobe ground motion of pseudo-dynamic test to verify seismic performance. The results prove that CFS piers have more satisfactory ductility and strength than steel piers and relatively large hysteretic damping in dynamic behaviors. The seismic performance of steel and CFS piers is quantified on the basis of the test results. These results are evaluated through comparison of both the response modification factor method by elastic response spectrum and the performance-based design method by capacity spectrum and demand spectrum using effective viscous damping. The response modification factor of CFS piers is presented to apply in seismic design on a basis of this evaluation for a seismic performance.

This study presents the evaluation of CSM(Capacity Spectrum Method, ATC-40) in developing fragility curves for a sample concrete bridge. The CSM is originally developed as one of the simplified procedures for building structures, while this study adopts the CSM to develop fragility curves of bridge structures. Four(4) different approaches are demonstrated and the fragility curves developed are compared those by the nonlinear time history analysis. Fragility curves in this study are represented by lognormal distribution functions with two parameters and developed as a function of PGA. The sixty(60) ground acceleration time histories for the Los Angeles area developed for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) SAC(SEAOC-ATC-CUREe) steel project are used for the bridge analysis. The comparison of fragility curves by the CSM with those by the time history analysis indicates that the agreement is excellent for one of the methods investigated in this study. In this respect. it is recommended that the demand spectrum might be improved according to the guidelines suggested in this study. However, this observation might not always apply, depending on the details of specific bridge characteristic

In Seoul, more than 80 percent of residential buildings are constructed with unreinforced masonry(URM) buildings in early 1970 to 1990. In general, URM buildings have the advantages of reducing the construction time and easy to construction. However, URM buildings do not have enough strength against the lateral force. Moreover, low rise buildings have not adopted seismic designs, and for that reason a critical damage is expected with an earthquake. And also, the necessity of the seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures is raised through the Taiwan earthquake in 1999. The purpose of this study is to provide basic information for unreinforced masonry building in Korea by application of the proposed seismic evaluation method. In this study, seismic capacities of 50 existing unreinforced masonry buildings are evaluated based on the proposed method. Also, relationships of seismic capacities between Korean earthquake damage ratios of korean unreinforced masonry buildings are estimated. Results of this study were as follows; 1)Seismic retrofit was needed $8{\sim}48%$ in Korean unreinforced masonry buildings. 2)Korean unreinforced masonry buildings were expected to have severe damage under the earthquake intensity level experienced in Japan.

A new Energy-Dissipating Sacrificial Device (EDSD) is developed for steel plate girders, which can effectively dissipate the energy stored in the structures during seismic actions. To verify the performance of the EDSD, various seismic responses of a sample bridge with the EDSD are analyzed in terms of energy, member forces and deformation. The full scale model tests are conducted to certify the performance of the EDSD when it is applied on existing bridges. Using the improved hysteretic model of the sacrificial member, the seismic analysis for an example bridge is performed. The results show that the proposed EDSD under seismic excitations can significantly decrease the energy stored in the bridge structures and reduce the relative displacements of each superstructure to the ground. The EDSD is also found to function as a structural fuse under strong ground motions, sacrificing itself to absorb the excessive energy. Consequently, economical enhancement of the seismic performance of bridges can be achieved by employing the newly developed energy-dissipating sacrificial device.

몇 일 전 필자는 대전에 위치한 한 연구소에 근무하고 계신 분으로부터 지진취약도 분석에 관한 문의 전화를 받았다. 그분의 대학 후배가 지진취약도에 대한 연구를 하고 싶다는 내용이었다. 최근 필자는 그분 외에도 다른 분들과 함께 지진취약도 분석 및 이를 확장한 바람에 의한, 혹은 홍수에 의한 구조물의 확률적 안전성 분석에 관한 논의를 하곤 하였다. 현재까지 국내에서는 구조물의 취약도 분석에 대한 연구가 그다지 활발하지 않으나, 이에 대한 관심은 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 보여진다. 지진취약도를 한마디로 요약하면, "임의의 크기를 갖는 지진이 발생하였을 때, 구조물에 어느 규모 이상의 손상이 발생할 확률"을 의미하는 것으로, 구조물의 확률적 지진안전성으로 부를 수 있다. 예를 들어, "최대지반가속도가 0.1g인 지진이 발생하였을 때, 해당 구조물에 보수를 요하는 수준 이상의 손상이 발생할 확률이 30%이다"와 같은 정보를 지진취약도 곡선으로부터 읽을 수 있다.

도시가스는 도시생활을 유지하는데 필수 불가결한 라이프라인으로 가스사업자는 평상시 안정공급을 확보하는 것은 물론 지진과 같은 대규모의 자연재해가 발생한 경우에도 대처할 수 있도록 평상시부터 준비를 철저히 하지 않으면 안 된다. 우리나라에서는 1988년 건축물의 내진설계기준이 도입된 이래 일부시설에 대한 내진 설계기준이 설정되어 있다. 가스시설에 대해서도 1997년 한국지진공학회으로부터 우리나라의 지진환경을 고려한 가스시설의 내진성능기준(안) 및 내진설계 표준서(안)이 제시되어 가스시설물의 내진설계를 위한 기본적인 틀을 갖추었다.

It became clear that Korean peninsula is not a safe region anymore from an earthquake disaster after Gyeongju and Pohang Earthquake in 2016-2017. Unfortunately, building industry in Korea has not been well prepared for an earthquake disaster and the following problems exist. First, the rate of buildings with proper seismic performance is relatively low. Second, the number of piloti buildings which are vulnerable to earthquake and fire disaster has increased recently. Third, the proportion of small-scale buildings excluded from the application of the building law for securing safety is too high. Fourth, widespread corruption and poor construction impede safety. Therefore, measures to prepare for earthquake disaster are as follows. First, methods of reinforcing building structures and reducing the seismic load acting on a building should be utilized in order to secure the insufficient seismic performance of buildings vulnerable to earthquakes. Second, whistleblowers should be encouraged and protected to prevent defective construction due to corruption. To this end, whistleblowers should be recognized as an effective means of protecting public interest not the traitor to the organization.
