When the seismic stability of quay walls is analyzed, the magnitudes of force components acting on quay walls during earthquakes and the phase relations among these force components must be properly evaluated. In general, force components include inertia force of the quay wall, lateral earth force, and water force. The magnitude and the phase relation of each force component vary according to the magnitude of the excess pore pressures developed in backfill soils of the quay wall. The dynamic thrust mobilized at the contact surface between the backfill soil and the wall develops as a result of the interactions among these force components. We propose a simple model to evaluate the magnitude and phase variation of the dynamic thrust on the back of the wall in terms of the excess pore pressure. The proposed model can predict the dynamic thrust by summing the magnitudes of farce components calculated from design equations for seismic pressures on the wall. The proposed model was verified by comparing its results with the results from a series of shaking table tests.

The seismic responses of a building are affected by the connection characteristics that have effects on structural stiffness. In this study, push-over analysis and time history analysis were performed to estimate structural behavior of 2D eight-story unbraced steel structures with partially restrained composite connections using a nonlinear dynamic analysis program. Nonlinear $M-{\theta}$characteristics of connection and material inelastic characteristics of composite beam and steel column were considered. The idealization of composite semi-rigid connection as fully rigid connection yielded an increase in initial stiffness and ultimate strength in the push-over analysis. In time history analysis, the stiffness and hysteretic behavior of connections have effects on base-shear force, maximum story-drift and maximum moment in beams and columns. For seismic waves with PGA of 0.4 g, the structure with the semi-rigid composite connections shows the maximum story-drift with less than the life safety criteria by FEMA 273 and no inelastic behavior of beam and column, whereas in the structure with rigid connections, beams and columns have experienced inelastic behaviors.

지구 온난화에 따른 기후변화는 예측하기 힘든 패턴으로 특정지역의 강우빈도와 강수량을 증가시키고, 과거 관측되지 않았던 홍수 수위를 기록하는 등의 이상기후 현상으로 나타나고 있다. 기후변화의 눈으로 봤을 때 2010년은 전 세계적으로 많은 홍수, 지진, 산사태 등의 자연재해를 야기 시켰고, 이는 수자원의 활용과 관리 측면 뿐만 아니라 사회, 경제적 영향 및 자연재해로 확장되어 인류의 생활에 큰 영향으로 다가왔다. 이처럼 예기치 못한 기후변화에 대응하기 위해서는 수자원 정책이나, 장기발전계획 뿐만 아니라 발생된 기후 상황을 검토하고, 그 지역에서 발생된 강수량, 수위, 유량 등에 대한 기초 자료에 대한 분석이 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 2010년에 섬진강 유역의 최상류에서 하류에 이르는 덕치 외 12개 수위관측소를 대상 지점으로 선정하여 각 지점에 대한 현장조사를 실시하고, 수위모니터링을 비롯한 강수량, 방류량 등의 기본 자료를 수집하여 과거 자료와 비교검토 하였다. 그리고 저 평수기와 홍수기에 하천의 수위 및 유량을 현장에서 직접 실측하여 섬진강 상류에서 하류에 이르는 유출특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 2010년 섬진강 유역에서는 지점에 따라 관측 개시일이 다르지만 1990년부터 관측이 개시된 구례와 송정 지점을 비롯하여 관측 이래 최고수위에 해당하는 호우가 발생되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 2010년에 발생한 섬진강 유역의 지점별 상류에서 하류까지의 첨두유량을 분석 및 제시하였다. 이는 기존에 추정에 의해서 제시되었던 고수위 부분의 유량을 실측함으로써 고수위에 대한 수위-유량관계곡선식을 새롭게 제시하고, 홍수 주의보와 경보수위를 검토할 수 있는 기회가 되었다. 아울러 본 자료는 추후 발생 가능한 홍수에 좀 더 신속하게 대응할 수 있는 기초가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Due to the Pohang earthquakes in 2017, concerns are increasing that Korea is no longer safe from liquefaction, and needs the research to take proper measures for liquefaction. Liquefaction is defined as the loss of shear strength of the ground. In order to solve this problem, many studies, such as composing a liquefaction hazard map using Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), have been conducted. However, domestic researches on the comparative analysis of liquefaction prediction results are not sufficient. Therefore, in this study, liquefaction hazard maps were composed using the standard penetration test results, shear wave velocity values, and cone penetration test results. After that, the precision was determined by comparing the calculated LPI using the geotechnical information and predicted LPI via spatial interpolation target. Based on the analysis results, the predicted LPI value using geotechnical information is more precise than using calculated LPI value.

In this study, a supplementary detail capable of restraining out-of-plane deformation was proposed for steel slit dampers, and a constant amplitude cyclic loading test was performed with the application of the proposed detail and the shape ratio of the damper as variables. Repeated hysteresis and cumulative plastic deformation according to the test results were analyzed. Repeated hysteresis of the slit damper with the proposed detail showed a stable spindle-shaped hysteresis within the set variable range, and no out-of-plane deformation of the damper was observed until ultimate state. It was confirmed that the restraining panel effect through the application of the proposed details is effective in terms of both the strength and deformation capacity of the damper. In addition, experimental parameters for the fatigue curve evaluation of slit dampers were derived in this study. Based on the results, it is judged that quantitative comparison of structural performance with various types of seismic devices will be possible in the future.

국내뿐만 아니라 세계적으로도 산사태 발생에 따른 토석류 피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으나 아직 토석류 거동에 대한 물리적인 특성을 규명하고, 실험 등을 통한 면밀한 검토가 안 되었다. 토석류는 집중호우 시 토사 내 함수량의 증가로 인해 또는 지진, 화산 발생 시 지각 변동으로 인해 사면의 저항력이 약화되어 발생한다. 이러한 토석류는 재해를 일으키는 매우 위험한 자연 현상이며, 그 규모에 따라 하류부에 큰 피해를 발생시킬 수 있다. 국내에서 수행된 토석류 관련 연구들은 해외에서 주로 수행된 기초연구 결과를 이용한 토석류 피해 발생예측, 위험지도 작성, 토석류 방지 구조물 개발 등의 응용연구가 대부분이며 소규모 모형을 제작하여 수리실험이 진행되었다. 김기환 외(2008)은 토석류 확산형태와 흐름 속도에 대한 모형실험을 수행하였으며, 김영일과 백중철(2011)은 토석류 유동과 퇴적 특성에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 미국의 경우 미지질조사국(USGS, U.S Geological Survey)에서 1994년부터 지금까지 100 m 길이의 대형 경사수로를 이용하여 토석류 수리모형실험을 수행하고 있으며 이를 통해 토석류의 수위, 충격력, 전파속도, 유출 후 퇴적형상 등에 대한 다양한 실험데이터를 제시하고 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 국내외 토석류 실험에 대한 표준실험방법과 기준이 정립되지 않아 실험결과의 신뢰성을 명확히 증명하기 어려운 실정이다. 토석류로 인한 가장 직접적인 피해 인자인 토석류의 충격력과 전파속도를 수리모형실험을 통해 정량적으로 파악하기 위한 시험 표준으로 시험 절차, 시험 방법 및 적정한 측정장비의 사양 등을 단체표준을 통해 제공함으로써 시험의 불확실성을 최소화하고, 명확한 프로세스에 따른 시험 결과의 신뢰성과 일관성을 확보하고자 한다. 국토교통연구인프라운영원에서는 단체표준 개발을 위한 시험기관협의체를 구성하고, 이해관계인들의 의견을 반영한 토석류 충격력과 전파속도 측정방법(안)을 2022년에 7월 작성하였으며, 현재 이해관계자들의 의견을 수렴하고 중소기업중앙회에 심의를 상정한 상태이다.

To describe hysteretic behavior of steel structures under dynamic loading such as earthquake, the dynamic cyclic plasticity model considering stress-strain relationship and characteristics of used steel materials under static-dynamic deforming is required. In this paper, mechanical characteristics and stress-strain relationship of SM490 was clarified by carrying out static-dynamic monotonic and cyclic loading test. A dynamic cyclic plasticity model of SM490 was proposed based on the test results and applied 3-dimensional finite element analysis using finite deformation theory. An analytical method developed by the authors was verified validity and accuracy by comparing both analysis and test results. The comparison result shows that the analytical method developed by the authors can predict static-dynamic hysteretic behavior of steel structures with accuracy.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, reports and books that compiled the testimonies of the victims were published and the situation of the evacuation at that time became known. However, there is very little information on the evacuation situation of children among these data, and it is not fully known what actions the children took and how they evacuated due to an earthquake or tsunami. The purpose of this study is to analyze and examine children's evacuation behavior in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and to predict children's evacuation behavior for future disasters.

This paper assesses the suitability of existing standards for plastic material models and performance level evaluation methods in seismic performance evaluations of concrete dam piers during Maximum Credible Earthquakes (MCE). Dynamic plastic analysis was conducted to examine the applicability of the plastic material model under various conditions. As a result reveal that when the minimum reinforcement ratio is not met, the average stress-average strain method recommended in current dam seismic performance evaluation guidelines tends to underestimate pier responses compared to the predicted outcomes of dynamic elastic analysis. Consequently, the paper proposes an improvement plan that treats dam piers with an insufficient minimum reinforcement ratio as unreinforced and integrates fracture energy into concrete tensile behavior characteristics for performance level evaluation. Implementing these improvements can lead to more conservative evaluation outcomes compared to current seismic performance evaluation methods.

Recently, the utilization of underground space for research facilities and resource development has been on the rise, expanding development from shallow to deep underground. The establishment of deep underground spaces necessitates a thorough examination of rock stability under conditions of elevated stress and temperature. In instances of greater depth, the stability is influenced not only by the geological structure and discontinuity of rock but also by the propagation of ground vibrations resulting from earthquakes and rock blasting during excavation, causing stress changes in the underground cavity and impacting rock stability. In terms of blasting engineering, empirical regression models and numerical analysis methods are used to predict ground vibration through statistical regression analysis based on measured data. In this study, single-hole blasting was conducted, and the pressure of the blast hole and observation hole and ground vibration were measured. Based on the experimental results, the blast pressure blasting vibration at a distance, and the response characteristics of the tunnel floor, side walls, and ceiling were analyzed.
