This presentation reviews international cases for earthquakes preparedness in Korean archives. Therefore, this presentation examines how the disaster plan of archives can be applied in earthquake preparedness and pays attention to four cases that could be used to prepare for earthquakes. Four cases are: protection of stacks in Japan, cooperative activities in Germany, unexpected disaster situations and business continuity plan in New Zealand, and risk assessment, cooperative activities, training in cultural heritage sector. If archives review real cases based on fundamental understanding of disaster plan, earthquakes preparedness plan could be established.

Korean Peninsula, located on the southeastern part of Eurasian plate, belongs to the intraplate region. The characteristics of intraplate earthquake show the low and rare seismicity and the sparse and irregular distribution of epicenters comparing to interplate earthquake. To evaluate the exact seismic activity in intraplate region, long-term seismic data including historical earthquake data should be archived. Fortunately the long-term historical earthquake records about 2,000 years are available in Korea Peninsula. By the analysis of this historical and instrumental earthquake data, seismic activity was very high in 16-18 centuries and is more active at the Yellow sea area than East sea area. Comparing to the high seismic activity of the north-eastern China in 16-18 centuries, it is inferred that seismic activity in two regions shows close relationship. Also general trend of epicenter distribution shows the SE-NW direction. In Korea Peninsula, the first seismic station was installed at Incheon in 1905 and 5 additional seismic stations were installed till 1943. There was no seismic station from 1945 to 1962, but a World Wide Standardized Seismograph was installed at Seoul in 1963. In 1990, Korean Meteorological Adminstration(KMA) had established centralized modem seismic network in real-time, consisted of 12 stations. After that time, many institutes tried to expand their own seismic networks in Korea Peninsula. Now KMA operates 35 velocity-type seismic stations and 75 accelerometers and Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources operates 32 and 16 stations, respectively. Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety and Korea Electric Power Research Institute operate 4 and 13 stations, consisted of velocity-type and accelerometer. In and around the Korean Peninsula, 27 intraplate earthquake mechanisms since 1936 were analyzed to understand the regional stress orientation and tectonics. These earthquakes are largest ones in this century and may represent the characteristics of earthquake in this region. Focal mechanism of these earthquakes show predominant strike-slip faulting with small amount of thrust components. The average P-axis is almost horizontal ENE-WSW. In north-eastern China, strike-slip faulting is dominant and nearly horizontal average P-axis in ENE-WSW is very similar with the Korean Peninsula. On the other hand, in the eastern part of East Sea, thrust faulting is dominant and average P-axis is horizontal with ESE-WNW. This indicate that not only the subducting Pacific Plate in east but also the indenting Indian Plate controls earthquake mechanism in the far east of the Eurasian Plate. Crustal velocity model is very important to determine the hypocenters of the local earthquakes. But the crust model in and around Korean Peninsula is not clear till now, because the sufficient seismic data could not accumulated. To solve this problem, reflection and refraction seismic survey and seismic wave analysis method were simultaneously applied to two long cross-section traversing the southern Korean Peninsula since 2002. This survey should be continuously conducted.

외국의 경우, 지진활동이 활발하지 않은 지역에서 강진이 발생하고, 최근 국내의 빈번해진 지진 발생 등의 이유로 내진설계 기준의 정립 및 강화가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 교량의 내진설계는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 한계점을 가지고 있다. l) 첫째 내진구조는 짧은 고유주기로 인하여 유발되는 지진력 자체가 매우 크다. 둘째, 설계지진을 능가하는 지진 발생시 구조물이 붕괴될 가능성이 크다. 즉 내진여유도가 작다. 셋째, 내진설계는 설계지진력 이상의 지진의 발생을 완전히 배제하지 않는데, 그러한 지진발생시 지지력이 모두 고정단이 위치한 교각에 집중되어 그 교각의 받침이 파괴되어 설계개념을 상실할 가능성이 높다.

The Yangsan fault system of Kyungsang Basin in the southeastern part of Korean peninsula is one of the most important structures in the peninsula. A number of strong earthquakes occurred in the vicinity of the fault. It was suggested that this fault can be divided into three segments: northern, central and southern ones. Earthquake data around the Yangsan fault were classified into two groups as incomplete and complete ones; the former is the data before the Choseon Dynasty and the latter is those since the dynasty. The maximum likelihood method was applied to compute seismicity parameters such as earthquake occurrence rates, b-values of frequency-magnitude relation and maximum possible magnitudes for each segment and the entire fault. These parameters show considerably different values from segment to segment. The b-value for the entire fault turned out to be 0.85 and maximum possible magnitudes for the northern, central and southern segments are 5.2, 6.8 and 6.0, respectively. The mean return periods for the maximum possible magnitudes for each segments are greater than 1000 years. In addition, according to the analysis of the frequency-magnitude relation, the occurrence pattern of earthquakes around the Yangsan fault show more similarity to the characteristic earthquake model than the Gutenberg-Richter model. The data for each segments are, however, too scarce to obtain any physically meaningful results.

Recent seismicity of the central region of South Korea is investigated by using the micro-earthquake data recorded at the seismic network of KNUE(Korea National University of Education) since December, 1997. About two earthquakes are observed each month, which indicates relatively low seismic activities of the region, without showing any temporal characteristics of seismicity. The b-value of the region obtained from the data we used is found to be about 1.15. The epicenters of the micro-earthquakes are mostly located in the Okchon Zone, especially around Munkyong area, Poeun-Sokri Mt.-Youngdong area, and Kunsan-Nonsan area.

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.

일본은 Pacific plate, Philippine plate, Eurasian plate 및 American plate 가 서로 접해 있는 판 경계부에 위치하며 내륙에는 많은 활단층(active fault)이 분포하고 있다. 이러한 활단층은 제4기 이후 단층 활동을 반복하면서 엄청난 재해를 동반하는 대지진의 발생과 함께 지표면에 지진 단층(earthquake fault)의 출현을 초래했다. 따라서 활단층 연구는 지진 예지, 지진 위험도 연구에 매우 중요한 분야가 되어왔다. (중략)

지진 활동의 결과로 발생하는 피해를 감소시키기 위해 지층의 단층구조를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 지층 탄성파 데이터를 공간자료구조를 활용하여 분석하고 효율적인 공간정보를 생산하는 시스템 개발과 관련된 연구를 제안한다. 공간자료구조는 방대한 탄성파 데이터를 지층을 이루는 암석층을 공간데이터로 저장하고, 분석하여 단층대를 이루는 공간을 검색 가능하게 한다. 검색된 단층가능 구간은 전문가의 판단을 통해 주변의 다른 단층구간과 다양한 요소들과 결합하여 지진 활동 연구에 중요한 판단 자료로 사용될 수 있다. 최근의 불안정한 지진활동 피해에서도 알 수 있듯이, 단층대의 확인 작업은 다양한 지상/지하 구조물의 안정성에 중요한 역할을 하는 자료가 된다.

진도의 거리에 따른 감쇠양상은 두가치 측면에서 중요하다. 첫째는 역사지진의 크기를 평가하는데 사용되고 둘째는 역사지진자료를 이용하여 지진위험도를 평가하는데 이용된다. 한반도의 경우 대부분의 지진활동 자료가 역사지진이므로 이지진들의 크기를 결정하고 이들을 이용하여 지진위험도를 평가하기 위하여 합리적인 진도감쇠양상의 결정은 매우 중요한 과제라 할수 있다 진도의 감쇠양상은 진앙진도와 진앙거리 등 두요소에 같이 의존함이 알려져 있으므로 한반도에서 MMI VIII만의 지진자료를 이용하여 결정된 Lee의 기존의 감쇠공식은 그 사용범위에 한계가 불가피하므로 상기 두 가지 요소를 함께 고려한 새로운 감쇠공식의 유도가 요구되어진다. 지체구조적으로 Sino-Korean 지괴라고 불리우는 중국 북동부와 한반도에서 발생한 MMI VIII-X 지진들의 자료를 이용하여 한반도에서 발생하는 MMI VIII-X의 강진들에 대한 새로운 진도감쇠양상을 결정하였다.

확률론적 방법을 적용하여 국내의 4개 원전 부지의 설계지진을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 방법은, 지금까지 원전 부지의 안전성 분야에서 적용되어 왔던 기존의 확률론적 재해도분석과는 다른 새로운 방법으로서, 기준확률의 분석과 제어지진의 결정을 위한 지진재해도 분해의 두 과정으로 구성된다. 분석에 사용된 지진원과 지진활동 특성값은 기존의 확률론적 지진재해도 분석에 사용되었던 입력자료이다. 이로부터 계산된 기준확률은 스펙트럼 가속도 감쇄식에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 기준확률1.0$\times$10-5에 대하여, 4개 원전 부지의 제어지진은 평균거리가 13~26kg, 평균 규모가 5.7~6.1 사이에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 값은 단지 현재의 입력자료에 근거하였을 때의 결과로서, 값 자체의 수치적인 의미보다는 전체적인 분석 과정을 검토하고 또한 현재의 입력자료와 새로운 방법이 조합되었을 때 산출되는 결과의 대략적인 수준을 파악하는데 더 큰 의미가 있다.
