본 연구에서는 서기 2년부터 1977년까지 남.북한 역사지진(A.D 2-1904)과 초기 계기 지진(1905-1977) 목록을 이용하여 남한 지진 규모로 재조정된 지진목록을 작성하였다 역사 지진은 과거의 협소한 인구분포로 인해 지진 기록의 누락이 많앗다 지진 위험도를 작성하기 위해 지진 발생분포와 지체구조의 특성을 고려하여 4개의 지진구(seismic province)를 설정하였다. 각 지진구에서 최대 잠재 지진결정은 Gumbel의 최대치 이론을 이용하였다 제 1수정 점근 함수 분포에서 유한 상한 값(finte upper boundary) 의 존재는 각 지진구에서 발생할 최대 잠재 지진의 진원(source)이 유한하다는 사실과 잘 일치한다. 따라서 이를 근거로 각 지진구에서 10년 , 20년, 30년, 50년 이내에 2% 5% 10% 초과 확률을 갖는 최대 규모지진을 추정하였다 또한 각 지진구에서 유한 지진원은 과거에 발생했던 큰 규모의 특정 지진과 지진 지체구조 정보에 근거하여 결정하였다. 연구결과 조선시대(1392-1904) 의 지진위험도에서는 경주 울산지역과 서울과 평양지역을 따라 높은지반 가속도 값을 보이며 경주지역에서 0.24g의 최대 지반 가속도 값으로 나타났다 계기 지진목록(1905-1998)을 이용한 한반도의 지진 위험도에서는 경주, 울산, 대구 지역에서 0.10-0.12g 의 최대 지반가속도 값을 보였다. 그리고 계기 지진 목록(1905-1998) 만을 이용하여 작성한 서울.경기 지역의 지진 위험도에서는 김포, 잠실 , 성남 지역의 한강을 따라 분포하는 충적층과 강남지역의 지반 운동이 한강 이북의 대보 화강암 지역에 비해 비교적 높은 0.09-0.10g의 지반 가속도를 보이는 것이 특징이다.

Equations that could estimate the local magnitude of historical earthquakes, being difficult to calculate, in Sino-Korea craton was obtained using instrumental earthquake data for 22 Korean and 46 northeastern Chinese events. The obtained equations from intensity $I_0$ is $M_L=1.7+0.57{\times}I_0$. The equation from felt area FA for the Korean Peninsula is $M_L=4.29-1.34{\times}log(FA)+0.28{\times}log^2(FA)$. When the information on earthquake damage, effects, and felt area is all recorded at the same time, the former equation of intensity is more feasible than that of felt area due to uncertainty in earthquake felt area.

한반도 주요 지체구조구에 대한 최대지진을 지진 및 지질자료를 이용하여 여러 가지 방법으로 결정하였다. 한반도에서 발생한 가장 큰 지진은 MMI IX - X의 범위에 걸치며 이는 M= 7.0 - 7.7 에 해당한다. Gumbel의 극대치 제3분포를 이용하면 지체구조구별 최대지진은 M = 7.1 - 7.9의 범위에 놓이고, 응력방출 양상을 분석하면 M = 6.7 - 7.7 가 도출된다. 단층길이와 규모와의 상관관계에서 최대지진은 M = 7.4 - 7.6 에 놓인다. 한반도의 주요 지체구조구 사이에 최대지진의 현격한 차이를 나타내는 지진 및 지질학적 증거는 없다. 역사지진의 평가에서 강진들은 대략 1 계급( M=0.7) 과대 평가되는 경향이 있으므로, 한반도의 최대지진은 대략 M = 7.0으로 추정된다.

In an effort to further exploit the peak ground-motion acceleration (PGA) information per second available in real time by the enacted law, bracketed summations of the PGA per second ($BSPGA_k$) for 30 seconds based on the records with a rate of 100 samples were compared with the cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) and earthquake intensities based on a worldwide database of records from small-to-large earthquakes. The CAV, currently in use as an earthquake damage indicator for nuclear power plants due to its strong correlation with the earthquake intensity, has the disadvantage of requiring a massive amount of digital data with a rate of more than 100 samples per second. The comparative study shows that the $BSPGA_k$ is well correlated with the CAV over the wide range of strong ground-motion levels, which suggests that the $BSPGA_k$ is one of the new promising ground-motion parameters especially useful for rapid earthquake alert notifications through an earthquake monitoring network. Based on the domestic database of records from small-to-moderate earthquakes with felt reports, it is also observed that the $BSPGA_k$ is comparable to the CAV and better than the PGA in predicting the intensity by using the correlation relation.

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.

A sequence of earthquakes with the main shock $M_L$ 5.8 occurred on September 12 2016 in the Gyeongju area. The main shock was the largest earthquakes in the southern part of the Korean peninsula since the instrumental seismic observation began in the peninsula in 1905 and clearly demonstrated that the Yangsan fault is seismically active. The mean focal depth of the foreshock, main shock, and aftershock of the Gyeongju earthquakes estimated by the crustal model of single layer of the Korean peninsula without the Conrad discontinuity turns out to be 12.9 km, which is 2.8 km lower than that estimated based on the IASP91 reference model with the Conrad discontinuity. The distribution of the historical and instrumental earthquakes in the Gyeongju area indicates that the Yangsan fault system comprising the main Yangsan fault and its subsidiary faults is a large fracture zone. The epicenters of the Gyeongju earthquakes show that a few faults of the Yangsan fault system are involved in the release of the strain energy accumulated in the area. That the major earthquakes of Gyeongju earthquakes occurred not on the surface but below 10 km depth suggests the necessity of the study of the distribution of deep active faults of the Yangsan fault system. The magnitude of maximum earthquake of the Gyeongju area estimated based on the earthquake data of the area turns out to be 7.3. The recurrence intervals of the earthquakes over magnitudes 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 based on the earthquake data since 1978, which is the most complete data in the peninsula, are estimated as 80, 670, and 5,900 years, respectively. The September 2016 Gyeongju earthquakes are basically intraplate earthquakes not related to the Great East Japan earthquake of March 11 2011 which is interplate earthquake.

The objective of the study is to develop attenuation equations of the ground motions in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. The earthquake source characteristics and the medium properties were estimated from available instrumental earthquake records and used as input parameters. The peak ground accelerations(PGA) and pseudo-velocity response spectra(PSV) were simulated by the random vibration theory. The attenuation equations for the PGA and PSV were constructed in terms of local magnitudes and hypocentral distances.

In this paper, we predict the earthquake magnitudes which were recently occurred in Gyeongju and Pohang, using statistical methods based on historical data. For this purpose, we use the five-year block maximum data of 1392~1771 period, which has a relatively high annual density, among the historical earthquake magnitude data of the Chosun Dynasty. Then, we present the prediction and analysis of earthquake magnitudes for the return level over return period in the Chosun Dynasty using the extreme value theory based on the distribution of generalized extreme values (GEV). We use maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and L-moments estimation for parameters of GEV distribution. In particular, this study also demonstrates via the goodness-of-fit tests that the GEV distribution can be an appropriate analytical model for these historical earthquake magnitude data.

Based on the equivalent uniform stress concept presented by Seed and Idriss, sinusoidal cyclic loads which simplified the earthquake loads have been applied in evaluating the liquefaction resistance strength experimentally. However, the liquefaction resistance strength of soil based on the equivalent uniform stress concept can not exactly reflect the dynamic characteristics of the irregular earthquake motion. In this study, the criterion of the liquefaction resistance strength was determined by applying real earthquake loading to the cyclic triaxial test. From the test results, relationships between liquefaction behaviors of saturated sand and earthquake characteristics such as magnitude or time-duration were determined. Magnitude scaling factors to determine the soil liquefaction resistance strength in seismic design were also proposed.

2011년 동일본 지진해일의 영향으로 우리나라에도 지진해일에 관한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 지진해일은 대규모 자연재해로써 한 번 발생하면 수많은 인명피해와 막대한 재산피해를 발생시킨다. 또한, 근래에 들어 세계적으로 해저지진의 발생빈도가 증가하는 추세이므로 이에 대한 대비책을 마련해둘 필요성이 있다. 하지만 이런 지진해일은 발생시점에 대한 예측이 불가능하기 때문에 역사 및 가상 지진해일의 수치모형실험결과를 이용하여 영향을 검토한다. 본 연구에서는 부산항 신항이 완공되면 추후 발전가능성이 높은 송도와 연도지역에 대해서 지진해일에 의한 최대 처오름높이와 최저 처내림높이를 계산하였으며, 모두 3가지 지진해일에 대해 수치모의 하였다.
