2011년 3월 11일에 일본 토호쿠 앞바다에서 규모 9.0의 대지진이 발생하였고 이는 전 세계 지진관측망뿐 아니라 IMS(International Monitoring System)에서 운영하는 하와이 수중음향 관측망에도 기록되었다. 우리는 이 대지진을 비롯한 두개의 규모 7 이상의 여진의 수중음향 자료에 대하여 방위각 및 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 복잡한 지진원에서 발생한 T 파의 특성을 파악하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 복잡한 단층 파열 현상이 직접적으로 T 파의 형태에 영향을 미치는 것을 관측하였고, 빠른 단층 파열 과정에 의하여 발생한 T 파가 중첩되는 구간에서 큰 에너지가 기록된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 두 여진에서 발생한 T 파를 비교한 결과 단층 종류와 깊이에 의해 T 파의 형태와 주파수 특성이 변하는 것을 확인하였다.

Structural vibration characteristics of a semi-active base-isolated building were investigated using seismic observation records including those of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake (Tohoku earthquake). Three different types of analyses were conducted. First, we investigated the long-term changes in the natural frequencies and damping factors by using an ARX model and confirmed that the natural frequency of the superstructure decreased slightly after the main shock of the Tohoku earthquake. Second, we investigated short-term changes in the natural frequencies and damping factors during the main shock by using the N4SID method and observed different transition characteristics between the first and second modes. In the second mode, in which the superstructure response is most significant, the natural frequency changed depending on the response amplitude. In addition, at the beginning of the ground motion, the identified first natural frequency was high possibly as a result of sliding friction. Third, we compared the natural frequencies and damping factors between the conditions of a properly functional semi-active control system and a nonfunctional system, by using the records of the aftershocks of the Tohoku earthquake. However, we could not detect major differences because the response was probably influenced by sliding friction, which had a more significant effect on damping characteristics than did the semi-active dampers.

2011년 3월 11일 14시 46분 (JST) 일본 센다이에서 동쪽152 km 지점에서 수심 32 km지점에서 ($38.222^{\circ}N$ $142.369^{\circ}E$) 진도 9.0의 대지진이 (공식명칭: The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami) 발생했다. 지진해일 발생 후 센다이를 포함하는 주변해역에서 해양환경의 변화를 모니터링 하기 위해서 해색위성인 GOCI 및 MODIS에서 추출된 클로로필과 Rrs(555)을 이용하여 2011년 3월에서 5월까지 모니터링을 실시 하였다. 지진해일 발생 전 센다이 주변해역 및 일본 동부 해안은 상대적으로 낮은 농도의 클로로필과 부유물질 농도를 보였지만, 지진해일 발생 후 지진해일의 영향은 일본 동부 남북방향의 긴 해안선을 따라서 전 지역에서 영향을 미쳤고, 수층이 교란되었다. 급격한 변화는 수심 30 m 이내의 얕은 수심에서 일어났고, 외해에서의 변화는 거의 없었다. 지진해일 발생 두 달 후 이전의 안정된 해양환경으로 복원된 것으로 관측되었다.

Along the subduction-zone of the western Japanese islands, large earthquakes are expected occur around the middle of this century, and long-period ground motions will reach major urban areas, shaking high-rise buildings violently. Since some old high-rise buildings were designed without considering long-period ground motions, reinforcing such buildings is an important issue. An effective method to reinforce existing high-rise buildings is installing additional dampers. However, a problem with ordinary dampers is that they require reinforcement of surrounding columns and girders to support large reaction forces generated during earthquake ground motion. To solve this problem, a deformation-dependent oil damper was developed. The most attractive feature of this damper is to reduce the damping force at the moment when the frame deformation comes close to its maximum value. Due to this feature, the reinforcement of columns, girders, and foundations are no longer required. The authors applied seismic retrofitting with a deformation-dependent oil damper to an existing 54-story office building (Shinjuku Center Building) located in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, in 2009 to suppress vibration under the long period earthquake ground motions. The seismic responses were observed in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, and it is clarified that the damping ratio was higher and the response lower by 20% as compared to the building without dampers.

Theory of Earth's free oscillation is revisited. Firstly, we summarized the underlying formulations, such as the equation of motion and its conversion into numerically integrable form and then explained computational procedures including the treatment of inner core-outer core boundary and core-mantle boundary, while the latter information has not been explicitly given in most publications. Secondly, we re-calculated the periods of Earth's free oscillation modes (period >200 s) for PREM model. In doing so we acquired the values of modes missing in Dziewonski and Anderson (1981). As a case observation, one seismogram after 2011 Tohoku earthquake recorded at Daejeon, Korea (KIGAM seismic station) was briefly analyzed to identify free oscillation mode excitations on its spectra. The material in this article will be most clear guide for those on calculating the Earth's free oscillation mode.

2011년 3월 11일에 발생한 2011년 동일본(도호쿠) 지진해일은 한반도에 도달하여 많은 조위관측소에 기록되었다. 북동쪽 조위관측소 관측 자료에서 기존의 수치모의로 예측한 지진해일 도달시각보다 매우 이른 시간에 지진해일이 관측되는 지진해일 선행파가 관측되었다. Murotani et al.(2015)는 지형효과가 일본 및 러시아에서 관측된 지진해일 선행파와 관련 있음을 밝혔다. 본 연구에서는 지형효과를 고려한 지진해일 수치모의를 통해 우리나라에서 관측된 지진해일 선행파를 재현하였다. 이를 통하여 2011년 동일본 대지진과 같이 완만한 경사의 단층에서 발생한 지진에 의한 지진해일의 경우 지형효과를 고려하는 것이 지진해일 예측에 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 수치모의에 지형효과를 고려하기 위해서는 추가적인 연산 시간이 소요되므로 지진해일 통보 시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 충분한 검토가 필요하다.

A method of smart system identification of super high-rise buildings is proposed in which super high-rise buildings are modeled by a shear-bending system. The method is aimed at finding the story shear and bending stiffnesses of a specific story only from the horizontal floor accelerations. The proposed method uses a set of closed-form expressions for the story shear and bending stiffnesses in terms of the limited floor accelerations and utilizes a reduced shear-bending system with the same number of elements as the observation points. A difficulty of prediction of an unstable specific function in a low frequency range can be overcome by introducing an ARX model and discussing its relation with the Taylor series expansion coefficients of a transfer function. It is demonstrated that the shear-bending system can simulate the vibration records with a reasonable accuracy. It is also shown that the vibration records at two super high-rise buildings during the 2011 Tohoku (Japan) earthquake can be simulated with the proposed method including a technique of inserting degrees of freedom between the vibration recording points. Finally it is discussed further that the time-varying identification of fundamental natural period and stiffnesses can be conducted by setting an appropriate duration of evaluation in the batch least-squares method.

A much higher level of seismic performance is needed for supertall buildings due to increased demands for their functional continuities and the recognized needs for their continuing emergence in metropolitan areas. This paper analyzes, compares, and contrasts responses recorded during the 2011 Tohoku-oki Earthquake of different supertall buildings featuring conventional and vibration-controlled engineering systems. The superior performance and advantage of the latter are pointed out, and the typical dynamic properties, response characteristics, and effects on the secondary system are discussed. Ongoing efforts to enhance vibration control performance are described, covering the development of specifications, use of performance curves and targeted displacement design, and methods to find appropriate locations of damper installation resulting in a minimized amount of dampers.

The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake brought serious damage around the Tohoku district in Japan, and much human life and fortune were lost. Bridges were damaged by this earthquake. It was the most serious damage that the superstructures of bridges were flowed out by tsunami. Earthquakes of the same scale are predicted in other areas of Japan. It is necessary to take measures for bridges near coast. In order to understand the tsunami force acting on the bridge, hydraulic model experiments was conducted. In addition, this paper focused on fairing that is effective in wind resistant stability. Installing fairing to bridges has been verified by experiments whether it is possible to reduce the force of tsunami.

한반도 지각은 남동쪽으로 연평균 3cm의 속도로 이동하고 있다고 선행연구를 통해 알려져 있다. 2011년 동일본대지진에 의해 한반도 지각에는 큰 변동이 발생했다. 이후 한반도에서는 지진의 발생빈도가 증가하였다. 따라서 최근 15년간의 국내 및 국외 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 관측자료를 이용하여 동일본대지진 발생시점을 기준으로 한반도 지각변동 추세를 분석하였다. 자료처리는 전 세계적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 과학 기술용 소프트웨어 Bernese Software V5.2를 활용하였다. 그 결과 한반도는 동일본대지진 발생 전보다 이동 크기는 약 4mm, 이동 방향은 약 10° 차이가 발생했다. 한반도 내부 지각의 왜곡 현상은 동일본대지진 당시 한반도 지각의 동서 팽창 현상이 관측되었는데 최근까지 동일본대지진 이전의 수준으로 완전히 복귀하지 않은 것으로 판단된다.
