  • Yangsan fault in the southeastern part of Korean peninsula has been locally reactivated along a prexisted fault during the late Pleistocene time. Geomorphological evidence of the reactivation is revealed at the northern segment(Yugye-ri, Tosung-ri areas) of the Yangsan fault. The reactivation is distinctively characterized by fault gouge and fracture zone with high frequency in the Yugye-ri area. Obique slip separation of the area is about three meters of the middle terrace. The cumulative vertical displacement is recognized after the formation of the middle terrace. Age of the reactivated faulting is constrained to during the formation of dissected valley deposits. Average vertical slip based on paleo-event is inferred to about 0.5-0.7 meter in this area.

  • This report describes the development and stability evaluation of a seismic retrofit method to evaluate the seismic performance of existing school buildings by analyzing the earthquake waveforms that occurred in Korea. Currently, Facilities for seismic retrofit designed for excessive reinforcement are being applied. To compensate for this, optimised the retrofit mothod suitable for domestic situation considering the characteristics of the seismic region, generated a Korean-style artificial seismic wave that meets the seismic design criteria, which is less frequent than other countries.
