Drawing on its extensive experience with natural disasters, Japan has been dispatching Japan Disaster Relief (JDR) team to disaster-stricken countries to provide specialist assistance in rescue and medical operations. The JDR team has assisted in the wake of disasters including the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China. Information about the affected area is essential for a rapid disaster response. However, it can be difficult to gather information on damages in the immediate post-disaster period. To help overcome this problem, we have built on an Earthquake Damage Estimation System. This system makes it possible to produce distributions of the earthquake's seismic intensity and structural damage based on pre-calculated data such as landform and site amplification factors for Peak Ground Velocity, which are estimated from a Digital Elevation Model, as well as population distribution. The estimation result can be shared with the JDR team and with other international organizations through communications satellite or the Internet, enabling more effective rapid relief operations.

우리나라는 비교적 안정된 판 내부에 존재한다. 하지만, 1976년 안전지대로 평가된 중국 탕산지역의 대규모 지진이 발생한 것처럼 우리나라도 지진에 대해 안전한 지역이라고 단언할 수는 없다. 게다가, 지진학자들도 국내에서 중규모 이상의 지진발생 가능성이 높다고 지적하고 있다. 이러한, 지진은 자체를 예방할 수 없기 때문에 내진설계에 대한 연구와 지진재해 관리체계에 대한 연구가 전반적으로 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 지진발생 시 초기 대응이나 수습과정에 대한 연구는 미비한 상태이며, 지진피해 평가시스템 구축을 위한 극소수의 연구가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 국내실정을 고려한 지진피해 평가시스템 구축을 위한 기초자료를 제시함을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 강남구 비내진 철근콘크리트 아파트를 표준형 건축물로 선정하여 지진피해를 예측하고, 취약도 함수의 도출과 층간변위에 따른 피해평가를 행하여 HAZUS 프로그램 취약도 함수 적용결과와 비교 분석한다.

21세기 한반도에는 인명과 사회 경제 시스템에 큰 피해를 초래할 수 있는 대규모 지진활동이 활발할 것으로 추정되고 있다. 서울시에서 수행한 "서울시 지진대응 모델 개발"에 관한 연구에서 서울지역에 규모 6.3이상의 가상지진이 발생할 것으로 예측하였다. 국내의 축적된 연구 결과가 부족하고 국내 현실을 반영한 제반 요소들이 충분히 평가 검증되지 않은 상태이기 때문에 기존의 지진피해 평가 기법을 적용하기에는 근본적인 제약이 있다. 따라서, 국내 현실에 보다 적합한 다양한 연구를 수행하기 위해서는 기초적 연구들이 먼저 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 국내에 적합하고, 신뢰성 있는 지진피해 평가시스템 구축을 위한 기초연구의 하나로서 비내진 설계된 철근콘크리트 아파트 건축물을 대상으로 현황조사에 의한 자료의 수집과 분석을 통해 이들 건축물의 표준형을 설정하고 이들의 내진성능점을 도출하여, 비내진 설계된 철근콘크리트 아파트건축물의 피해평가를 위한 기초자료를 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center has been developing a performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) methodology, which is based on explicit determination of performance, e.g., monetary losses, in a probabilistic manner where uncertainties in earthquake ground motion, structural response, damage estimation, and losses are explicitly considered. To carry out the PEER PBEE procedure for a component of the nuclear power plant (NPP) such as the cable tray system, hazard curve and spectra were defined for two hazard levels of the ground motions, namely, operation basis earthquake, and safe shutdown earthquake. Accordingly, two sets of spectral compatible ground motions were selected for dynamic analysis of the cable tray system. In general, the PBEE analysis of the cable tray in NPP was introduced where the resulting floor motions from the time history analysis (THA) of the NPP structure should be used as the input motion to the cable tray. However, for simplicity, a finite element model of the cable tray was developed for THA under the effect of the selected ground motions. Based on the structural analysis results, fragility curves were generated in terms of specific engineering demand parameters. Loss analysis was performed considering monetary losses corresponding to the predefined damage states. Then, overall losses were evaluated for different damage groups using the PEER PBEE methodology.

Seismic fragility functions for unreinforced masonry buildings were derived based on the incremental dynamic analysis of eight representative inelastic numerical models for application to Korea's earthquake damage estimation system. The effects of panel zones formed between piers and spandrels around openings were taken into account explicitly or implicitly regarding stiffness and inelastic deformation capacity. The site response of ground motion records measured at the rock site was used as input ground motion. Limit states were proposed based on the fraction of structural components that do not meet the required performance from the nonlinear static analysis of each model. In addition to the randomness of ground motion considered in the incremental dynamic analysis explicitly, supplementary standard deviation due to uncertainty that was not reflected in the fragility assessment procedure was added. The proposed seismic fragility functions were verified by applying them to the damage estimation of masonry buildings located around the epicenter of the 2017 Pohang earthquake and comparing the result with actual damage statistics.

Investigating damage potential of the railway infrastructure requires either large amount of case histories or in-depth numerical analyses, or both for which large amounts of effort and time are necessary to accomplish thoroughly. Rather than performing comprehensive studies for each damage case, in this study we collect and analyze a case history of the high-speed railway system damaged by the 2004 M6.6 Niigata Chuetsu earthquake for the development of the seismic fragility curve. The development processes are: 1) slice the railway system as 200 m segments and assigned damage levels and intensity measures (IMs) to each segment; 2) calculate probability of damage for a given IM; 3) estimate fragility curves using the maximum likelihood estimation regression method. Among IMs considered for fragility curves, spectral acceleration at 3 second period has the most prediction power for the probability of damage occurrence. Also, viaduct-type structure provides less scattered probability data points resulting in the best-fitted fragility curve, but for the tunnel-type structure data are poorly scattered for which fragility curve fitted is not meaningful. For validation purpose fragility curves developed are applied to the 2016 M7.0 Kumamoto earthquake case history by which another high-speed railway system was damaged. The number of actual damaged segments by the 2016 event is 25, and the number of equivalent damaged segments predicted using fragility curve is 22.21. Both numbers are very similar indicating that the developed fragility curve fits well to the Kumamoto region. Comparing with railway fragility curves from HAZUS, we found that HAZUS fragility curves are more conservative.

Structural damage is used to be modeled through reductions in the stiffness of structural elements for the purpose of damage estimation of structural system. In this study, the concept of joint damage is employed for more realistic damage assessment of a steel structure. The joint damage is estimated damage based on the mode shape informations using neural networks. The beam-to-column connection in a steel frame structure is represented by a rotational spring at the fixed end of a beam element. The severity of joint damage is defined as the reduction ratio of the connection stiffness with respect to the value of the intact joint. The concept of the substructural identification is used for the localized damage assessment in a large structure. The feasibility of the proposed method is examined using an example with simulated data. It has been found that the joint damages can be reasonably estimated for the case with the measurements of the mode vectors subjected to noise.

강관은 Northridge 지진이 발생했을 당시 산사태가 일어나는 언덕이나 산악지역에 매설되어 있었다. 본 논문은 지리정보체계(GIS) 시스템에서 위치에 따라 강관을 서로 다른 유형별로 분류하고 정의하였다. 이 논문은 지반속도와 강관의 손상관계를 분석하고 Northridge 지진 시 발생한 산사태의 영향을 받았던 지역을 조사하였다. 하나의 주목할 만한 사실은 Northridge 지진 후 강관의 손상률이 다른 종류의 매설관, 특히 캐스트아이런(CI)보다 더 높았다는 것이다. Northridge 지진으로 인한 상대적으로 높은 강관의 손상률은 가장 큰 내부압력을 요하는 곳에서의 설치관례와 부식으로 인한 영향으로 해석될 수 있다.

In order to consider the characteristics of nonlinear dynamic responses of seismic isolated bridges reasonably, piers and isolators are modeled as a 2-DOF bilinear system. Then nonlinear time-history earthquake response analysis is accomplished many artificial input ground motions which were generated to reflect the characteristics of earthquakes. Damage probabilities and failure probabilities of each structural elements of the brides are calculated by using Monte-Carlo simulation method. Based on LCC evaluation considering various cost items of direct/indirect damage costs, the optimal design method of seismic isolated bridges is proposed. By using a sensitivity analysis about the design variables and a cost effectiveness evaluation in the viewpoint of LCC, the validity and the adequacy of proposed optimal design method are verified.

지진재해로 인한 라이프라인의 피해는 구조물의 손상뿐만 아니라, 통신장애, 전력 가스 수자원 등 다양한 생활에너지의 공급에 장애를 발생시킨다. 이러한 지진재해에 효율적으로 대응하기 위해 미국과 일본에서는 HAZUS 및 HERAS와 같은 지진재해평가 시스템을 구축하여 활용하고 있다. 국내에서도 이러한 시스템 구축을 위해 노력하고 있으나, 근본적으로 구조물의 지진 해석을 통한 평가자료가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다양한 구조물 중 국내에 시공된 수많은 매설관을 조사하여 관 재질 특성에 따라 연성관과 취성관으로 분류하고 이에 대한 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 다양한 지진하중 하에서 국내 및 미국의 시공기준에 따라 매설관의 동적 거동을 비교 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 미국 HAZUS 프로그램의 알고리즘에 따른 국내의 매설관 손상평가의 적정성을 조사하였다.
