2016년 9월 12일 규모 5.8의 본진을 포함한 일련의 지진들이 경주에서 발생했다. 본진은 1905년 한반도에서 지진관측을 시작한 이래 반도 남부에서 발생한 최대의 지진으로서 양산단층이 명백한 활성단층임을 입증하였다. 콘래드 불연속면이 없는 단층의 한반도 지각 모델에 의한 경주지진들의 전진, 본진, 여진들의 평균깊이는 12.9 km로 콘래드 불연속면이 있는 2층 구조의 IASP91 모델에 의한 평균깊이보다 2.8 km 낮다. 경주지역에서 발생한 역사지진 및 계기지진들의 진앙분포는 주 단층인 양산단층과 부속 단층을 포함하는 양산단층계가 광범위한 파쇄대임을 시사한다. 규모 5.8의 경주지진에 수반한 지진들의 진앙분포는 양산단층계의 몇 단층들이 응력에너지의 방출에 관여하였음을 지시한다. 경주지진들의 주요 지진들이 지표가 아닌 10 km 이하에서 발생한 것은 양산단층계의 심부 활성단층들의 분포를 연구할 필요성을 제기한다. 경주지역의 지진자료에 근거하여 추정한 이 일대의 최대지진의 규모는 7.3이다. 한반도의 가장 완전한 1978년 이후의 지진자료를 이용하여 추정한 경주지역의 규모 5.0, 6.0, 7.0을 초과하는 지진들의 재현간격은 각기 80년, 670년, 그리고 5,900년이다. 2016년 9월 경주지진들은 본질적으로 판내부지진활동의 범주에 속하며 2011년 3월 11일 일본해구에서 발생한 판경계지진횔동인 동일본대지진과는 무관하다.

After the manual shutdown of the Wolseong nuclear power plant due to an earthquake in Gyeongju in 2016, anxiety about the earthquake safety of nuclear power plants has become a major social issue. The shear wall structure used as a major structural element in nuclear power plants is widely used as a major structural member because of its high resistance to horizontal loads such as earthquakes. However, due to the complexity of the structure, it is challenging to predict the dynamic characteristics of the structure. In this study, a three-story shear wall structure is fabricated, and the in-structure response characteristics of the shear wall structure are evaluated through shaking table tests. The test is performed using the Gyeongju earthquake that occurred in 2016, and the response characteristics due to the domestic earthquake are evaluated.

On September 12, 2016, Gyeongju earthquake occurred. Its local magnitude was announced to be $M_L=5.8$ by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). Ground motion data recorded at KMA, EMC and KERC stations was obtained from their data bases. From the data, horizontal and vertical response spectra, and V/H ratio were calculated. The horizontal spectrum was defined as geometric mean spectrum, GMRotI50. From the statistical analysis of the geometric mean spectra, a mean plus one standard deviation spectrum in lognormal distribution is obtained. Regression analysis is performed on this curve to determine the shape of spectrum including transition periods. Applying the same procedure, the shape and transition periods of vertical spectrum was obtained. These results were compared with the Korean standard design spectra, which were developed from domestic and overseas intraplate earthquake records. The response spectra of Gyeongju earthquake were found to be almost identical with the newly proposed design spectra. Even the V/H ratios showed good agreement. These results confirmed that the method adopted when developing the standard design spectra were valid and the developed design spectra were reliable.

Analytical models were developed and seismic behaviors were analyzed for a three-story stone pagoda at the Cheollyongsa temple site, which was damaged by the Gyeongju earthquake of 2016. Both finite and discrete element modeling were used and the analysis results were compared to the actual earthquake damage. Vulnerable parts of stone pagoda structure were identified and their seismic behaviors via sliding, rocking, and risk analyses were verified. In finite and discrete element analyses, the 3F main body stone was displaced uniaxially by 60 and 80 mm, respectively, similar to the actual displacement of 90 mm resulting from the earthquake. Considering various input conditions such as uniaxial excitation and soil-structure interaction, as well as seismic components and the distance from the epicenter, both models yielded reasonable and applicable results. The Gyeongju earthquake exhibited extreme short-period characteristics; thus, short-period structures such as stone pagodas were seriously damaged. In addition, we found that sliding occurred in the upper parts because the vertical load was low, but rocking predominated in the lower parts because most structural members were slender. The third-floor main body and roof stones were particularly vulnerable because some damage occurred when the sliding and rocking limits were exceeded. Risk analysis revealed that the probability of collapse was minimal at 0.1 g, but exceeded 80% at above 0.3 g. The collapse risks at an earthquake peak ground acceleration of 0.154 g at the immediate occupancy, life safety, and collapse prevention levels were 90%, 52%, and 6% respectively. When the actual damage was compared with the risk analysis, the stone pagoda retained earthquake-resistant performance at the life safety level.

A new site classification system and site coefficients based on local site conditions in Korea were developed and implemented as a part of minimum design load requirements for general seismic design. The new site classification system adopted bedrock depth and average shear wave velocity of soil above the bedrock as parameters for site classification. These code provisions were passed through a public hearing process before it was enacted. The public hearing process recommended to modify the naming of site classes and adjust the amplification factors so that the level of short-period amplification is suitable for economical seismic design. In this paper, the new code provisions were assessed using dynamic centrifuge tests and by comparing the design response spectra (DRS) with records from 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, the largest earthquake in history of instrumental seismic observation in Korea. The dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to simulate the representative Korean site conditions, such as shallow depth to bedrock and short-period amplification characteristics, and the results corroborated with the new DRS. The Gyeongju earthquake records also showed good agreement with the DRS. In summary, the new code provisions are reliable for representing the site amplification characteristic of shallow bedrock condition in Korea.

2016년 경주지진 이후로 국내에서도 본격적으로 건축물의 지진대책 강구가 시급한 시점에서 국내에 널리 보급되어 있는 R/C 건축물의 효율적인 내진성능 평가 및 내진보강을 포함한 내진대책을 위한 기초적인 자료를 얻고자, 2016년 경주지진에서 지진피해를 받은 R/C 저층 학교건축물(M학교)을 대상으로 지진피해도구분판정법을 이용하여 잔존내진성능과 지진피해정도를 평가함과 동시에, 부재수준의 비선형동적해석을 수행하여 지진피해정도와의 상관관계를 검토하였다. 지진피해도구분판정에 의한 손상도-I로 분류된 기둥은 2개, 손상도-II가 1개, 손상도-III으로 분류된 기둥이 3개로 각각 평가되어, 최종적으로 평가한 내진성능잔존율(R)은 88.2%로 피해분류는 소규모 피해로 판정되었으며, 또한 비선형동적해석 결과 1층 X방향의 최대응답을 나타낸 기둥의 휨변위는 0.7 mm, 전단변위는 6 mm로 전단균열은 발생하였지만, 전단파괴는 발생하지 않았다. 경주지진에서 지진피해를 입은 M학교의 지진피해가 1층의 X방향에 집중되어 있다는 사실, 휨균열보다는 전단균열이 발생하였다는 사실을 고려한다면 본 연구에서 수행한 비선형동적해석 결과는 2016년 경주지진에서 지진피해를 받은 M학교의 지진피해상황을 잘 반영하고 있다고 사료되며, 국내 기존 저층 R/C 건축물의 효율적인 내진성능 평가 및 내진보강을 포함한 내진대책을 위한 기초적인 자료로서 활용가능하다고 사료된다.

In this paper, comparative analysis of the 9.12 Gyeongju and 11.15 Pohang earthquakes was conducted in order to provide probable explanations and reasons for the damage observed in the 11.15 Pohang earthquake from both earthquake and structural engineering perspectives. The damage potentials like Arias intensity, effective peak ground acceleration, etc observed in the 11.15 Pohang earthquake were generally weaker than those of the 9.12 Gyeongju earthquake. However, in contrast to the high-frequency dominant nature of the 9.12 Gyeongju earthquake records, the spectral power of PHA2 record observed in the soft soil site was highly concentrated around 2Hz. The base shear around 2 Hz frequency was as high as 40% building weight. This frequency band is very close to the fundamental frequency of the piloti-type buildings severely damaged in the northern part of Pohang. Unfortunately, in addition to inherent vertical irregularity, most of the damaged piloti-type buildings had plan irregularity as well and were non-seismic. All these contributed to the fatal damage. Inelastic dynamic analysis indicated that PHA2 record demands system ductility capacity of 3.5 for a structure with a fundamental period of 0.5 sec and yield base shear strength of 10% building weight. The system ductility level of 3.5 seems very difficult to be achievable in non-seismic brittle piloti-type buildings. The soil profile of the PHA2 site was inversely estimated based on deconvolution technique and trial-error procedure with utilizing available records measured at several rock sites during the 11.15 Pohang earthquake. The soil profile estimated was very typical of soil class D, implying significant soil amplification in the 11.15 Pohang earthquake. The 11.15 Pohang earthquake gave us the expensive lesson that near-collapse damage to irregular and brittle buildings is highly possible when soil is soft and epicenter is close, although the earthquake magnitude is just minor to moderate (M 5+).

Observed ground motions from the January 2007 magnitude 4.9 Odaesan earthquake and the events occurring in the Gyeongsang provinces are compared with the previously proposed ground attenuation relationships in the Korean Peninsula to select most appropriate one. The selected relationship from the ones for the Korean Peninsula has been compared with attenuation relationships available in HAZUS. Then, the attenuation relation for the Western United States proposed by Sadigh et al.(1997) for the Site Class B has been selected for this study. It has been used for the earthquake loss estimation of the Gyeongju area located in southeast Korea using the deterministic method in HAZUS with a scenario earthquake (M=6.7). Application of the improved methodology for loss estimation in Korea will help decision makers for planning disaster responses and hazard mitigation.

This study tries to infer fault lines and produce a map for the lines based on a classification of fault-related landforms and fluvial landformsin the Gyeongju area of the Yangsan Fault Valley. Fault activities in the study area are thought to be older than the time of river formation or stronger than the erosion by river, while the northern and southern parts of the study area seem to have experienced fault activities after valley formation. It is also possible that weaker fault activities than the erosion by river seem to have been prevailed in the parts. In the study area, the Gyeongju alluvial fan is located within a wide erosional valley at the joint area of the Yangsan and Ulsan Faults. From the distribution of the landforms, it is inferred that several fault lines parallel to the Yangsan Fault are distributed at both sides of the fault valley. In particular, the area from Bae-dong to Nogok-ri, Naenam-myeon shows the most obvious linearity of the landforms within the study area. Several fault lines with a direction of NNE-SSW are also found around the epicenter of the 2016 Gyeongju Earthquake.

지진이 발생하기 전에 피해규모를 물리적, 경제적, 사회적 재해로 구분하여 예측하고, 이를 이용하여 사전에 충분히 대처한다면 그 피해를 최소한으로 경감할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 HAZUS의 결정론적 방법을 이용하여 경주지역 규모 6.7의 가상지진에 의한 재해를 예측해보았다. 이 방법을 이용하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 한반도 감쇠특성과 가장 잘 부합한다고 판단되는 Sadigh 등(1997)의 식에 지반분류 B, C와 D를 적용하였다. 그 외에도 이 방법에서 사용이 가능한 여러 감쇠식을 적용하여 같은 지역의 지진재해를 예측한 후 서로 상이하게 나타나는 피해규모를 살펴보았다. 각기 다른 감쇠식 적용에 따라 재해예측결과는 다소 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이번 연구에서 산출한 지진재해 예측결과는 연구지역의 지진재해위험성을 미리 살펴 재해발생 시 인명 및 재산 피해를 최대한 경감시키고, 응급상황에 신속히 대처할 수 있도록 재해저감 정책수립 단계에서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
