The choice of attenuation relationships is one of the most important parts of seismic hazard analysis as using a different attenuation relationship will cause significant differences in the final result, particularly in near distances. This problem is responsible for huge sensibilities of attenuation relationships which are used in seismic hazard analysis. For achieving this goal, attenuation relationships require a good compatibility with the target region. Many researchers have put substantial efforts in their studies of strong ground motion predictions, and each of them had an influence on the progress of attenuation relationships. In this study, two attenuation relationships are presented using seismic data of Mazandaran province in the north of Iran by Genetic Expression Programming (GEP) algorithm. Two site classifications of soil and rock were considered regarding the shear wave velocity of top 30 meters of site. The quantity of primary data was 93 records; 63 of them were recorded on rock and 30 of them recorded on soil. Due to the shortage of records, a regression technique had been used for increasing them. Through using this technique, 693 data had been created; 178 data for soil and 515 data for rock conditions. The Results of this study show the observed PGA values in the region have high correlation coefficients with the predicted values and can be used in seismic hazard analysis studies in the region.

송신원의 파워 증가가 제한되고 인공잡음이 존재하는 지역에서 양질의 탄성파 자료를 획득하기 위하여 근/원기준점(reference)을 이용한 탄성파 잡음예측필터를 개발하였다. 잡음예측필터에 사용된 방법은 backpropagation 알고리즘을 이용한 3층의 인공신경망(neural network)으로서, 훈련자료(training data) 및 검증자료(testing data)에 훈련된 잡음예측필터를 적용시 신호대잡음비(signal-to-noise ration)를 약 3배 정도 증가시켰다. 그러나, 일반적으로 전기, 전자탐사 자료의 질을 향상하기 위해 사용되는 스케일링(scaling)기법으로는 전혀 탄성파의 잡음을 제거할 수 없었다.

The necessity of the seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures is raised through the Taiwan earthquake in 1999. In this study, the methods of seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures in U.S.A. and Japan were reviewed, applied them to the three-story office building structures in Seoul. It is found out that it is possible to establish the seismic performance evaluation index of RC structure which meet Korean seismic code. Also it is concluded that if sufficient experimental and analytical data could be obtained, a reliable index for the evaluation of seismic performance of existing structures should be established in Korea.

This article presents a proposed analytical methodology to determine seismic force-resisting system R-values for steel diagrid framed systems. As current model building codes do not explicitly address the seismic design performance factors for this new and emerging structural system, the purpose of this study is to provide a sound and reliable basis for defining such seismic design parameters. An approach and methodology for the reliable determination of seismic performance factors for use in the design of steel diagrid framed structural systems is proposed. The recommended methodology is based on current state-of-the-art and state-of-the practice methods including structural nonlinear dynamic analysis techniques, testing data requirements, building code design procedures and earthquake ground motion characterization. In determining appropriate seismic performance factors (R, ${\Omega}_O$, $C_d$) for new archetypical building structural systems, the methodology defines acceptably low values of probability against collapse under maximum considered earthquake ground shaking.

Digital technology has been applied to marine seismic survey to develop data processing technology and multi-channel marine seismic survey. In result, high-resolution marine seismic survey ended in a success. Surveys are conducted for various purposes using various frequencies of acoustic sources. A low frequency source is used for deeper penetration and a high frequency source is used for higher resolution survey. In this study, a multi-source system was used for multi-channel marine seismic survey to acquire seismic sections of both low and high frequencies. Variations of depth of penetration and resolution would be used to achieve more accurate analysis of formations. In this study, the multi-source system consists of Bubble Pulser(400 Hz) for low frequency source and Sparker(1.5 kHz) for high frequency source.

A new seismic energy dissipation shear wall structure is proposed in this paper. The new shear wall is one with purposely built-in vertical slits within the wall panel, and various seismic energy dissipation devices are installed in the vertical slits so that the dynamic characteristics of the structure (for instance, lateral stiffness, ductility and fundamental period) can be controlled. In order to verify this concept, shaking table tests of two 10-story shear wall models were carried out, and the seismic behavior of the two models are studied by analyzing the test data and computing the nonlinear seismic response of the models.

The empirical Green's function method is applied to the foreshock and the mainshock of the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake to simulate strong ground motions of the mainshock and scenario earthquake at seismic stations of seven metropolises in South Korea, respectively. To identify the applicability of the method in advance, the mainshock is simulated, assuming the foreshock as the empirical Green's function. As a result of the simulation, the overall shape, the amplitude of PGA, and the duration and response spectra of the simulated seismic waveforms are similar with those of the observed seismic waveforms. Based on this result, a scenario earthquake on the causative fault of Gyeongju earthquake with a moment magnitude 6.5 is simulated, assuming that the mainshock serves as the empirical Green's function. As a result, the amplitude of PGA and the duration of simulated seismic waveforms are significantly increased and extended, and the spectral amplitude of the low frequency band is relatively increased compared with that of the high frequency band. If the empirical Green's function method is applied to several recent well-recorded moderate earthquakes, the simulated seismic waveforms can be used as not only input data for developing ground motion prediction equations, but also input data for creating the design response spectra of major facilities in South Korea.

폐갱도 지역에 형성된 지하공동과 그 주변에 발달된 파쇄대에서 공대공 탄성파 토모그래피 탐사의 신호변화를 해석하였다. 지하 공동과 파쇄대 주변에서는 초동시간의 지연과 에너지 감쇠 현상이 뚜렷하였고 파선의 우회현상으로 파선의 밀도가 저하되었다. 신선한 암반과 공동 주변을 통과한 트레이스에 대한 진폭스펙트럼 분석 결과 1000Hz정도의 주파수 범위까지는 진폭의 변화를 보이고 있지는 않으나, 2000Hz 정도에서는 공동 주변을 통과하는 것이 7dB 정도의 낮은 차이를 보이며, 3000Hz에서는 거의 20dB 정도까지 차이를 보인다. 본 연구를 통하여 탄성파 토모그래피 탐사를 이용한 신선한 암반과 지하 공동주위의 탄성파 자료 특성을 해석하였다.

우리나라 지형 여건 상 도로나 철도의 시공에는 터널이 포함되는 경우가 많다. 이 경우 터널의 미시추 구간에 대한 암반분류 도출에는 물리탐사가 유력한 수단이 된다. 탄성파 속도에 근거한 암반분류는 터널의 계획고가 깊을 경우 지표 및 시추공을 동시에 이용하는 대심도 토모그래피 기법이 적합하나 대심도 토모그래피 결과는 현재 국내에서 적용되고 있는 암반분류 기준으로 하면 통상 실제보다 암질을 양호하게 평가하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 암반상태와 탄성파 속도와의 상관관계를 보다 합리적으로 결정하기 위한 방법의 일환으로 셈블런스에 근거한 탄성파 기준속도비를 이용하는 암반분류방법을 제안하고 아울러 현장자료를 이용하여 그의 적용성을 고찰하였다.

The slosh height and the possibility of water spill from rectangular Spent Fuel Storage Bays (SFSB) and Tray Loading Bays (TLB) of Nuclear power plant (NPP) are studied during 0.2 g, Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) level of earthquake. The slosh height obtained through Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD) is compared the values given by TID-7024 (Housner 1963) and American concrete institute (ACI) seismic codes. An equivalent amplitude method is used to compute the slosh height through CFD. Numerically computed slosh height for first mode of vibration is found to be in agreement the codal values. The combined effect in longitudinal and lateral directions are studied separately, and found that the slosh height is increased by 24.3% and 38.9% along length and width directions respectively. There is no liquid spillage under SSE level of earthquake data in SFSB and TLB at convective level and at free surface acceleration data. Since seismic design codes do not have guidelines for combined excitations and effect of higher modes for irregular geometries, this CFD procedure can be opted for any geometries to study effect of higher modes and combined three directional excitations.
