Gas hydrate is ice-like crystalline lattice, formed at appropriate temperature and pressure, in which gas molecules are trapped. It is worldwide popular interesting subject as a potential energy. In korea, a seismic survey for gas hydrate have performed over the East sea by the KIGAM since 1997. In this paper, we had conducted numerical and physical modeling experiments for seismic properties on gas hydrate with field data which had been acquired over the East sea in 1998. We used a finite difference seismic method with staggered grid for 2-D elastic wave equation to generate synthetic seismograms from multi-channel surface seismic survey, OBC(Ocean Bottom Cable) and VSP(Vertical Seismic Profiling). We developed the seismic physical modeling system which is simulated in the deep sea conditions and acquired the physical model data to the various source-receiver geometry. We carried out seismic complex analysis with the obtained data. In numerical and physical modeling data, we observed the phase reversal phenomenon of reflection wave at interface between the gas hydrate and free gas. In seismic physical modeling, seismic properties of the modeling material agree with the seismic velocity estimated from the travel time of reflection events. We could easily find out AVO(Amplitude Versus Offset) in the reflection strength profile through seismic complex analysis.

Ensuring the integrity of a country's infrastructure is necessary to protect surrounding communities in case of disaster. Embankment dam systems across the US are an essential component of infrastructure, referred to as lifeline structures. Embankment dams are crucial to the survival of life and if these structures were to fail, it is imperative that states be prepared. Southern California is particularly concerned with the stability of embankment dams due to the frequent seismic activity that occurs in the state. The purpose of this study was to create a numerical model of an existing embankment dam simulated under seismic loads using previously recorded data. The embankment dam that was studied in Los Angeles, California was outfitted with accelerometers provided by the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program that have recorded strong motion data for decades and was processed by the Center for Engineering Strong Motion Data to be used in future engineering applications. The accelerometer data was then used to verify the numerical model that was created using finite element modeling software RS2. The results from this study showed Puddingstone Dam's simulated response was consistent with that experienced during previous earthquakes and therefore validated the predicted behavior from the numerical model. The study also identified areas of weakness and instability on the dam that posed the greatest risk for its failure. Following this study, the numerical model can now be used to predict the dam's response to future earthquakes, develop plans for its remediation, and for emergency response in case of disaster.

Seisimic wave가 지하 내부로 전파되어 갈 때 점차적으로 에너지를 상실함으로써 attenuation현상을 일으킨다. Seismic wave의 velocity를 complex number로 표시하여 실수부는 phase velocity, 허수부는 attenuation 상수로 하여 attenuation특성을 수치적으로 modeling하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 주파수와 독립적으로 로그특성으로 감쇄해가는 매질 속에서의 파동의 전파를 modeling한다. 본 연구는 attenuation을 위치함수로 표시하여 순방향 및 역방향 numerical modeling에 응용하여 FFT계산때 발생하는 wrap-arround noise 를 효율적으로 제거함으로써 memory space를 절약하고 computing time을 감소시킬 수 있음을 잘 보여주고 있다.

탄성파 속도는 지층 물성에 따라 다양하게 분포한다. 탄성파 음원 모음도 상에 나타나는 이러한 특성은 균질 매질을 고려한 수치 모델링에서는 정상적으로 모사할 수 없으므로 무작위 불균질 매질을 고려한 수치 모델링이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 불균질 매질 모델을 설정하고, 가우스 자기상관 함수, 지수 자기상관 함수, 폰 카르만 자기상관 함수를 이용하여 단순 지층 구조에 적용하고 각각의 특성을 살펴보았으며, 이 가운데 폰 카르만 자기상관 함수가 단파장 불균질 속도매질을 잘 표현함을 알 수 있었다. 가스 하이드레이트 수치모델링은 동해 현장자료를 바탕으로 해저면과 모델크기를 결정하였으며, 수치모델링 결과 폰 카르만 자기 상관함수가 불균질 지층구조를 포함하는 가스 하이드레이트 속도모델에서 산란현상을 가장 적절하게 구현함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 동해 탄성파 탐사자료의 탄성파 음원 모음도에서 나타나는 해저면 기인 강진폭 위상역전 반사파(BSR: bottom simulated reflector)와 산란파들이 불균질 수치 모형실험에서 적절하게 구현되었음을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, it has been reported that number of earthquakes was rapidly increased in the Korean Peninsula. According to the interest of seismic analysis, most of construction design must ensure the stability of structure against risks due to earthquake. Therefore, the ground reinforcement and application of seismic standards is necessary and the new structures must secure a stability about Earthquake under the Korea Seismic Analysis Standards. In this study, the 2D numerical analysis was performed to confirm a seismic stability and analysed that behavior of ground and dykes. The numerical seismic response analyses for dykes and its foundation soil were conducted with considering earthquake modes of short-period and long-period, and artificial seismic wave.

The recent seismic events have led to concerns on safety and vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frame "RC-MRF" buildings. The seismic design demands are greatly dependent on the computational tools, the inherent assumptions and approximations introduced in the modeling process. Thus, it is essential to assess the relative importance of implementing different modeling approaches and investigate the computed response sensitivity to the corresponding modeling assumptions. Many parameters and assumptions are to be justified for generation effective and accurate structural models of RC-MRF buildings to simulate the lateral response and evaluate seismic design demands. So, the present study aims to develop reliable finite element model through many refinements in modeling the various structural components. The effect of finite element modeling assumptions, analysis methods and code provisions on seismic response demands for the structural design of RC-MRF buildings are investigated. where, a series of three-dimensional finite element models were created to study various approaches to quantitatively improve the accuracy of FE models of symmetric buildings located in active seismic zones. It is shown from results of the comparative analyses that the use of a calibrated frame model which was made up of line elements featuring rigid offsets manages to provide estimates that match best with estimates obtained from a much more rigorous modeling approach involving the use of shell elements.

The main purpose of this paper is the numerical analysis of the non-linear seismic response of a RC building mock-up. The mock-up is subjected to different synthetic horizontal seismic excitations. The numerical approach is based on a 3D-model involving multilayered shell elements. These elements are composed of several single-layer membranes with various eccentricities. Bending effects are included through these eccentricities. Basic equations are first written for a single membrane element with its own eccentricity and then generalised to the multilayered shell element by superposition. The multilayered shell is considered as a classical shell element : all information about non-linear constitutive relations are investigated at the local scale of each layer, whereas balance and kinematics are checked afterwards at global scale. The non-linear dynamic response of the building is computed with Newmark algorithm. The numerical dynamic results (blind simulations) are considered in the linear and non linear cases and compared with experimental results from shaking table tests. Multilayered shell elements are found to be a promising tool for predictive computations of RC structures behaviour under 3D seismic loadings. This study was part of the CAMUS International Benchmark.

최근, 성능기반 내진설계법이 도입되면서 동적수치해석을 수행하여 지진에 대한 구조물의 실제 거동을 엄밀히 평가하는 것이 필요해지고 있다. 성능기반설계를 수행하려면 수치해석 모델링의 적용성을 검증하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치해석을 수행하여 말뚝지지 구조물의 동적 거동을 분석하고 수치모델링 기법과 입력변수값 산정방법을 제안하였다. 수치모델링의 적용성은 느슨한 사질토 지반에 설치된 무리말뚝의 동적 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 본 수치모델링은 동적 지반 물성값, 지반-말뚝 상호작용, 경계조건, 무리말뚝과 구조물의 모델링 등 원심모형실험의 실제 조건을 반영하도록 모델링하였다. 그 결과, 수치해석에서 얻어진 결과는 지반 내 가속도 변화, 말뚝의 모멘트와 변위, 그리고 구조물의 변위와 가속도 결과를 잘 모사하였다. 그러므로, 본 수치모델링 기법과 입력변수 산정기법이 무리말뚝의 내진성능을 평가할 때 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) requires a large number of simulations to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of structural and nonstructural components in nuclear power plants. The effect of structural modeling and analysis assumptions on dynamic analysis of 3D and simplified 2D stick models of auxiliary buildings and the attached nonstructural components is investigated. Dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of building models are also evaluated, as well as the computational accuracy of the models. The presented results provide a better understanding of the dynamic behavior and seismic performance of auxiliary buildings. The results also help to quantify the impact of uncertainties associated with modeling and analysis of simplified numerical models of structural and nonstructural components subjected to seismic shaking on the predicted seismic failure probabilities of these systems.

There have been several studies about empirical relation between seismic source parameters(e.g., focal mechanisms, depths, magnitudes, etc.) and T-wave observation. In order to delineate the relation, numerical and theoretical approaches to figure out T-wave excitation mechanism are required. In an attempt to investigate source radiation and wave scattering effects in the oceanic crust on T-wave envelopes, we perform three-dimensional numerical modeling to synthesize T-wave envelopes. We first calculate seismic P- and SV-wave energy on the seafloor using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo based on the Radiative Transfer Theory, which enables us to take into account both realistic seismic source parameters and wave scattering in heterogeneous media, and then estimate excited T-wave energy by normal mode computation. The numerical simulation has been carried out considering the following different conditions: source types (strike and normal faults), source depths (shallow and deep), and wave propagation through homogeneous and heterogeneous Earth media. From the results of numerical modeling, we confirmed that T-wave envelopes vary according to spatial seismic energy distributions on the seafloor for the various input parameters. Furthermore, the synthesized T-wave envelopes show directional patterns due to anisotropic source radiation, and the slope change of T-wave envelopes caused by focal depth. Seismic wave scattering in the oceanic crust is likely to control the shape of envelopes.
