Because a smart isolation system cannot be used as a base isolation system for tall buildings, top-story or mid-story isolation systems are required. In this study, adaptability of a smart top-story isolation system for reduction of seismic responses of tall buildings in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity has been investigated. To this end, 20-story example building structure was selected and an MR damper and low damping elastomeric bearings were used to compose a smart base isolation system. Artificial earthquakes generated based on design spectrum of low-to-moderate seismicity regions are used for structural analyses. Based on numerical simulation results, it has been shown that a smart top-story isolation system can effectively reduce both structural responses and isolation story drifts of the building structure in low-to-moderate seismicity regions in comparison with a passive top-story isolation system.

Loading protocols have been developed for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures and components. However, it is uncertain if protocols developed for conditions of intense ground shaking in regions of high seismicity would also be applicable to regions of low-moderate seismicity that are remote from the tectonic plate boundaries. This study presents a methodology for developing a quasi-static cyclic displacement loading protocol for experimental bracing evaluation of cold-formed steel stud shear walls. Simulations presented in the paper were based on conditions of moderate ground shaking (in Australia). The methodologies presented are generic in nature and can be applied to other regions of similar seismicity conditions (which include many parts of China, Korea, India and Malaysia). Numerous response time histories including both linear and nonlinear analyses have been generated for selected earthquake scenarios and site classes. Rain-flow cycle counting method has been used for determining the number of cycles at various ranges of normalized displacement amplitude. It is found that the number of displacement cycles of the loading protocol increases with increasing intensity of ground shaking (associated with a longer return period).

This paper gives a brief review of seismicity and seismic monitoring in surface mines. A summary of various researches related to seismicity is presented. Our research focuses on the understanding of seismicity and the application of analytical techniques to seismicity. Seismic monitoring plays an important role in the identification of potential failure planes and thereby predict potential failures. Much of the instrumentation used in our research is derived from earthquake monitoring systems. The major aspects in seismic monitoring are an instrumentation used, size of the network and data acquisition systems. Seismic monitoring in surface mines could be successfully applied to the improvement of safety standards in slope stability.

Seismic performance evaluation was conducted for four wind-designed concentrically braced steel highrise buildings in order to check the feasibility of designing steel highrise buildings per elastic seismic design criterion (or strength and stiffness solution) in the regions of strong wind and moderate seismicity. The pushover analysis results revealed that the wind-designed highrise buildings possess significantly increased elastic seismic capacity due to the overstrength resulting from the wind serviceability criterion. The strength demand-to-capacity study showed that, due to the wind-induced overstrength, highrise buildings with a slenderness ratio of larger than four or five can withstand elastically even the maximum considered earthquake at the performance level of immediate occupancy. Based on the analytical results of this study, practical elastic seismic design procedure for steel highrise buildings in the regions of moderate seismicity is proposed.

This paper introduces the status of and issues related to the PSHA (Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis) of Korean Nuclear Power Plant sites. PSHA was first introduced to the nuclear industry in the mid-1980s. The Korean PSHA is based on Cornell and accommodates the modem approach for eliciting expertise and statistical treatment. Due to the low seismicity in Korea, large uncertainties exist in the PSHA database including seismic source maps, seismicity parameters of seismic sources, and attenuation formulae. Though research in seismology, geology, and earthquake engineering since the mid-1990s has significantly reduced uncertainties, a considerable amount still exists. Considering the low seismicity of the Korean Peninsula, especially the lack of strong motion data, further reduction will take several decades.

강진지역에 있는 건축물을 지진하중으로부터 보호하기 위하여 개발된 스마트 면진시스템은 우리나라와 같은 중약진지역에 있는 건축물에 그대로 적용되기에는 많은 한계점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강진지역에 있는 건축물을 위한 스마트 면진시스템을 중약진지역에 건설되는 건축물에 적용하였을 때 발생하는 문제점을 검토해보았다. 또한 이를 토대로 중약진지역에 건설되는 건축물을 위한 스마트 면진시스템의 개발시 고려해야할 사항에 대해 알아보았다. 수치해석을 위한 예제구조물로 5층 건물을 선택하였고 스마트 면진시스템은 MR 감쇠기와 저감쇠 탄성베어링을 사용하여 구성하였다. 강진지역과 중약진지역에서 발생하는 지진하중으로는 기존에 발생한 역사지진을 바탕으로 인공지진을 생성하였다. 수치해석결과 스마트 면진시스템이 우수한 성능을 발휘하는 MR 감쇠기의 용량이 강진지역과 중약진지역에 대하여 크게 다른 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 강진지역에 건설되는 구조물을 위하여 개발된 스마트 면진시스템을 그대로 중약진지역에 적용하면 면진효과가 상당히 줄어들므로 스마트 제어장치의 특성을 중약진지역에 맞추어 주의 깊게 설계되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

본 수치해석논문에서는 절리와 단층대를 포함한 지열저류층에 수리자극을 가할 시 수반되는 유도지진과 단층대의 변형을 개별요소법을 사용하여 모델링하였다. 수채해석기법은 2차원 입자유동코드를 기반으로 하며 수리역학적 상호작용기법과 미소파괴음의 모멘트텐서 역산알고리즘이 결합되었다. 수치해석의 주요결과로는 시공간적으로 변하는 유도지진의 분포와 규모 그리고 단층대의 변형(파괴 및 전단변위)과 주입유체압력의 시공간적 분포와의 상관관계이다. 첫 번째 수치해석으로부터 절리가 분포하는 지열저류층에서의 수리자극에 의한 유도지진의 분포는 주입유체의 점성에 상당한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 주입유체의 점성이 낮은 경우 (1 cP), 유도지진의 발생범위가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 주입 후 발생하는 유도지진의 개수와 규모 또한 높게 나타났다. 단층대가 존재하는 지열저류층의 수리자극 모델링의 결과, 주입정의 위치가 단층대와 가까운 경우 작은 주입수 압력분포(<0.1 MPa)로도 단층대의 파괴와 전단변형을 일으킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 소개한 수치해석기법은 수리자극을 통한 지열저류층 개발 시 유도지진의 분포와 규모를 실제 유체주입작업전에 예측할 수 있게 함으로써 지열에너지개발 분야에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The rate of occurrence of intraplate earthquake events has been surveyed around the globe to ascertain the average level of intraplate seismic activities on land. Elastic response spectra corresponding to various levels of averaged (uniform) seismicity for a return period of 2475 years have then been derived along with modifying factors that can be used to infer ground motion and spectral response parameters for other return period values. Estimates derived from the assumption of uniform seismicity are intended to identify the minimum level of design seismic hazard in intraplate regions. The probabilistic seismic hazard assessment presented in the paper involved the use of ground motion models that have been developed for regions of different tectonic and crustal classifications. The proposed minimum earthquake loading model is illustrated by the case study of Peninsular Malaysia which has been identified with a minimum effective peak ground acceleration (EPGA) of 0.1 g for a return period of 2475 years, or 0.07 g for a notional return period of 475 years.

An estimation of seismic risk parameters by seismic zones of the Korea Peninsula in order to calculate the seismic hazard values using these was erformed. Seven seismic source zones were selected in consideration of seismicity and geology of Korean Peninsula. The seismicity parameters that should be estimated are maximum intensity, activity rate and b value in the Gutenberg - Richter relation. For computation of these parameters, least square method or maximum likelihood method is applied to the earthquake data in two ways; the one for the data without maximum intensity and the other with maximum intensity. Earthquake data since Choseon Dynasty is regarded as complete and estimation of parameters was made for these data using above two ways. And recently, a new method is published that estimate the seismicity parameters using mixed data containing large historical events and recent complete observations. Therefore, this method is applied to the whole earthquake data of the Korean Peninsula. It turns out that the b value computed considering maximum intensity is slightly lower than that computed considering without maximum intensity, and it becomes still lower when the incomplete data prior to Choseon Dynasty is used. In the case of the activity rates, the values obtained without maximum intensity and that with maximum intensity are similar, though they are lower when the incomplete data is used. The values of maximum intensities are usually lower when considering incomplete data. In the seismic source zone including the Yangsan Fault zone, however, the values are higher when considering the incomplete data.
