The spatial variation characteristics of seismic motions at the nuclear power plant's site and structures were analyzed using earthquake records obtained at the Fukushima nuclear power plant during the Great East Japan Earthquake. The ground responses amplified as they approached the soil surface from the lower rock surface, and the amplification occurred intensively at about 50 m near the ground. Due to the soil layer's nonlinear characteristics caused by the strong seismic motion, the ground's natural frequency derived from the response spectrum ratio appeared to be smaller than that calculated from the shear wave velocity profile. The spatial variation of the peak ground acceleration at the ground surface of the power plant site showed a significant difference of about 0.6 g at the maximum. As a result of comparing the response spectrums at the basement of the structure with the design response spectrum, there was a large variability by each power plant unit. The difference was more significant in the Fukushima Daiichi site record, which showed larger peak ground acceleration at the surface. The earthquake motions input to the basement of the structure amplified according to the structure's height. The natural frequency obtained from the recorded results was lower than that indicated in the previous research. Also, the floor response spectrum change according to the location at the same height was investigated. The vertical response on the foundation surface showed a significant difference in spectral acceleration depending on the location. The amplified response in the structure showed a different variability depending on the type of structure and the target frequency.

The fragmentation statistics of ion trap CID (Collision-Induced Dissociation) spectra using 87,661 tandem mass spectra of doubly charged tryptic peptides are analyzed here. In contrast to the usual method of using intensity information, the frequency of occurrence of fragment ions, with respect to the position of the cleavage site and the residues at these sites is studied in this paper. The analysis shows that the frequency of occurrence of fragment ion peaks is more towards the middle of the peptide than its ends. It was noted that amino acid with an aromatic and basic side chain at N- & C- terminal end of the peptide stimulates more peaks at the lower end of the spectrum. The residue pair effect was shown when the amide bond occurs between acidic and basic residues. The fragmentation at these sites (D/E-H/R/K) stimulates the generation of the y-ion peak. Also, the cleavage site H-H/R/K stimulates the generation of b-ions. K-P environment in the peptide sequence has more tendency to generate y-ions than b-ions. Statistical analysis helps in the visualization of the CID fragmentation pattern. Cleavage pattern along the length of the peptide and the residue pair effects, enhance the knowledge of fragmentation behavior, which is useful for the better interpretation of tandem mass spectra.

The spatial variation of ground motion in Kolkata Metropolitan District (KMD) has been estimated by generating synthetic ground motion considering the point source model coupled with site response analysis. The most vulnerable source was identified from regional seismotectonic map for an area of about 350 km radius around Kolkata. The rock level acceleration time histories at 121 borehole locations in Kolkata for the vulnerable source, Eocene Hinge Zone, due to maximum credible earthquake (MCE) moment magnitude 6.2 were generated by synthetic ground motion model. Soil investigation data of 121 boreholes were collected from the report of Soil Data Bank Project, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Surface level ground motion parameters were determined using SHAKE2000 software. The results are presented in the form of peak ground acceleration (PGA) at rock level and ground surface, amplification factor, and the response spectra at the ground surface for frequency 1.5 Hz, 3 Hz, 5 Hz and 10 Hz and 5% damping ratio. Site response study shows higher PGA in comparison with rock level acceleration. Maximum amplification in some portion in KMD area is found to be as high as 3.0 times compared to rock level.

High rock-fill embankment is relatively flexible, which makes crest of embankment subject to excessive amplification in displacement due to earthquake loading. To overcome problems related with site response in high embankment, it is essential to evaluate shear-wave velocity profile of the embankment with improved accuracy and reliability. In this aspect, an experimental research was performed to answer how to perform surface-wave tests and to analyze measurements at an embankment site with a sloping ground surface. Unlike flat ground surface, sloping ground may hamper and slow down propagation of surface waves due to multiple reflections and refractions in embankment. To figure out this reasoning for the effect of multiple reflections and refractions due to sloping surface, surface wave tests were performed at a reservoir embankment of Chung-Song in North KyeongSang Province. Parameters involved in surface wave tests at non-flat surface, including source directionality, geometry-related constraint and frequency components in source function, were investigated using field measurements.

주파수 영역에서 H/V 스펙트럼비를 구하는 방법은 부지 지반증폭함수를 평가할 때 자주 사용되는 방법이다. 이 방법은 Nakamura에 의해 처음으로 제시되었으며 주로 표면파를 이용하였다. 본 논문에서는 H/V 스펙트럼비를 분석한 결과를 이용하여 국내에 분포되어 있는 지진관측소 부지의 지반증폭 특성을 분석하였으며 이를 위해 본진을 포함한 12개의 후쿠오카 지진으로부터 관측된 지반진동 자료가 이용되었다. 분석결과 대부분의 지진관측소의 H/V 스펙트럼비는 저주파수 영역에서는 변화가 거의 없는 지반증폭 특성을 보여주었다. 하지만 고주파수 영역의 H/V 스펙트럼비는 지진관측소에 따라 우세 주파수 및 1개 또는 여러 개의 지역 피크값을 가지고 있는 것과 같이 특징적인 지반증폭 특성을 보여 주었다. 물론 지반증폭 특성 자체도 부지에 대해 중요한 정보를 제고한다는 점에서 중요하지만 관측된 지반진동 자료를 이용하여 지진원 및 지각감쇠 특성 요소를 분석할 경우 결과값의 왜곡을 피하기 위해 지반증폭 특성을 제거할 필요가 있다.

"low and old age trend" is a big social national problem in korea but also in foreign countries. The Government pursues a policy for aged people to take part in construction site as labours. Low childbirth and avoidance of 3D work kinds lead to exposure of aged workers to industry work places. According to korea department of labour, it is expected that 18% of total economic activity people in 2008 to 27.2% in 2018 be increased with age of more than 55 old years. Therefore, It is needed that more countermeasures for old workers should be taken for safer work conditions. This old workers with more than 55 old years contain major portion of accident occurrence in construction industry. It is found that accident rate in construction industry can be decreased if appropriate technical safety training is provided to them who wish to work at construction sites. Statistic analysis such as frequency, cross, logistic regression using program package SPSS 13.0 has been made after collecting questionnaire survey of more than 330 workers at construction sites.

본 연구에서는 수문학적 가뭄의 위험도 평가를 위해 이변량 지역빈도해석 방법을 적용하여 2022년 가뭄 빈도를 평가하였다. 현재 우리나라의 수문학 분야에서 사용 가능한 자료의 대부분이 자료연수가 부족하여 기존의 지점빈도해석 수행 시 도출되는 결과의 신뢰도에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 유입량 자료를 대상으로 지역빈도분석을 수행하였으며, 최종적으로는 가뭄사상의 결합재현기간을 도출하여 가뭄위험도 평가를 위한 각 댐 별 빈도분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 제안되는 Copula 기반 지역빈도해석 모형은 가뭄변량 간의 상관성 및 극치 특성을 효과적으로 반영하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 지역빈도해석모형과 지점빈도해석모형의 적합성 검정 결과의 비교를 통해 지역빈도해석 모형의 장점을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 2022년에 발생한 낙동강 유역의 수문학적 가뭄사상은 결합재현기간이 8년을 상회하는 것으로 나타났으며 남강댐의 경우 결합재현기간이 20년으로 평가되어 낙동강 유역에서 상대적으로 심한 가뭄이 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

Seismic analysis of local site conditions is fundamental for a reliable site seismic hazard assessment. It plays a major role in mitigation of seismic damage potential through the prediction of surface ground motion in terms of amplitude, frequency content and duration. Such analysis requires the determination of the transfer function, which is a simple tool for characterizing a soil profile by estimating its vibration frequencies and its amplification potential. In this study, numerical simulations are carried out and are then combined with a statistical study to allow the characterization of design sites classified by the Algerian Building Seismic Code (RPA99, ver 2003), by average transfer functions. The mean transfer functions are thereafter used to compute RPA99 average site factors. In this regard, coming up seismic fields are simulated based on Power Spectral Density Functions (PSDF) defined at the rock basement. Results are also used to compute average site factor where, actual and synthetic time histories are introduced. In absence of measurement data, it is found that the proposed approach can be used for a better soil characterization.
