포항지진(M_L=5.4) 시 발생한 액상화 현상은 국민들에게 지진으로 유발되는 액상화의 위험성을 새롭게 각인시켰고, 이에 대한 대비책으로 액상화 위험지도의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 현재 행정안전부가 보유하고 있는 액상화 위험지도는 2014년 제작된 것으로 전국 100,000개 이상의 시추 자료를 토대로 지하수위 0m인 조건으로 지반조건별 증폭계수를 사용하였으며 시추정보가 없는 지역은 보간법을 이용하여 2km × 2km 격자형식으로 제작된 것이 특징이다. 이러한 가운데, 2018년 행정안전부는 내진설계 공통기준의 새로운 지반분류법과 증폭계수를 공표하였다. 따라서 개정된 행정안전부의 증폭계수를 반영한 액상화 위험지도의 재작성이 필요하다. 본 연구는 내진설계 공통기준 개정 전·후 두 개의 기준으로 전 국토를 대상으로 지반분류를 수행하여 변동성을 분석하였으며, 지반조건별 증폭계수를 적용한 액상화 평가결과를 부산시 강서구를 대상으로 수행하였다. 이때 재현주기 500년과 1,000년에 해당하는 지반가속도를 적용하였으며 우리나라 평균 지하수위인 5m와 극한 조건인 0m로 구분하여 액상화 위험도를 평가하였다. 액상화 위험지도는 기존의 2km × 2km보다 높은 해상도를 확보하기 위해 500m × 500m 격자를 생성하여 위험지도를 작성하였다. 연구결과, 기존 지반분류 기준을 통해 S_C, S_D 지반으로 분류되었던 지반상태가 개정된 지반분류 기준을 통해 S₂, S₃, S₄로 재분류되었다. 재현주기 500년과 1,000년으로 액상화 평가를 수행한 결과 개정 전 지반증폭계수 적용한 LPI가 상대적으로 과대평가되는 결과를 도출하였다. 본 연구결과는 증폭계수를 이용하는 광역지역 액상화 위험지도 작성의 근간인 액상화 평가에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소로써 향후 광역지역 액상화 위험지도 작성의 경우 반드시 고려될 사항으로 판단된다

The tsunami from the megathrust earthquake magnitude 9.3 on 26 December 2004 is the largest tsunami the world has known in over forty years. This tsunami destructively attacked 13 countries around Indian Ocean with at least 230,000 fatalities, displaced people 2,089,883 and 1.5 million people who lost their livelihoods. The ratio of women and children killed to men is 3 to 1. The total damage costs US$ 10.73 billion and rebuilding costs US$ 10.375 billion. The tsunami's death toll could have been drastically reduced, if the warning was disseminated quickly and effectively to the coastal dwellers along the Indian Ocean rim. With a warning system in Indian Ocean similar to that operating in the Pacific Ocean since 1965, it would have been possible to warn, evacuate and save countless lives. The best tribute we can pay to all who perished or suffered in this disaster is to heed its powerful lessons. UNESCO/IOC have put their tremendous effort on better disaster preparedness, functional early warning systems and realistic arrangements to cope with tsunami disaster. They organized ICG/IOTWS (Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System) and the third of this meeting is held in Bali, Indonesia during $31^{st}$ July to $4^{th}$ August 2006. A US$ 53 million interim warning system using tidal gauges and undersea sensors is nearing completion in the Indian Ocean with the assistance from IOC. The tsunami warning depends strictly on an early detection of a tsunami (wave) perturbation in the ocean itself. It does not and cannot depend on seismological information alone. In the case of 26 December 2004 tsunami when the NOAA/PMEL DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami) system has not been deployed, the initialized input of sea surface perturbation for the MOST (Method Of Splitting Tsunami) model was from the tsunamigenic-earthquake source model. It is the first time that the satellite altimeters can detect the signal of tsunami wave in the Bay of Bengal and was used to validate the output from the MOST model in the deep ocean. In the case of Thailand, the inundation part of the MOST model was run from Sumatra 2004 for inundation mapping purposes. The medium and high resolution satellite data were used to assess the degree of the damage from Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 with NDVI classification at 6 provinces on the Andaman seacoast of Thailand. With the tide-gauge station data, run-up surveys, bathymetry and coastal topography data and land-use classification from satellite imageries, we can use these information for coastal zone management on evacuation plan and construction code.

미국 서부 지역을 근간으로 도출된 30m 심도까지의 평균 전단파속도(Vs30)는 부지 증폭 정도에 따른 설계 지진 지반 운동 결정을 위한 현행 지반 분류 기준이다. 부지의 Vs30을 산정하기 위해서는 현장탄성파 시험으로부터 적어도 30m 심도까지의 전단파 속도(Vs) 분포를 획득해야 한다. 그러나 많은 경우에서 현장의 불리한 여건 및 적용 시험 기법의 제한으로 인해 Vs분포 결정 심도가 30m에 이르지 못할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 총 72개소 부지들에서 다양한 탄성파 시험 수행을 통해 30m 이상 심도까지 Vs 분포를 획득하여 Vs30과 30m보다 얕은 심도까지의 평균 전단파속도(VsDs)들을 산정하고, 이로부터 Vs30과 VsDs간의 상관관계를 도출하였다. 또한, 모든 Vs 분포 자료의 평균에 근거한 형상 곡선을 작성하여 Vs 분포를 얕은 심도부터 30m까지 외삽할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 얕은 심도 Vs 분포로부터의 Vs30 산정을 위하여 VsDs와 형상 곡선을 이용하는 두 기법은 최하단 Vs를 30m 심도까지 동일하게 연장하는 단순 기법에 비해 편향 정도가 적었으며, 특히 최소 10m 이상 심도까지 확보된 Vs분포의 경우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

최근 우리 정부는 안전한 대한민국이라는 슬로건 아래 지진재해를 포함한 자연재해피해를 최소화하는데 많은 노력을 집중하고 있으며, 이를 위해 산사태 위험도와 액상화 위험도와 같은 지진 시 지반피해 GIS 시스템 데이터가 구축되고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라 전역을 포함하는 지진 시 액상화 위험도를 작성하기 위해서는 수많은 지반시추정보에 대한 적용성 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 액상화 위험도 작성을 위해 인구밀도가 높은 광역지역의 지반증폭계수를 검토하였으며 이를 위해 S시 522개 시추공지반 정보를 수집하여 지반응답해석을 수행하였다. 이때 지반분류는 지반정보의 불확실성을 고려하고자 현행 내진 설계기준에서 제안하고 있는 시추종료 깊이 이후의 지반 정보를 30m로 가정하는 경우와 지반정보의 오리지널 데이터 값만을 이용하는 경우로 나누어 비교하였으며, 타당성 검토 시에는 지반응답해석 결과에 대한 확률분포와 통계분석을 이용하여 수행하였다. 최종적으로 정규분포를 통한 신뢰도 50%, 70%, 90%에 대한 지반증폭계수를 도출하여 액상화 위험도를 도시하였으며, 이를 지반응답해석을 통해 도시한 LPI 액상화 위험도와 비교하여 가장 유사한 값을 추천하였다. 연구결과 제안된 지반증폭계수가 향후 국내 액상화에 대한 연구와 중진지역의 광역지역 액상화 위험도 작성에 큰 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The Fukushima-Daiichi accident shook the world, as a well-known plant design, the General Electric BWR Mark I, was heavily damaged in the tsunami, which followed the Great Japanese Earthquake of 11 March 2011. Plant safety functions were lost and, as both AC and DC failed, manoeuvrability of the plants at the site virtually came to a full stop. The traditional system of Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) failed to protect core and containment, and severe core damage resulted, followed by devastating hydrogen explosions and, finally, considerable radioactive releases. The root cause may not only have been that the design against tsunamis was incorrect, but that the defence against accidents in most power plants is based on traditional assumptions, such as Large Break LOCA as the limiting event, whereas there is no engineered design against severe accidents in most plants. Accidents beyond the licensed design basis have hardly been considered in the various designs, and if they were included, they often were not classified for their safety role, as most system safety classifications considered only design basis accidents. It is, hence, time to again consider the Design Basis Accident, and ask ourselves whether the time has not come to consider engineered safety functions to mitigate core damage accidents. Associated is a proper classification of those systems that do the job. Also associated are safety criteria, which so far are only related to 'public health and safety'; in reality, nuclear accidents cause few casualties, but create immense economical and societal effects-for which there are no criteria to be met. Severe accidents create an environment far surpassing the imagination of those who developed EOPs and SAMG, most of which was developed after Three Mile Island - an accident where all was still in place, except the insight in the event was lost. It requires fundamental changes in our present safety approach and safety thinking and, hence, also in our EOPs and SAMG, in order to prevent future 'Fukushimas'.

A new type of moment-resisting bolted connection was developed for use in composite steel- concrete construction to connect composite open section steel beams to concrete filled steel square tubular columns. The connection was made possible using anchored blind bolts along with two through bolts. It was designed to act compositely with the in-situ reinforced concrete slab to achieve an enhanced stiffness and strength. The developed connection was incorporated in the design of a medium rise (five storey) commercial building which was located in low to medium seismicity regions. The lateral load resisting system for the design building consisted of moment resisting frames in two directions. A major full scale test on a sub-assembly of a perimeter moment-resisting frame of the model building was conducted to study the system behaviour incorporating the proposed connection. The behaviour of the proposed connection and its interaction with the floor slab under cyclic loading representing the earthquake events with return periods of 500 years and 2500 years was investigated. The proposed connection was categorized as semi rigid for unbraced frames based on the classification method presented in Eurocode 3. Furthermore, the proposed connection, composite with the floor slab, successfully provided adequate lateral load resistance for the model building.

A wireless sensing system is designed for application to structural monitoring and damage detection applications. Embedded in the wireless monitoring module is a two-tier prediction model, the auto-regressive (AR) and the autoregressive model with exogenous inputs (ARX), used to obtain damage sensitive features of a structure. To validate the performance of the proposed wireless monitoring and damage detection system, two near full scale single-story RC-frames, with and without brick wall system, are instrumented with the wireless monitoring system for real time damage detection during shaking table tests. White noise and seismic ground motion records are applied to the base of the structure using a shaking table. Pattern classification methods are then adopted to classify the structure as damaged or undamaged using time series coefficients as entities of a damage-sensitive feature vector. The demonstration of the damage detection methodology is shown to be capable of identifying damage using a wireless structural monitoring system. The accuracy and sensitivity of the MEMS-based wireless sensors employed are also verified through comparison to data recorded using a traditional wired monitoring system.

This paper reports on the results of a parametric study, which examines the effects of varying aspect ratios on the dynamic response of cylindrical silos directly supported on the ground under earthquake loading. Previous research has shown that numerical models can provide considerably realistic simulations when it comes to the behavior of silos by using correct boundary conditions, appropriate element types and material models. To this end, a three dimensional numerical model, taking into account the bulk material-silo wall interaction, was produced by the ANSYS commercial program, which is in turn based on the finite element method. The results obtained from the numerical analysis are discussed comparatively in terms of dynamic material pressure, horizontal displacement, equivalent base shear force and equivalent bending moment responses for considered aspect ratios. The effects experienced because of the slenderness of the silo in regards to the seismic response were evaluated along with the effectiveness of the classification system proposed by Eurocode in evaluating the loads on the vertical walls. Results clearly show that slenderness directly affects the seismic response of such structures especially in terms of behavior and the magnitude of the responses. Furthermore the aspect ratio value of 2.0, given as a behavioral changing limit in the technical literature, can be used as a valid limit for seismic behavior.

Liquefaction phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which excess pore water pressure occurs when a dynamic load such as an earthquake is rapidly applied to a loose sandy soil ground where the ground is saturated, and the ground loses effective stress and becomes liquid. The laboratory repetition test for liquefaction evaluation can be performed through a repeated triaxial compression test and a repeated shear test. In this regard, this study attempted to evaluate the effects of the relative density of sand on the liquefaction resistance strength according to particle size distribution using repeated triaxial compression tests, and additional experimental verification using numerical analysis was conducted to overcome the limitations of experimental equipment. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the liquefaction resistance strength increased as the relative density increased regardless of the classification of soil, and the liquefaction resistance strength of the SP sample close to SW was quite high. As a result of numerical analysis, it was confirmed that the liquefaction resistance strength increased as the confining pressure increased under the same relative density, and the liquefaction resistance strength did not decrease below a certain limit even though the confining pressure was significantly reduced at a relatively low relative density. This is judged to be due to a change in confining pressure according to the depth of the ground. As a result of analyzing the liquefaction resistance strength according to the frequency range, it was confirmed that there was no significant difference from the laboratory experiment results in the basic range of 0.1 to 1.0 Hz.
