기존의 액상화 평가법은 대부분 미국, 일본, 그리고 유럽과 같이 지진 발생빈도가 높고 그로 인한 액상화 피해가 빈번한 국가에서 주도적으로 연구되어왔다. 이런 지역적 특성을 토대로 개발된 액상화 평가방법들은 높은 지진규모(M=7.5)에 바탕을 두고 있다. 국내의 경우, 1997년 실제적인 내진 연구가 시작된 이래 액상화 평가의 구체적 규정은 항만시설의 내진설계 표준서(1999)에 언급된 바 있으나 이는 문헌연구를 통해 제시된 것으로 실제적이지 못하다. 그러므로, 국내 적합한 설계기준을 작성하기 위해서는 지진피해자료의 부족을 국내 지반을 대상으로 한 동적실내시험을 통하는 것이 바람직하며, 일반적인 정현하중 진동시험 보다 실제 지진하중 재하 시험이 훨씬 효과적일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 지진파 고유의 특성을 적용한 진동삼축 시험을 통하여 상대밀도와 세립분함유량의 변화에 따른 액상화 저항강도를 산정하였다. 실험결과를 국내의 대표적인 항만지역의 지진응답 해석 결과와 비교 분석하고 중진지역에 적합한 액상화 평가의 생략기준을 제시하였다. 또한 실제 지진하중 삼축실험 결과를 이용하여 국내 여건에 적합한 지진규모 보정계수를 제안하였다.

Damages to buildings affected by a near-fault strong ground motion are largely attributed to the vertical component of the earthquake resulting in column failures, which could lead to disproportionate building catastrophic collapse in a progressive fashion. Recently, considerable interests are awakening to study effects of earthquake vertical components on structural responses. In this study, detailed modeling and time-history analyses of a 12-story code-conforming reinforced concrete moment frame building carrying the gravity loads, and exposed to once only the horizontal component of, and second time simultaneously the horizontal and vertical components of an ensemble of far-field and near-field earthquakes are conducted. Structural responses inclusive of tension, compression and its fluctuations in columns, the ratio of shear demand to capacity in columns and peak mid-span moment demand in beams are compared with and without the presence of the vertical component of earthquake records. The influences of the existence of earthquake vertical component in both exterior and interior spans are separately studied. Thereafter, the correlation between the increase of demands induced by the vertical component of the earthquake and the ratio of a set of earthquake record characteristic parameters is investigated. It is shown that uplift initiation and the magnitude of tensile forces developed in corner columns are relatively more critical. Presence of vertical component of earthquake leads to a drop in minimum compressive force and initiation of tension in columns. The magnitude of this reduction in the most critical case is recorded on average 84% under near-fault ground motions. Besides, the presence of earthquake vertical components increases the shear capacity required in columns, which is at most 31%. In the best case, a direct correlation of 95% between the increase of the maximum compressive force and the ratio of vertical to horizontal 'effective peak acceleration (EPA)' is observed.

지진조기경보는 빠르게 도달하는 P파를 감지하고 이보다 느리게 전파되는 S파가 도달하기 전 알림을 주는 기술이다. 초기에 도달한 P파의 진폭과 우세주기를 통해 신속하게 규모와 진원을 추정하고 이를 기준으로 경보 혹은 속보를 전송하기에 P파의 분석은 신속한 지진정보에 생산에 중요한 요소이다. 하지만, 국외에서 발생한 큰 규모의 지진이 국내 관측망에서는 P파의 진폭이 크게 감쇠되어 관측되며, 이는 초기 분석단계에서 실제 규모보다 작은 국내 발생 지진으로 오분석 될 수 있다. 오분석의 결과가 그대로 수요자(국민)에게 오경보(false alarm)로 발송될 경우 지진조기경보서비스의 신뢰도를 저하 시킬 수 있으며, 신속대응이 필요한 사회 인프라시설 및 산업시설에는 경제적 손실을 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 오분석을 최대한 줄이기 위한 기술개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 주파수-이격거리에 따른 감쇠특성을 이용한 필터뱅크(Filter Bank)를 사용하여 국내외 지진에 대한 분류 가능성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 기상청 지진관측소에 기록된 2 < M_L ≦ 3의 국내지진 463개, 44개(3 < M_L ≦ 4), 4개(4 < M_L ≦ 5), 3개(M_L > 5)와 국외지진 89개를 사용하여 각 주파수영역에 따른 최대 P_v값을 산정하고 이를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 기본 설정 값보다 3번(6-12Hz)과 6번(0.75-1.5Hz) 밴드를 사용할 때 국내외 지진을 정확하게 분류할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, to estimate the combination of earthquake magnitude ($M_w$) and distance (R) corresponding to the design spectrum defined in Korean Building Code (KBC) 2016, the response spectra predicted from the attenuation relationships with the variation of $M_w$ (5.0~7.0) and R (10~30km) are compared with the design spectrum in KBC 2016. Four attenuation relationships, which were developed based on local site characteristics and seismological parameters in Southern Korea and Eastern North America (ENA), are used. As a result, the scenario ground motions represented by the combinations of $M_w$ and R corresponding to the design spectrum for Seoul defined in KBC 2016 are estimated as (1) when R =10 km, $M_w=6.2{\sim}6.7$; (2) when R = 15 km, $M_w=6.5{\sim}6.9$; and (3) when R = 20 km, $M_w=6.7{\sim}7.1$.

The KIER's Korean historical earthquake catalog was revised for MMI${\geq}$VI events recorded from the years 27 A.D. to 1904. the magnitude of each event was directly determined from the criteria suggested by Seo. The criteria incorporated the damage phenomena of the Japanese historical earthquake catalog, recent seismological studies, and the results of tests performed on ancient structures in Korea. Thus, the uncertainty of the magnitudes of the Korean historical earthquakes can be reduced. Also, the Gutenberg-Richter parameter values were estimated based on the revised catalog of this study. It was determined that the magnitudes of a maximum inland and minimum offshore event were approximately 6.3 and 6.5, respectively. The Gutenberg-Richter parameter pairs of the historical earthquake catalog were estimated to be a=5.32${\pm}$0.21, b=0.95${\pm}$0.19, which were somewhat lower than those obtained from recent complete instrumental earthquakes. No apparent change in the Gutenberg-Richter parameter is observed for the $16^{th}-17^{th}$ centuries of the seismically active period.

A destructive earthquake, the magnitude of this earthquake was 7.2, hit Van, Turkey on October 23, 2011. After this devastating earthquake, a moderate earthquake which had 5.7 magnitude on November 9, 2011 occurred in Edremit, Van. These earthquakes caused heavy damages and collapses in many reinforced concrete buildings with loss of lives. In this paper, characteristics of ground motions of these earthquakes were studied and, deficiencies in structural elements and engineering faults such as poor workmanship and quality of construction, soft and weak stories, strong beam-weak column, short column, large overhang, hammering and unconfined gable wall were investigated. According to the observations, it was seen that, low quality of structural materials, lack of engineering services, inappropriate design and construction with insufficient detailing of the structural elements were the main reasons of heavy damages.

The epicentral region of earthquakes is typically where liquefaction-related damage takes place. To determine the maximum distance, such as maximum epicentral distance (R_e), maximum fault distance (R_f), or maximum hypocentral distance (R_h), at which an earthquake can inflict damage, given its magnitude, this study, using a recently updated global liquefaction database, multiple ML models are built to predict the limiting distances (R_e, R_f, or R_h) required for an earthquake of a given magnitude to cause damage. Four machine learning models LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), and XGB (Extreme Gradient Boosting) are developed using the Python programming language. All four proposed ML models performed better than empirical models for limiting distance assessment. Among these models, the XGB model outperformed all the models. In order to determine how well the suggested models can predict limiting distances, a number of statistical parameters have been studied. To compare the accuracy of the proposed models, rank analysis, error matrix, and Taylor diagram have been developed. The ML models proposed in this paper are more robust than other current models and may be used to assess the minimal energy of a liquefaction disaster caused by an earthquake or to estimate the maximum distance of a liquefied site provided an earthquake in rapid disaster mapping.

For earthquake hazard estimation the data containing large historical events and recent complete observations with various uncertainty should be used together. The traditional maximum likelihood method is not adequate for this kind work. The maximum probable earthquakes in the Korean Peninsula are estimated by the method of an extended maximum likelihood estimation. The method can handle data with various uncertainty. The maximum probable earthquake in the Korean Peninsula is appeared to be 7.14$\pm$0.34 in magnitude.

An assessment of liquefaction potential is made in principle by comparing earthquake induced shear stress to the liquefaction strength of the soil. In this research a modified method based on Seed and Idriss theory is developed for evaluating liquefaction strength of Jumunjon sand(Korean standard sand). Also the factors affecting liquefaction strenght such as cyclic shear stress amplitude and relative density are investigated and verified by using cyclic triaxial test. From the result the new relationships between cyclic shear stress ratio and number of load cycles are proposed for evaluating liquefaction strength under moderated magnitude(M=6.5) of earthquake.

This paper Is to help the structural engineers for a better understanding of "Earthquake" with regard to the nature o( earthquake and the effect of earthquake on building structures. This reveals that the damage Inflicted upon by earthquake varies with many factors such as : magnitude of earthquake, distance from epicenter, site conditions, building structural characteristics and etc.. It is emphasized that in order to resist very strong earthquake, the ductility demand in the building structure Is important, and the proper duc-tility enables the structure to demonstrate inelastic rotation capacity of the joints and thus the structure may absorb and dissipate the seismic energy. This also presents a comparison between the current Americal UBC Code and the Korean Code, and the author expresses some points of concern on each code. Since earthquake almost invariably strikes at times and places, it is suggested that the current Korean Build-ing Code should be revised to enforce more stringent regulation against possible strong earthquake in the Korean peninsula.
