Two seismic response data from the CSMIP strong motion instrumentation of Pacoima dam are selected: San Fernando earthquake (Jan 13, 2001; ML=4.3) and Newhall earthquake (Sept. 1, 2011; ML=4.2), for the identification of the dam system. To consider the spatially nonuniform input ground motion along the dam abutment, the subspace identification technique with multiple-input and multiple-output is used to extract the dynamic behavior of the dam-reservoir interaction system. It is observed that the dam-reservoir interaction is significant from the identification of San Fernando earthquake data. The influence of added mass (from the reservoir) during strong ground motion will create a tuned-mass damper phenomenon on the dam body. The fundamental frequency of the dam will be tuned to two different frequencies but with the same mode shapes. As for the small earthquake event, the dam-reservoir interaction is insignificant.

The objective of this study is to analysis the seismic response of 200m spanned honeycomb lattice domes under horizontal and up-down ground motion of El Centro earthquake. For the analysis of seismic response of the honeycomb lattice domes by rise/span ratio, the time history analysis is used for the estimation of the dynamic response. The low rise lattice dome is less deformed and less stressed than the high rise lattice dome for the earthquake ground motion. The 3-dimensional earthquake response is not significantly different the dynamic response of one directional ground motion. The earthquake response of domes with LRB isolation system is significantly reduced for the asymmetric vertical deformation and the horizontal and vertical accelerations.

The 2017 Pohang earthquake afflicted more significant economic losses than the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, even if these earthquakes had a similar moment magnitude. This phenomenon could be due to local site conditions that amplify ground motions. Local site effects could be estimated from methods using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio, standard spectral ratio, and the generalized inversion technique. Since the generalized inversion method could estimate the site effect effectively, this study modeled the site effects in the Korean peninsula using the generalized inversion technique and the Fourier amplitude spectrum of ground motions. To validate the method, the site effects estimated for seismic stations were tested using recorded ground motions, and a ground motion prediction equation was developed without considering site effects.

The "Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral (KIGAM) Quake" is a web-based open platform developed for publicly serving seismological data from 61 stations operated by KIGAM in Korea. The service provides meta-information related to observatory sites, sensors, and recorders necessary for utilizing the seismological data, as well as mainly observed continuous and strong-motion waveforms. The data is available through both the web and International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) web services (open API), a unified data-providing interface in seismology. The platform aims to strengthen its open nature by offering a signal processing function for strong ground motions that can be controlled by user requests. The processed results can be downloaded in ASCII format, designed to meet the increased demands and accessibility in the earthquake engineering field. The platform also offers earthquake research information produced by KIGAM, such as recent major earthquake source information and academic annual report of earthquakes. Additionally, a site flat file was constructed for the geotechnical characteristics of 61 KIGAM station (KGNET) sites based on direct investigations and estimations.

This paper illustrates the results of a seismic vulnerability study aimed to derive the fragility curves for typical Algerian reinforced concrete bridge piers using an analytical approach. Fragility curves express the probability of exceeding a certain damage state for a given ground motion intensity (e.g., PGA). In this respect, a set of 41 worldwide accelerometer records from which, 21 Algerian strong motion records are included, have been used in a non-linear dynamic response analyses to assess the damage indices expressed in terms of the bridge displacement ductility, the ultimate ductility, the cyclic loading factor and the cumulative energy ductility. Combining the damage indices defined for 5 damage rank with the ground motion indices, the fragility curves for the bridge piers were derived assuming a lognormal distribution.

Ground motions with the near fault effects are studied for the seismic design and the analysis of structures. The characteristics of the velocity pulse by the forward directivity are studied and the relations between velocity pulse and earthquake magnitude are investigated. The elastic response spectra of the near fault ground motion are compared with these of the far fault ground motion. And effects on the behaviors of structures are studied by the analysis of the elastic and the inelastic single degree of freedom system in terms of the response spectrum and the ductility demand.

The response spectrum has been widely used to differentiate the significant characteristics of earthquake ground motion and to evaluate the response of structures under ground shaking. Current design response spectrum is based on Seed, Ugas, and Lysmer's study. (1976) In this study, earthquake ground motion data sets adopted by Seed, Miranda, and Riddell is analyzed regards to soil types. And how earthquake data sets effected the design response spectrum is evaluated using acceleration-displacement response spectrum.

For stochastic strong ground motion simulation, frequency-dependent Q model (= $Q_{o}$ $f^{η}$) were evaluated for major geographical blocks according to the epicentral distance ranges by using a lateral Q tomography technique. The inversed Q results were used to qualitatively identify seismic albedos of each Q blocks and were compared with the previous Q studies. In addition, a functional Q model calibrated to the low frequency spectra of local earthquakes were suggested especially for use in analysing large and distant regional earthquake events.s.

지반가속도의 초당 최대값은 최근 제정된 지진재해대책법에 따라 지진기록계로부터 통신망을 통해 소방방재청으로 실시간 제공되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 현재 PGA를 기반으로 한 신속한 지진피해통보 용도로만 고려되고 있는 지반가속도의 초당 최대값의 추가적인 활용성을 검토하고자, 국내외 강진자료 및 중소규모 지진자료에 대한 초당 100 샘플링된 지반가속도 자료의 1초 구간내 최대 절대값을 30초 동안 적산한 결과($BSPGA_k$)를 CAV(Cumulative Absolute Velocity) 및 진도 등과 비교하였다. CAV는 진도와의 높은 상관성으로 지진발생시 원자력발전소의 운전초과기준으로 사용되고 있으나, 계산시 초당 100 샘플링 이상의 많은 양의 지진파형 디지털 자료를 필요로 하는 단점이 있다. 비교 결과 $BSPGA_k$는 지진규모에 따른 지진동 수준과 상관없이 CAV와 전 범위에서 높은 상관성을 나타내었으며, 다수의 관측소가 연계된 지진관측망 운영시 유용하게 활용될 수 있는 신속 지진피해평가 지진동 파라미터로 확인되었다. 국내 중소규모 유감지진자료에 대한 지진진도 자료와의 비교결과, $BSPGA_k$-진도 상관식을 이용한 진도추정 오차는 CAV-진도 상관식의 진도추정 오차와 유사하였으며, PGA-진도 상관식보다 진도를 신뢰성 있게 추정하였다.
