2010년 2월 9일 수도권에서 모멘트 규모 3.1 지진이 발생했다. 수도권 지역에서는 계기지진 관측이 시작된 후 오랫동안 유감지진 보고가 없었기 때문에, 이 지진은 수도권의 지진 위험성과 위해성을 상기시키는 계기가 되었다. 수도권은 약 2천 5백만 명의 인구밀집지역으로서 인구수 측면에서 본다면 세계에서 가장 큰 대도시 중 하나이다. 이 지진이 발생한 위치에서 규모 6.5의 지진이 발생했음을 가정하여 지진동을 시뮬레이션 해보면, 많은 인구와 구조물의 취약성으로 인하여 서울을 포함한 수도권 지역은 매우 심각한 위해성을 가지고 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구의 동기를 제공한 시흥 지진이 피해를 야기할 수 있는 주요 지진으로 간주될 수는 없지만, 이 지역의 역사적 지진기록과 최근 지진발생 현황에 비추어 볼 때 그 중요성을 간과해서는 안 된다. 또한 수도권처럼 지진발생이 많지 않은 곳에서는 기존의 지진관측망으로 감시하는 지진보다 작은 규모의 지진을 지진위험성 및 위해성 평가에 사용할 것을 제안한다.

The metadata for urban meteorological observation is standardized through comparison with those established at the World Meteorological Organization and the Korea Meteorological Administration to understand the surrounding environment around the sites exactly and maintain the networks and sites efficiently. It categorizes into metadata for an observational network and observational sites. The latter is again divided into the metadata for station general information, local scale information, micro scale information, and visual information in order to explain urban environment in detail. The metadata also contains the static information such as urban structure, surface cover, metabolism, communication, building density, roof type, moisture/heat sources, and traffic as well as the update information on the environment change, maintenance, replacement, and/or calibration of sensors. The standardized metadata for urban meteorological observation is applied to the Weather Information Service Engine (WISE) integrated meteorological sensor network and sites installed at Incheon area. It will be very useful for site manager as well as researchers in fields of urban meteorology, radiation, surface energy balance, anthropogenic heat, turbulence, heat storage, and boundary layer processes.

While most of researches on system identification of building structures are aimed at finding modal parameters first and identifying the corresponding physical parameters by using the transformation in terms of transfer functions and cross spectra, etc., direct physical parameter system identification methods have been proposed recently. Due to the problem of signal/noise (SN) ratios, the previous methods are restricted mostly to earthquake records or forced vibration data. In this paper, a theoretical investigation is performed on the influence of wind disturbances on stiffness identification of building structures using micro-tremor at limited floors. It is concluded that the influence of wind disturbances on stiffness identification of building structures using micro-tremor at limited floors is restricted in case of using time-series data for low-rise buildings and does not cause serious problems.

본 논문은 다양한 지진 이벤트 분류를 위해 지진 데이터의 정적인 특성과 동적인 특성을 동시에 반영할 수 있는 합성곱 순환 신경망(Convolutional Recurrent Neural Net, CRNN) 구조를 제안한다. 중규모 지진뿐만 아니라 미소 지진, 인공 지진을 포함한 지진 이벤트 분류 문제를 해결하려면 효과적인 특징 추출 및 분류 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 주의 기반 합성곱 레이어를 통해 지진 데이터의 정적 특성을 추출 하게 된다. 추출된 특징은 다중 입력 단일 출력 장단기메모리(Long Short-Term Memory, LSTM) 네트워크 구조에 순차적으로 입력되어 다양한 지진 이벤트 분류를 위한 동적 특성을 추출하게 되며 완전 연결 레이어와 소프트맥스 함수를 통해 지진 이벤트 분류를 수행한다. 국내외 지진을 이용한 모의 실험 결과 제안된 모델은 다양한 지진 이벤트 분류에 효과적인 모습을 보여 주었다.

Social media is being increasingly utilized in disaster relief work to identify safety issues, locate displaced-victims, and seek or provide support for those who need help. The presence of social media in disaster management has changed significantly in recent years, as it was not prevalent in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, but had become a powerful force in the 2013 Ya'an earthquake. This paper discusses the development of social media in disaster management via making a comparison between how it functioned in the two earthquakes. It examines the following aspects: who are the stakeholders that use social media in the earthquake management; how do they adopt this means in response to the earthquakes; and what are the outcomes of adopting social media with regards to public engagement and collaboration in an emergency event. As Sina Weibo acts as the equivalent of China's Twitter, the methodology relies on an analysis of posts in Weibo. The outcomes primarily show that: (1) authorities, celebrities and the public actively adopted social media for the purpose of information dissemination and resource mobilization; and (2) social media users are both content consumers and content generators in the times of earthquakes. The study concludes that social media as a backchannel communication tool is helpful for government institutions, corporations, and nonprofit organizations to build relationships with their stakeholders in the disaster management cycle. The result will interest academics and emergency management practitioners who are concerned with improving disaster communication.

본 논문에서는 원전내부의 내진범주 1급 계전기를 포함하고 있는 캐비닛 구조물의 최적내진보강에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 지진시 계전기는 구조적인 파괴보다는 떨림에 의한 기능적 파괴가 발생한다. 이를 방지하기 위해서는 캐비닛구조물의 응답을 적정 수준이하로 감소시켜야 하므로 다양한 감쇠보강의 설치패턴에 따라 최적의 감쇠계수를 ${\mu}$-GA(micro-Genetic Algorithm)기법을 이용하여 산정하였다. 대상캐비닛 구조물은 해석의 정확도와 계산의 효율성을 만족시키기 위해 이용한 프레임구조로 모델링되었다. 구조물의 응답은 감쇠기의 비선형거동을 고려한 비선형 시간이력해석에 의해 얻어진 가속도응답스펙트럼으로 나타내었다. 목적함수는 구조물의 해석에서 얻어진 응답스펙트럼의 최대값과 목표 포괄기기내진력 스펙트럼 (GERS; General Equipment Ruggedness Spectra)의 최대응답비를 기초로 작성되었다. 해석결과 적절한 보강패턴을 선정한 경우 좋은 적합도의 향상을 보였으며 특히 감쇠지수의 값이 작은 경우 적합도의 개선효과가 뛰어났다.

Nowadays, there are a great number of various structures that have been retrofitted by using different FRP Composites. Due to this, more researches need to be conducted to know more the characteristics of these structures, not only that but also a comparison among them before and after the retrofitting is needed. In this research, a model steel structure is tested using a bench-scale earthquake simulator on the shake table, using recorded micro tremor data, in order to get the dynamic behaviors. Beams of the model steel structure are then retrofitted by using CFRP composite, and then tested on the Quanser shake table by using the recorded micro tremor data. At this stage, it is needed to evaluate the dynamic behaviors of the retrofitted model steel structure. Various types of methods of OMA, such as EFDD, SSI, etc. are used to take action in the ambient responses. Having a purpose to learn more about the effects of FRP composite, experimental model analysis of both types (retrofitted and no-retrofitted models) is conducted to evaluate their dynamic behaviors. There is a provision of ambient excitation to the shake table by using recorded micro tremor ambient vibration data on ground level. Furthermore, the Enhanced Frequency Domain decomposition is used through output-only modal identification. At the end of this study, moderate correlation is obtained between mode shapes, periods and damping ratios. The aim of this research is to show and determine the effects of CFRP Composite implementation on structural responses of the model steel structure, in terms of changing its dynamical behaviors. The frequencies for model steel structure and the retrofitted model steel structure are shown to be 34.43% in average difference. Finally, it is shown that, in order to evaluate the period and rigidity of retrofitted structures, OMA might be used.

The electric coupling between the lithosphere and the ionosphere is examined. The electric field is considered as a timevarying irregular vertical Coulomb field presumably produced on the Earth's surface before an earthquake within its epicentral zone by some micro-processes in the lithosphere. It is shown that the Fourier component of this electric field with a frequency of 500 Hz and a horizontal scale-size of 100 km produces in the nighttime ionosphere of high and middle latitudes a transverse electric field with a magnitude of ~20 mV/m if the peak value of the amplitude of this Fourier component is just 30 V/m. The time-varying vertical Coulomb field with a frequency of 500 Hz penetrates from the ground into the ionosphere by a factor of ${\sim}7{\times}10^5$ more efficient than a time independent vertical electrostatic field of the same scale size. The transverse electric field with amplitude of 20 mV/m will cause perturbations in the nighttime F region electron density through heating the F region plasma resulting in a reduction of the downward plasma flux from the protonosphere and an excitation of acoustic gravity waves.

A reinforced concrete water tank is a typical functional liquid storage structure and cracks are the greatest threat to the liquid storage structure. Tanks are readily cracked due to seismic activity, thereby leading to the leakage of the stored liquid and a loss of function. In order to study the effect of cracks on liquid storage tanks, self-healing and leakage tests for bending cracks and through cracks in the walls of a reinforced concrete water tank were conducted. Material performance tests were also performed. The self-healing performance of bending cracks in a lentic environment and through cracks in a lotic environment were tested, thereby the self-healing width of bending micro-cracks in the lentic environment in the short term were determined. The through cracks had the capacity for self-healing in the lotic environment was found. The leakage characteristics of the bending cracks and through cracks were tested with the actual water head on the crack. The effects on liquid leakage of the width of bending cracks, the depth of the compression zone, and the acting head were determined. The relationships between the leakage rate and time with the height of the water head were analyzed. Based on the tests, the relationships between the crack characteristics and self-healing as well as the leakage were obtained. Thereby the references for water tank structure design and grading earthquake damage were provided.

The Finite Element (FE) modeling of Reinforced Concrete (RC) under seismic loading has a sensitive impact in terms of getting good contribution compared to experimental results. Several idealized model types for simulating the nonlinear response have been developed based on the plasticity distribution alone the model. The Continuum Models are the most used category of modeling, to understand the seismic behavior of structural elements in terms of their components, cracking patterns, hysteretic response, and failure mechanisms. However, the material modeling, contact and nonlinear analysis strategy are highly complex due to the joint operation of concrete and steel. This paper presents a numerical simulation of a chosen RC column under monotonic and cyclic loading using the FE Abaqus, to assessthe hysteretic response and failure mechanisms in the RC columns, where the perfect bonding option is used for the contact between concrete and steel. While results of the numerical study under cyclic loading compared to experimental tests might be unsuccessful due to the lack of bond-slip modeling. The monotonic loading shows a good estimation of the envelope response and deformation components. In addition, this work further demonstrates the advantage and efficiency of the damage distributions since the obtained damage distributions fit the expected results.
