최근 주요 사회기반시설물로 이루어진 뉴질랜드 Christchurch 지역에 상당히 큰 지반운동을 유발하고 짧은 기간에 연속적으로 발생한 지진충격의 전례 없는 사례가 발생하였으며 특히 액상화 지역에서 발생된 영구지반변형과 하수도관 손상에 관한 방대하고 정확한 자료가 수집되었다. 본 연구에서는 이 지역의 2011년 2월 22일 지진규모($M_w$) 6.2 지진발생 후 얻어진 하수도관 길이 및 손상갯수와 영구지반변형지역에서 지진발생 전후에 얻어진 높은 해상도의 라이다데이터로부터 계산된 지반 각변형과 횡방향 지반변형률의 자료를 바탕으로 지리정보체계(GIS) 모델링과 선형회귀분석을 수행하여 도기와 콘크리트 하수도관의 손상율(손상갯수/1km)을 산정하였다. 연구 결과 두 매설관 모두 지반 각변형과 횡방향 지반변형률에 따라 유사한 경향으로 손상됨을 알 수 있으며 강성이 더 큰 콘크리트 하수도관의 손상이 더 작게 나타남을 알 수 있으며 이러한 선형회귀분석 결과는 추후 지진 시 발생할 수 있는 영구지반변형으로 인한 도기와 콘크리트 하수도관 손상율 예측에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Newmark-type deformation analysis has rarely been done in Korea due to the popularity of simple pseudo-static limit equilibrium analysis and detailed time-history FE/FD dynamic analysis. However, the Korean seismic dam design code updated in 2011 prescribes Newmark-type deformation analysis as a major dynamic analysis method for the seismic evaluation of fill dams. In addition, a design PGA for dynamic analysis is significantly increased in the code. This paper aims to study the seismic evaluation of four existing large fill dams through advanced FEM/Newmark-type deformation analyses for the artificial earthquake time histories with the design PGA of 0.22g. Dynamic soil properties obtained from in-situ geo-physical surveys are applied as input parameters. For the FEM/Newmark analyses, sensitivity analyses are performed to study the effects of input PGA and $G_{max}$ of shell zone on the Newmark deformation. As a result, in terms of deformation, four fill dams are proved to be reasonably safe under the PGA of 0.22g with yield coefficients of 0.136 to 0.187, which are highly resistant for extreme events. Sensitivity analysis as a function of PGA shows that $PGA_{30cm}$ (a limiting PGA to cause the 30 cm of Newmark permanent displacement on the critical slip surface) is a good indicator for seismic safety check. CFRD shows a higher seismic resistance than ECRD. Another sensitivity analysis shows that $G_{max}$ per depth does not significantly affect the site response characteristics, however lower $G_{max}$ profile causes larger Newmark deformation. Through this study, it is proved that the amplification of ground motion within the sliding mass and the location of critical slip surface are the dominant factors governing permanent displacements.

Prediction of soil behavior should be interpreted based on the level of axial strain in the actual ground. Recently numerical methods have been carried out focus on the state of soil failure. However considered the deformation of soil the prior to failure, mostly the small strain occurring in the elastic range is considered. As a result of calculating the deformation modulus to 50% of the maximum unconfined compression strength, Deformation modulus (E50) showed a tendency to increase according to the degree of compaction by region. The Poisson's ratio during loading-unloading was 0.63, which was higher than the literature value of 0.5. For the unconfined compression test under cyclic loading for the measurement of permanent strain, the maximum compression strength was divided into four step and the test was performed by load step. Changes in permanent strain and deformation modulus were checked by the loading-unloading test for each stage. At 90% compaction, the permanent deformation of the SM sample was 0.21 mm, 0.37 mm, 0.6 mm, and 1.35 mm. The SC samples were 0.1 mm, 0.17 mm, 0.42 mm, and 1.66 mm, and the ML samples were 0.48 mm, 0.95 mm, 1.30 mm, and 1.68 mm.

The permanent scatterer SAR interferometry (PSInSAR) technique has been developed more recently and has been applied to monitor slow but consistent ground subsidence. Since PSInSAR has the advantages in terms of baseline and temporal decorrelation, PSInSAR technique using X-band may also provide useful information about a ground deformation in detail. We developed our codes for a persistent scatterer analysis, and then apply to ERS-1/2 C-band data over Las Vegas in order to validate our new developed algorithm. Based on this test, PS technique using X-band observation such as TerraSAR-X or KOMSAT 5 will be developed.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of size and depth of cavities on the pavement failure using the full-scale accelerated pavement testing. METHODS : A full-scale testbed was constructed by installing the artificial cavities at a depth of 0.3 m and 0.7 m from the pavement surface for accelerated pavement testing. The cavities were made of ice with a dimension of 0.5 m*0.5m*0.3m, and the thickness of asphalt and base layer were 0.2 m and 0.3 m, respectively. The ground penetrating radar and endoscope testing were conducted to determine the shape and location of cavities. The falling weight deflectometer testing was also performed on the cavity and intact sections to estimate the difference of structural capacity between the two sections. A wheel loading of 80 kN was applied on the pavement section with a speed of 10 km/h in accelerated pavement testing. The permanent deformation was measured periodically at a given number of repetitions. The correlation between the depth and size of cavities and pavement failure was investigated using the accelerated pavement testing results. RESULTS : It is found from FWD testing that the center deflection of cavity section is 10% greater than that of the intact section, indicating the 25% reduction of modulus in subbase layer due to the occurrence of the cavity. The measured permanent deformation of the intact section is approximately 10 mm at 90,000 load repetitions. However, for a cavity section of 0.7 m depth, a permanent deformation of 30 mm was measured at 90,000 load repetitions, which is three times greater than that of the intact section. At cavity section of 0.3 m, the permanent deformation reached up to approximately 90 mm and an elliptical hole occurred at pavement surface after testing. CONCLUSIONS : This study is aimed at determining the pavement failure mechanism due to the occurrence of cavities under the pavement using accelerated pavement testing. In the future, the accelerated pavement testing will be conducted at a pavement section with different depths and sizes of cavities. Test results will be utilized to establish the criteria of risk in road collapse based on the various conditions.

본 연구에서는 액상화-종방향 영구지반변형에 대한 지중매설관로의 거동특성을 해석하기 위하여 수치해석 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 기존의 연구결과가 간략한 해석식의 제안을 중심으로 진행되어 왔으며 영구지반변형의 형상과 폭에 따라 해석방법이 달라지는 단점을 가지고 있었던 것을 고려한다면, 개발된 수치해석 기법은 다양한 영구지반변형의 형상과 폭을 단일한 알고리즘 내에서 처리할 수 있다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 연속관 형태의 지중매설관로와 주변지반을 보요소와 등가지반강성으로 표현되는 탄-소성 지반 스프링을 이용하여 모형화하였으며, 지진발생시 실측된 지반변형에 기초하여 영구지반변형의 형상을 5가지의 대표적인 형태로 이상화하여 고려하였다. 국내 계기지진피해사례의 부족으로 인하여 영구지반변형의 크기와 지반변형의 폭은 기존의 연구결과를 참조하여 설정하였으며, 국내에서 사용되는 일반적인 강관을 대상으로 지반변형의 형상과 크기 및 폭, 매설관로의 관경, 관두께 등을 변화시켜 가면서 다양한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과, 종방향 영구지반변형에 대한 매설관로의 거동에 미치는 주요 인자들의 영향정도를 평가할 수 있었다.

다중시기에 획득된 SAR 영상을 이용하여 지표에서 발생하는 변위의 시계열 관측을 위한 기법에 대한 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 고정산란체를 이용한 PSInSAR 기법은 구속화된 위상을 이용하기 때문에 알고리즘의 많은 부분이 비선형 방정식을 포함하고 있어, 알고리즘 적용에 많은 주의를 필요로 한다. 특히 알고리즘 첫 단계인 고정산란체 후보의 적합한 선택 여부에 따라 알고리즘의 실행이 크게 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 한편 짧은 기선거리를 갖는 간섭쌍을 사용하는 SBAS 기법은 입력 자료인 불구속화된 간섭도의 정확도에 따라 결과의 신뢰성이 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 시계열 분석에 사용되는 차분간섭도 위상의 unwrapping이 적절하게 수행될 수 있을 경우 SBAS 방법을 사용한 시계열 분석이 적절하며, unwrapping 오차가 발생할 가능성이 높은 좁은 지역에서 발생하는 국지적인 변위 관측에는 고정산란체를 이용하는 PSInSAR 기법이 적절하다. 미국 라스베가스 지역에서 1992년부터 2000년 동안 획득된 51개의 ERS-1/2 SAR 영상을 PSInSAR 기법 및 SBAS 기법에 적용하여 지표변위도를 구하였으며, 이들 간의 비교 분석을 통해 두 방법의 결과는 매우 유사하나, 다소 국지적인 지표변위는 PSInSAR 기법의 관측이 유리한 것으로 판단되었다.

During recent earthquakes, a significant number of concrete structures suffered extensive damage. Conventional reinforced concrete structures are designed for life-time safety that may see permanent inelastic deformation after severe earthquakes. Hence, there is a need to utilize adequate materials that have the ability to tolerate large deformation and get back to their original shape. Super-elastic shape memory alloy (SMA) is a smart material with unique properties, such as the ability to regain undeformed shape by unloading or heating. In this research, four different stories (three, five, seven and nine) of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have been studied and subjected to near-field ground motions. For each building, two different types of reinforcement detailing are considered, including (1) conventional steel reinforcement (RC frame) and (2) steel-SMA reinforcement (SMA RC frame), with SMA bars being used at plastic zones of beams and steel bars in other regions. Nonlinear time history analyses have been performed by "SeismoStruct" finite element software. The results indicate that the application of SMA materials in plastic hinge regions of the beams lead to reduction of the residual displacement and consequently post-earthquake repairs. In general, it can be said that shape memory alloy materials reduce structural damage and retrofit costs.

The use of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers in geotechnical instrumentation is relatively new but on the rise. This paper describes a new MEMS-based system for in situ deformation and vibration monitoring. The system has been developed in an effort to combine recent advances in the miniaturization of sensors and electronics with an established wireless infrastructure for on-line geotechnical monitoring. The concept is based on triaxial MEMS accelerometer measurements of static acceleration (angles relative to gravity) and dynamic accelerations. The dynamic acceleration sensitivity range provides signals proportional to vibration during earthquakes or construction activities. This MEMS-based in-place inclinometer system utilizes the measurements to obtain three-dimensional (3D) ground acceleration and permanent deformation profiles up to a depth of one hundred meters. Each sensor array or group of arrays can be connected to a wireless earth station to enable real-time monitoring as well as remote sensor configuration. This paper provides a technical assessment of MEMS-based in-place inclinometer systems for geotechnical instrumentation applications by reviewing the sensor characteristics and providing small- and full-scale laboratory calibration tests. A description and validation of recorded field data from an instrumented unstable slope in California is also presented.

The safety analysis of an earthquake is carried out during the operation of a subsea pipeline and an onshore pipeline. Several cases are proposed for consideration. In the case of a buried pipeline, permanent ground deformation by the earthquake and an increase of internal pressure by the acceleration of the earthquake should be considered. In the case of a subsea pipeline, a bending moment is caused by liquefaction of the backfill material on a trenched seabed, etc., which results in a high bending moment of the buried pipeline. The bending moment causes the collapse of the subsea pipeline or a leak of crude oil or gas, which results in economic loss due to enormous environmental contamination and social economic loss owing to operation functional failure. Thus, in order to prevent economic loss and operation loss, structurally sensitive design with regard to seismic characteristics must be performed in the buried pipeline in advance, and the negative impact on the buried pipeline must be minimized by conducting a thorough analysis on the seabed and backfilling material selection. Moreover, it is proposed to consider the selection of material properties for the buried pipeline. A more economical review is also required for detailed study.
