A technique for the seismic reliability evaluation of electric power transmission systems(EPTS) adapted to ground motion characteristics of Korea has been developed to evaluate reliability indices corresponding to the whole system and to each node within. A network model with nodes and links for EPTS has been established, and a seismic substation-fragility curve obtained from seismic fragilities of power system facilities has been derived. A point source model, the doubly truncated Gutenberg-Richter relationship, and earthquake intensity attenuation formula have been applied to simulate seismic events. Using Monte-Carlo simulation method, the seismic reliability of EPTS is evaluated and, it appeared that seismic effect on EPTS in low and moderate seismicity regions has to be considered.

Recently, a tendency for development of seismic approach of foreign countries is capacity design development. Capacity design is rational seismic design concept of capacity protection considering not only earthquake magnitude, but also behavior of structure. For that reason, the most bridge seismic design specifications contain capacity protection provisions explicitly or implicitly. The capacity protection is normally related with slenderness effect of the columns, force transfer in connections between columns and adjacent elements, and shear design of columns. It intends to prevent brittle failure of the structural components of bridges, so that the whole bridge system may show ductile behavior and failure during earthquake events. The objectives of this paper are to deduce needed provisions for the moderate seismicity regions such as Korea after studying current seismic design codes and to establish rational criteria provisions of seismic design for future revision of seismic design specifications.

The components of the seismic behavior factor of RC frames are expected to change as structural redundancy increases. Most researches indicate that increasing redundancy is desirable in response to stochastic events such as earthquake loading. The present paper investigated the effect of redundancy on a fixed plan for seismic behavior factor components and the nonlinear behavior of RC frames. The 3D RC moment resistant frames with equal lateral resistance were designed to examine the role of redundancy in earthquake-resistant design and to distinguish it from total overstrength capacity. The seismic behavior factor and dynamic behavior of structures under natural strong ground motions were numerically evaluated as the judging criteria for structural seismic behavior. The results indicate that increasing redundancy alone in a fixed plan cannot be defined as a criterion for improving the structural seismic behavior.

기존 구조물의 내진보강을 경제적으로 수행 위해서는 내진성능을 보다 정확하게 평가하는 것이 필요하다. 우리나라 도로교의 내진성능은 "기존교량의 내진성 평가 요령"에 의해 평가되고 있으며, 이는 이를 활용할 당시 기술자의 기술수준을 고려하여 비교적 간단한 방법이 채택되었다. 최근에는 입력지진의 불확실성을 고려하여 내진성능을 확률적으로 평가하는 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. 일반적으로 구조물은 지반의 영향을 무시하고 모델화되거나 때로는 지반을 탄성스프링으로 모델화하여 응답에 대한 지반의 영향을 고려하고 있다. 그러나 지반도 지진시 비선형특성을 나타내므로 교량의 응답특성을 보다 정확하게 평가하기 위해서는 이를 고려할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진세기에 따른 지반의 비선형성을 등가의 선형스프링으로 모델화하여 6경간연속교를 대상으로 하여 지진해석을 수행하였으며, 교각의 파괴 및 낙교에 대한 지진취약도의 특성변화를 확률적으로 평가하였다.

이산 웨이브릿 변환은 탄성파 신호를 분석하고 파의 성분을 구분하는 도구로 사용이 가능하다. 이산 웨이브릿 변환은 푸리에 변환에 비해 신호의 변화 시점을 인식할 수 있는 장점을 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 신호에 이산 웨이프릿 변환을 적용하여 초동과 S파 등 파의 구성 성분을 인지하고 주시를 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 정확한 지층 속도의 결정은 정확한 주시 결정에서 비롯되며, 이는 탄성파 속도분석, 굴절법 탐사, 탄성파 토모그래피, 다운홀 탐사, 크로스홀 탐사, 음파 검층 등 탄성파를 활용하는 각종 지구물리탐사 분야에 있어서 해석에 대한 신뢰도를 크게 증진시킬 수 있다. 잡음이 있는 경우와 없는 경우의 인공합성 탄성파 신호에 대한 P파와 S파의 주시 결정을 시도한 결과, 잡음이 많은 탄성파 신호에도 본 알고리즘이 적용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 잡음이 많이 포함된 현장 자료에서도 초동을 정확하게 결정할 수 있었다

An earthquake of $M_L$ 5.8 hit the Gyeongju area on September 12, 2016. A sequence of foreshock-mainshock-aftershock of 588 events with equal to or greater than magnitude 1.5 occurred for six months in this area. Around ninety-nine percentage (98.8%) of the total energy was released intensively within a day, and about 80% of the total events took place within a month after the Gyeongju earthquake. The epicentral distribution of aftershocks of major events ($M_L$ 5.1, 5.8, 4.5, and 3.5) were elongated in the direction of $N30^{\circ}E$. They correlate well with the focal mechanism solution. These facts support the inference that the Gyeongju earthquakes occurred on a sub-parallel subsidiary fault of the Yangsan fault zone or on the linking damage zones between Deokcheon and Yangsan fault. During the last six years before the Gyeongju earthquake, there were few events within 10-km radius from the epicenter. This seismic gap area was filled with a sequence of the Gyeongju earthquakes. The b value for aftershock of the Gyeongju earthquakes is 1.09.

The standard of performance-based seismic design accepted by Ministry of Construction and Transport requires to install and manage earthquake instruments for the facilities of seismic category I and to acquire earthquake response data of these facilities at earthquake events. So detailed standard and guideline for installation and management of earthquake instruments for each facilities according to the seismic design standard are getting ready. This paper presents the part of installation locations of sensors in that detaile standard and guideline.

Artificial blasts, defined as seismo-acoustic events, were discriminated from natural earthquakes in the Korean Peninsula by the seismo-acoustic analysis. Total 197 seismo-acoustic events corresponding to 9 percent of seismic events in 2002 were analyzed and classified as artificial surface blasts. Events distribution pattern of the seismo-acoustic events in 2002 was similar to the previous result in 1999-2001, except for two regions. Newly determined seismo-acoustic events were added to the previous artificial blast database. To extend infrasound detection capability, new small-scale infrasound array(TJIAR) was installed in KIGAM. Preliminary analysis for the small array was conducted to discriminate artificial blasts in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula. The small array discriminated S seismo-acoustic events during short period analysis. And two infrasound arrays(TJIAR and CHNAR) were used to determine approximate sound source location by cross bearing method.

In this paper, a design concept of post-tensioned precast bridge piers was proposed to improve seismic behavior of the bridge pier. Mild reinforcing bars are placed continuously along the height of the column. Prestressing tendons are also provided to obtain re-centering capability for seismic events. Arrangement of the axial steels to prevent buckling of rebars at plastic hinge region was suggested and enhanced seismic performance was verified by experiments. Moment-curvature analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of effective prestress on seismic behavior after verifying the calculation method by cyclic tests of the precast columns. A real bridge pier was designed to investigate the seismic performance according to different level of effective prestress. Level of effective prestress showed obvious effect on crushing displacement but negligible effect on lateral displacement at fracture of tendons and reinforcements.

This paper examines the contribution of three sources of uncertainties to probabilistic seismic behaviour of wood frame buildings, including ground motions, intensity and seismic mass. This sensitivity analysis is performed using three methods, including the traditional method based on the conditional distributions of ground motions at given intensity measures, a method using the summation of conditional distributions at given ground motion records, and the Monte Carlo simulation. FEMA P-695 ground motions and its scaling methods are used in the analysis. Two archetype buildings are used in the sensitivity analysis, including a two-storey building and a four-storey building. The results of these analyses indicate that using data-fitting techniques to obtain probability distributions may cause some errors. Linear interpolation combined with data-fitting technique may be employed to improve the accuracy of the calculated exceeding probability. The procedures can be used to quantify the risk of wood frame buildings in seismic events and to calibrate seismic design provisions towards design code improvement.
