An estimation of seismic risk parameters by seismic zones of the Korea Peninsula in order to calculate the seismic hazard values using these was erformed. Seven seismic source zones were selected in consideration of seismicity and geology of Korean Peninsula. The seismicity parameters that should be estimated are maximum intensity, activity rate and b value in the Gutenberg - Richter relation. For computation of these parameters, least square method or maximum likelihood method is applied to the earthquake data in two ways; the one for the data without maximum intensity and the other with maximum intensity. Earthquake data since Choseon Dynasty is regarded as complete and estimation of parameters was made for these data using above two ways. And recently, a new method is published that estimate the seismicity parameters using mixed data containing large historical events and recent complete observations. Therefore, this method is applied to the whole earthquake data of the Korean Peninsula. It turns out that the b value computed considering maximum intensity is slightly lower than that computed considering without maximum intensity, and it becomes still lower when the incomplete data prior to Choseon Dynasty is used. In the case of the activity rates, the values obtained without maximum intensity and that with maximum intensity are similar, though they are lower when the incomplete data is used. The values of maximum intensities are usually lower when considering incomplete data. In the seismic source zone including the Yangsan Fault zone, however, the values are higher when considering the incomplete data.

This paper is a study on the seismic design and test of viscoelastic dampers in regions of moderate seismicity. First moderate seismic waves are generated with measured strong seismic data based on the theory of effective peak acceleration. Then their response spectrums are compared each other to estimate the required damping to attenuate the vibration. As relatively smaller damping is required in the regions of moderate seismicity than in the regions of strong seismicity proper viscoelastic dampers can be designed according to the estimated damping. Finally a test building model is designed and the viscoelastic dampers are installed for the experimental study under moderate and strong earthquakes, It is found that viscoelastic dampers with low damping capacity developed in this study are enough to reduce the building response in regions of moderate seismicity.

본 연구에서는 한반도의 지진활동을 공간 통계학 방법을 이용하여 지진발생의 무작위성에 대한 검정과 집중도의 추정을 수행하였다. 무작위성에 대한 통계적 검정은 검정통계량을 이용한 방법과 경험분포를 이용한 두 가지 방법을 사용하였다. 역사지진과 계기지진의 두 대상자료에 대하여 적용한 결과, 두 자료 모두 무작위적이지 않고 군집적인 분포를 가지고 있는 것으로 판명되었다. 한편 비모수 밀도함수 추정방법을 이용한 진앙지 분포의 집중도는 역사지진의 경우 한반도 중부, 충남, 전북, 경북지역에서 높게 나타났다. 또한 계기지진의 경우에는 황해도-충남 해안-경북 내륙을 연결하는 "L"자 형태의 집중도를 보인다.

Kim and Baek (2000) tested the spatial randomness for he earthquake occurrence in the Korean Peninsula by using the nearest-neighbor test statistics and empirical distribution functions. The K-function, however, has obvious advantages over the methods used in Kim and Baek (2000), such as it does not depend on the shape of the study region and is an effective summary of spatial dependence over a wide range of scales. We applied the K-function method for testing the randomness to both of the historical and the instrumental seismicity data. It was found that he earthquake occurrences for historical and instrumental seismicity data are not random and clustered rather than scattered.

This paper gives a brief review of seismicity and seismic monitoring in surface mines. A summary of various researches related to seismicity is presented. Our research focuses on the understanding of seismicity and the application of analytical techniques to seismicity. Seismic monitoring plays an important role in the identification of potential failure planes and thereby predict potential failures. Much of the instrumentation used in our research is derived from earthquake monitoring systems. The major aspects in seismic monitoring are an instrumentation used, size of the network and data acquisition systems. Seismic monitoring in surface mines could be successfully applied to the improvement of safety standards in slope stability.

This paper introduces the status of and issues related to the PSHA (Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis) of Korean Nuclear Power Plant sites. PSHA was first introduced to the nuclear industry in the mid-1980s. The Korean PSHA is based on Cornell and accommodates the modem approach for eliciting expertise and statistical treatment. Due to the low seismicity in Korea, large uncertainties exist in the PSHA database including seismic source maps, seismicity parameters of seismic sources, and attenuation formulae. Though research in seismology, geology, and earthquake engineering since the mid-1990s has significantly reduced uncertainties, a considerable amount still exists. Considering the low seismicity of the Korean Peninsula, especially the lack of strong motion data, further reduction will take several decades.

The seismicity of the Korean peninsula (2A. D.-1977) is investigated temporally and spatially to estimate seismic hazard zones in the Korean peninsula, based on macroseismic data from description of the historical literature and reported data by JMA, ERI, World Data Center-A, and ISC.

Seismicity of the Korean Peninsula shows intraplate seismicity that has irregular pattern in both time and space. Seismic data of the Korean peninsula consists of historical earthquakes and instrumental earthquakes. In this study we devide these data into complete part and incomplete part and considering earthquake size uncertainty estimate seismic hazard parameters - activity rate λ, b value of Gutenberg-Richter relation and maximum possible earthquake IMAX by statistical method in each major tectonic provinces. These estimated values are expected to be important input parameters in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and evaluation of design earthquake.

한반도의 지진활동은 시공적으로 매우 불규칙한 판내부 지진활동의 전형적 특성을 보여준다. 한반도는 지질학적으로 구조 및 특성이 다른 여러 개의 지체구조구로 나누어지며 본 연구에서는 각 지체구조구의 지진활동의 특성의 차이를 규명하기 위하여 한반도의 역사 및 계기 지진자료를 이용하여 각 지체구조구의 지진활동변수를 추정하였다. 조선시대 이전의 불완전한 지진자료와 그 이후의 완전한 지진자료에 대한 통계적 분석은 지체구조구들 사이에 지진활동의 특성에 현저한 차이가 나지 않음을 보였다. 한반도 전체로서 진도-빈도의 b값은 대략 0.6 이며, 최대 지진은 MMI X 정도이다. 본 연구결과는 한반도의 확률론적 지진재해도 분석과 내진 공학에서 설계지진의 평가에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.

1991년 12월 이후 약 3년 동안 남한 중서부지역에서 발생할 미소지진을 한국교원대 관측망을 통해 관측하고 그 자료를 분석하였다. 월 평균 약 2회의 지진이 발생하여 낮은 지진활동도를 나타내며, 시간적으로 발생빈도에 뚜렷한 변화를 나타내지 않고 있다. 지난 3년간의 관측자료에 근거한 빈도-규모 관계식에서의 b값은 1.15이다. 진앙은 주로 옥천대에 많이 분포하고 있으며, 특히 옥천대와 영남육괴의 경계부인 문경지역, 보은-속리산-영동지역, 군산-논산 지역에 상대적으로 많이 분포하는 경향을 보인다.
