For estimating ground motion intensity measures on the surface from seismic sensors installed in structures, it is crucial to correct structural response effects embedded in the recorded signals. This study proposes a model for peak ground acceleration (PGA) amplification based on VS30, derived from multi-degree-of-freedom analysis. PGA amplification factor (AFPGA) is defined as the ratio of peak floor acceleration (PFA) of structures to PGA. The model includes three key input parameters: the natural period of the structures (Tn), the ratio of stories to the total number of stories in the structures, and the time-averaged shear wave velocity down to a depth of 30 meters. It is developed using 78 ground motion records from both domestic and international earthquakes. A LOESS smoothing technique is applied using 3 span values, with the optimal span of 0.1 is determined based on RMSE performance and an analysis of local trend characteristics in the dataset. The model is verified using empirical data from the CESMD global strong motion database, which includes classification by Tn into short, intermediate, and long periods. The results show that although the model tends to predict higher AFPGA values than those observed in real structures, it effectively reflects the overall amplification trends. This approach enables the pre-earthquake estimation of structural amplification, allowing for the use of seismic sensors installed in structures as a complementary monitoring network for seismic response.

Seismic design and risk assessment require input ground motions that accurately reflect both the seismic intensity associated with the target hazard level and the regional seismic characteristics of Korea. In this study, a scenario earthquake was defined through seismic hazard deaggregation. Due to the lack of recorded ground motions in Korea for this particular scenario, a finite fault was modeled. Seed ground motions related to the scenario earthquake were generated using the empirical Green’s function method, based on the 912 Gyeongju earthquake. During the spectral matching process, the convergence of the spectrum used for ground motion selection and the target Uniform Hazard Spectrum (UHS) was analyzed. This analysis led to the proposal of specific spectral conditions for selecting ground motions. The final set of input ground motions was then applied in time-history analyses of a nuclear power plant containment structure to assess its seismic response characteristics. The analysis results demonstrate that the proposed ground motion generation procedure applies to the development of ground motions in regions with moderate seismicity.

The concept of resilience has gained increasing attention amid growing urbanization and rising vulnerability to infrastructure. While various methodologies exist for evaluating the resilience of lifeline systems, few address the distinct structural features and failure modes of railway networks. This study refines existing approaches by incorporating characteristics unique to high-speed railways, with a focus on two key aspects. First, we define the structure of railway networks by identifying nodes and links, and deriving link-specific resilience criteria based on the fragility characteristics and recovery profiles of their structural components. Second, we utilize real data from the Korean railway system to quantify the performance degradation caused by component failures during seismic events. To assess the framework’s applicability, we use a simplified network and a more complex one integrating Korea’s Honam Line and Honam High-Speed Line. The framework effectively identifies critical scenarios and provides a valuable tool for decision-makers in assessing seismic risk and planning recovery for railway infrastructure.

This study investigates the seismic performance of beam-column connections using Thin-Walled Steel Composite (TSC) beams and Prestressed Reinforced Concrete (PSRC) columns. TSC beams are constructed from U-shaped thin steel plates that are filled with concrete, allowing for composite action with slabs through the use of shear connectors. They are widely applied in industrial buildings due to excellent strength, stiffness, and constructability. However, slender web plates are prone to local buckling, which may compromise their performance during seismic events. To mitigate this issue, internal supports have been introduced to enhance web stability and concrete confinement. Cyclic loading tests on three specimens—with and without internal supports—demonstrated that the supports increased moment capacity, improved energy dissipation, and effectively reduced buckling. Even slender sections demonstrated performance comparable to that of compact sections. All specimens reached peak strength at a 2.44% rotation angle, with damage localized near the supports. A practical connection detail was also proposed, taking into account constructability and structural reliability. The results provide valuable guidance for the seismic design of composite systems in large-scale structures.

The 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake in Japan caused significant damage to wooden structures due to strong ground motion and widespread liquefaction. This study examines the damage patterns observed in wooden houses and analyzes the underlying structural vulnerabilities that contribute to these patterns. Key findings include standard failure modes such as foundation settlement, soft-story collapse, torsional deformation, and joint failure. The evolution of Japan’s seismic design standards has been reviewed, highlighting the importance of balanced wall distribution, reinforced connections, and lightweight roofing systems. Based on field investigations, this study systematically classifies the types of seismic damage in wood structures. It develops a qualitative performance curve that visually illustrates structural behavior in terms of inclination, seismic damage patterns, and repairability. Furthermore, a seismic damage taxonomy is proposed to infer the causes of damage through logical links between observed failure patterns and structural vulnerabilities. This research establishes a practical foundation for the seismic design and retrofit strategies of wood structures, ultimately contributing to the advancement of earthquake-resilient construction practices.

This study examines the seismic vulnerability of non-structural components in high-rise buildings by proposing a normalized floor response spectrum (FRS) suitable for practical application. A Bayesian-mode-based method (BMBM) is used to develop the FRS, incorporating both modal amplification effects and the probabilistic variability observed across different building heights and story levels. The resulting spectrum is methodically compared with existing code-based and empirical methods to assess its consistency, conservatism, and relevance to engineering practices. The findings demonstrate that the proposed FRS provides a realistic yet reliable upper-bound estimate of floor accelerations, particularly in the upper stories where modal interactions are significant. This research offers a robust and practical framework for enhancing the seismic design of nonstructural components in vertical structures.
