Abstract

The relief wells have been studied to be effective in seepage control in small dams such as agricultural dams. However, quantitative studies on the effects of the relief well are rare and there is no design standard also. To quantitatively analyze the effects of the seepage control in small dams, the research of up-lift pressure influencing the toe of dam body was conducted by seepage analysis, which investigates the behavior characteristics, according to the conditions of dam and foundation. The effect of seepage control was studied by analyzing the reduction effect of up-lift pressure at foundation ground of the toe of downstream dam slope depending on the installation of the relief well. As a result, it was found that the relief wells are effective in reducing the pore water pressure in the foundation, which can cause piping and sliding failure.

감압정은 소규모 필댐과 같은 소규모 댐에서 침투수 관리에 효과가 있다고 보고되고 있지만 감압정의 효과에 대한 정량적인 연구는 드물고 설계기준 또한 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소규모 필댐의 침투수 처리 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고자 댐 제체와 기초지반의 조건에 따른 침투해석을 수행하여 침투수의 거동특성을 파악함으로써, 댐 제체 선단에 작용하는 양압력을 분석하였다. 감압정의 설치 여부에 따라 댐 하류부 제체 선단의 기초지반에 작용하는 양압력의 감소 효과를 분석하였으며, 분석결과 감압정은 기초지반에서 파이핑 및 제체 활동을 유발시킬 수 있는 간극수압을 저감시키는데 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다.
