Abstract

Recently, the frequency of torrential rain is increasing due to climate change, which causes a large amount of debris flows. The purpose of this study was to understand the flow characteristics of debris flow according to the change in channel slope and volumetric sediment concentration and to analyze the effects of a berm on the flow characteristics of debris flow. The flow characteristics of debris flow, such as flow velocity, flow depth, Froude number, and flow resistance coefficients, were calculated using laboratory tests. The effect of a berm was analyzed by comparing the experimental results of a linear channel with those of a one-stepped channel. The results showed that the channel slope affected the flow velocity and flow depth, and the volumetric sediment concentration affected the flow velocity and flow depth, Froude number, and flow resistance coefficient. Moreover, as a berm was installed, the flow velocity and flow depth decreased by up to 26.1% and 71.2%, respectively. This means that installing a berm reduces the flow velocity, thereby reducing the mobility and kinetic energy. These results provide useful information to understand better the flow characteristics of debris flow and the effectiveness of a berm.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가하여 많은 양의 토석류가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 수로경사와 토사체적농도의 변화에 따른 토석류의 흐름 특성을 파악하고, 소단의 설치가 토석류 흐름 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실내 모형실험을 통해 토석류의 흐름 특성 중 유속, 흐름 깊이, Froude 수, 흐름저항계수를 산정하였으며, 소단의 영향을 확인하기 위해 소단을 설치하지 않은 직선수로와 소단을 설치한 1단 수로의 실험결과를 비교하였다. 실험결과, 수로경사가 토석류의 유속과 흐름 깊이에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였으며, 토사체적농도가 토석류의 유속, 흐름 깊이, Froude 수 및 흐름 저항계수에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 소단을 설치함에 따라 토석류의 유속과 흐름 깊이가 최대 26.1%, 71.2%씩 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 소단을 설치하는 것이 토석류의 유속을 감소시켜 토석류의 이동성과 운동에너지를 감소시키는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과는 토석류의 흐름특성을 파악하는 데 유용한 정보를 제공하며, 사면에서 소단의 효용성에 대한 정보를 제공한다.
