Abstract

Artificial reef often experiences a functional loss due to scour, even though serveral surveys of a seabed were performed prior to installation. Particularly in the east and west coasts in Korea, where the artificial reefs are installed, there are clear differences in the geotechnical characteristics of the seabed. Therefore, in this study, both field surveys and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the scouring characteristics of artificial reefs installed on the east and west coasts of Korea. The laboratory experiments were performed with different velocities and soil types. The field survey results of artificial reef revealed that artificial reef-installed seabeds in the east and west coasts are more vulnerable to scour than settlement. Particularly in the west coast, the loss ratio caused by scour was found to exceed 50 % in most cases. The experimental results showed that scouring occurred faster and more severely on the west coast seabed, which has a smaller particle size compared to the east coast. Additionally when the scour depth exceeded approximately 10 % of the height of the artificial reef, the artificial reef tilted forward and further scouring was induced.

현재 지반 조사를 실시하여 인공어초를 설치함에도 불구하고 세굴 발생으로 인공어초 기능이 상실되는 문제가 종종 발생한다. 특히 인공어초 설치 해역 중 동해안과 서해안은 지반 특성의 차이가 뚜렷하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동해안 및 서해안에 설치된 인공어초의 세굴 발생 특성을 알아보기 위해 기 설치된 인공어초에 대한 실태 조사와 유속 특성에 따른 실내실험을 수행하였다. 인공어초 실태를 조사한 결과, 동해안과 서해안에 설치된 인공어초는 침하보다 세굴이 더 많이 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 서해안의 경우 세굴에 의한 소실비가 50 %를 초과하는 것으로 조사되었다. 세굴 실험 결과 동해안 지반에 비해 입경이 상대적으로 작은 서해안 지반에서 세굴이 더 빨리 발생하였으며, 세굴 깊이도 더 크게 발생하였다. 또한 세굴 깊이가 인공어초 높이의 약 10 %를 초과하는 시점부터 인공어초가 전면으로 기울어지는 현상이 발생하여 세굴이 추가로 더 유발되는 현상을 보였다.
