최근의 주안점이 되고 있는 것 중의 과연 우리나라 하천의 하상이 높아지고 있는지 낮아지고 있는지에 대한 논의이다. 하상이 높아지고 있다고 하는 주장은 다목적 댐이나 하구둑에 의해 이른바 홍수가 플러싱이 안되어 하상이 계속 쌓이고, 그에 따라 홍수 위험이 가중되었다고 주장하는 사람들이 있다. 반면에, 오히려 1960년대부터 1970년대 초까지 산에 숲이 없어 토사 유출이 심해 하상이 쌓였으나, 그 이후 산림녹화가 되고 주요 하천에 대댐이 건설되어 하상이 깎이기 시작하였고, 지금은 주요 댐 상류 이외에는 대부분 하상이 낮아졌다고 추론하는 사람들도 있다. 본 연구는 이를 실증적으로 규명하기 위해 낙동강의 구간별 하상 변화를 조사하고 그 경향성을 분석한 것이다. 그런데, 최심 하상의 비교는 국부적인 변화에 지나치게 민감하여 그 대표성을 띄기 힘들며, 100년 빈도 홍수에 대한 평균 하상은 실제의 저수로 하상 보다 지나치게 높은 하상을 나타내는 문제를 보였다. 따라서 기존의 최심 하상이나 100년 빈도 홍수위에 대한 평균 하상의 비교가 아닌 연평균 홍수위에 근거한 평균 하상 개념을 제안하고, 이를 토대로 하상 변화를 분석하였다. 연평균 홍수위에 대한 평균 하상을 이용한 결과, 낙동강에서는 1983${\sim}$1993년 사이에는 대규모 하상 저하는 없었으나, 중류부인 고령과 왜관 구간(하구에서 150${\sim}$200 km 구간)에서 작은 규모의 하상 저하가 발생하였다. 1993${\sim}$2005년 사이에는 하상 저하의 규모가 더욱 커져서 120${\sim}$200 km 구간에서는 평균적으로 2${\sim}$3 m, 최대의 하상 저하 5 m 정도의 하상 저하가 발생하였고, 그 상류부인 200${\sim}$240 km 구간에서는 1${\sim}$2 m 정도의 비교적 작은 규모의 하상 저하가 발생하였다. 그러나 내성천 합류점 상류 구간 (240 km 이상의 구간)에서는 하상 상승과 하강은 거의 대부분 국부적인 현상에 머물고 있으며, 대규모 하상 변동이 없다. 이러한 낙동강 하상 저하의 주 원인은 대규모 골재 채취임을 밝혀내었다.

자연 상태의 하천의 하상은 흐름에 의해 끊임없이 변하지만 기록적인 홍수 등 특별한 자연 현상이 없는 한 유사이송에 평형을 이룬 상태라 할 수 있다. 하지만 유역 토지이용의 변화와 골재 채취, 댐과 저수지의 건설 등과 같은 인위적인 요인들은 하천의 평형 상태를 파괴하고 유사이송문제 및 하상변화 등과 같은 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 따라서 홍수피해를 경감시키고 홍수조절을 목적으로 계획하는 홍수조절댐의 경우 홍수 발생 기간 외에는 상류와 하류 하천 간의 흐름 차단을 최대한 억제하고 상류로부터 유입되는 유사가 댐 상류부에 퇴적되는 것을 방지하기 위해 댐에 상시 개방되어 있는 배사관과 생태통로를 설치하도록 계획되기도 한다. 국내에서는 임진강 유역에서 홍수피해 저감을 위한 한탄강댐의 건설이 계획되었으며 유사이송문제와 생태환경 문제를 고려하여 배사관과 생태통로를 설치하도록 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 1차원 HEC-6모형을 이용하여 대상 유역인 한탄강 홍수조절댐 상류하천에 대해 댐 건설 전과 후의 수위변화 및 하상변동 모의를 수행하였으며 지속 기간별 평수량과 연평균유량에 대한 장기하상변동을 분석하였다. 또한 과거유량수문자료를 이용하여 산출된 1년 동안의 대표 유량수문곡선을 HEC-6 모의에 적용하여 유량변화가 연속적으로 발생했을 경우의 하상변화를 1년과 100년 기간에 대해 각각 분석하였다. 그 결과 지속 기간이 길어짐에 따라 상류 7.8 km에서는 퇴적과 침식 작용이 활발히 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 댐 건설 전과 후의 하상 변화의 차이가 크지 않았다. 또한 연평균 유량 조건을 복합적으로 적용했을 때가 지속적인 연평균유량을 적용했을 때보다 하상변화가 더 크게 발생하였다.

This study evaluated current status of marine sand mining and related assessment systems in Korea for supporting effective policy development. The estimated total deposit of sand was ca. 10 billion $m^3$, while the estimated minable amount was ca. 5.5 billion $m^3$, in which marine sand accounted for 21%. The proportion of marine sand to the total mined aggregates has steadily increased by 15% in 1992 to 28% in 2002, but recently slightly decreased. Marine sand mining is regulated under a consultation system on the coastal development according to the "Marine Environmental Management Act". During 2002-2009, a total of 184 million $m^3$ of marine sand was mined, and the annual amount ranged from 17,440,000-33,698,000 $m^3$ the coastal area accounted for 64.5% and the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) 35.5%. In the coastal area, the major area supplying the marine sand was Gyeonggi Bay (>62%) followed by some southwestern coastal areas. The South and the West EEZ explained 23.9% and 11.6% of the total mined sand. The extent of marine sand mining in Korea was evaluated to be greater compared with other countries. Large-scale concentrated and repeated sand mining can damage environmental changes and ecology with long-term accumulated impacts.

This paper assessed environmental impacts of marine sand mining on coastal areas and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of Korea, and diagnosed problems of the related assessment statements for suggesting key assessment items (scoping) and system improvement. To mitigate conflicts and environmental impacts caused by large-scale, concentrated sand mining, we suggest it is critical to promote sustainable and eco-friendly utilization of marine resources while listening opinions from various stakeholders and analyzing alternative plans. Especially, it should be mandatory as a scoping item to provide verifiable data on the amount of sand, potential and accumulative impacts by mining, and key assessment items (e.g. erosion and sedimentation by submarine topography, benthic change, spreading of suspended solids, water pollution, grain-size change, and impact on fisheries resources). We also suggest that postassessment and monitoring should be improved to enable tracking of environmental impacts caused by sand mining through seasonal monitoring together with intermittent short-term surveys. In addition, effective measures to mitigate the impacts is also essential. As repeated sand mining at large-scale can damage marine ecosystems by long-term accumulated impacts, we suggest that assessment systems and regulatory policies should be developed and established, especially for ensuring reliability of assessment and review on selected major sandmining projects.

The reduction phenomena of concrete compressive strength with the size of cylinders have been very interested in, but till now the adequate. analysis technique is not fixed. Based on the existing research results. the bigger the member size is, the smaller the strengt.h is. However. the real test ~.csults reveal that the wduction rate becomes blunt and there are considerable differences between size offrct law and real results. The punposc. ofthis paper is to propose tho model equat.ion which covers the compressive strength of' cylinder specimens in case of general hight/dialnetcr ratio in terms of the size effect. he effect of maximum aggregate size on the microcrack zone was also studied, and the model equation was proposed by considering the concept of'the characteristic length. These results will also be used to predict the cornprcssivt. stxngth of various sized concrete cores sampled from existing structures.

The purpose of this research is to estimate the drying shrinkage and durability of concrete using the fine river sand to utilize it actively as an alternative aggregate for concrete. For this purpose, the fine river sand samples were collected at the mid and down stream of main stream of Nakdong-River, and then the concrete specimens using the fine river sand were made according to strength level. After obtaining relation equation between compressive strength and cement-water ratio from the mix experiment result, the concrete specimens using different fine river sand were made for the specified concrete strength of 35MPa, and then their drying shrinkage and durability such as the resistance to freeze and thaw and carbonation were evaluated. It was observed from the test result that the durability of concrete using fine river sand was similar to that of concrete using reference sand, but the drying shrinkage of concrete using the fine river sand with small fineness was comparatively larger than that of concrete using reference sand.

We have evaluated the ammonium data in seawater as a potential short-term index for marine environment through the following steps. 1. reviewing of chemical characteristics of ammonium in seawater, 2. comparative relationships of ammonium data with other water quality indices such as DO, COD, and nutrients from Typical Marine Environment(TME) and Special Marine Environment(SME). Ammonium data generally represent negative correlation with DO, while positive correlation with COD. In particular, under frequent cases of seawater conditions showing similar concentration of COD or DO, we have limited choice of explanation for such situation. However ODIN(ODIN/RDIN) or RDIN(RDIN/TDIN) ratio could provide advanced information to understand these seawater conditions. Based on these results, we suggest ammonium data as a potential short-period index for transilient marine environment, such as benthic flux of bottom sediment, hypoxia, and algal bloom. Under overcoming several handicaps, ammonium data could be an useful tool for better understand short transformation of marine environment.

Channel topography, sediment properties, channel landscapes and characteristics of land covers in Naeseongcheon and Wicheon River consisting of granites and sedimentary rocks, respectively, are compared and analyzed. Due to the differences of bedrocks, soils and characteristics of land covers in the basins, Wicheon River with the slow flow speed shows the larger variations in river stage than Naeseongcheon River. While Naeseongcheon River fed by the granite sediments throughout granular disintegration hs tthe regular grain size properties with coarse sand in the most of river, Wicheon River fed by sedimentary rocks indicates the dramatic decertses of grain size lower-ward. Naeseongcheon River with channel interferences such as sand-sized sediment transughoations, dredges, and aggregate collections is analyzed as poorer vegetation covers than Wicheon River due to the dramatic changes in channel surfaces.

A large amount of stone is required as a high-end strategy for building new construction and remodeling work, and aggregates have to be collected from many stone mountains due to the lack of river sand and gravel required for concrete production. This study examines the case of development of stone materials for construction, conduct and analyze residents' attitudes, find out residents' thoughts on stone mountain development, develops the area as an alternative to the devastation caused by stone mountain development, and recycles it as an efficient resource. We intend to conduct basic research to propose a plan. As a result, Local residents have a lot of antipathy against the use of quarry, so it is necessary to use the area that is far from the residents' areas as a quarry. It was concluded that it was desirable to restore and develop in the right direction.

This study presents a case study of condition evaluation of various asphalt pavement sections to estimate performance lives. The pavement surface conditions including cracking and rutting are first evaluated using a automatic pavement analyzer, ARAN. HPCI(Highway Pavement Condition Index) values are estimated using the pavement surface distress data. It is observed from the pavement distress survey that the major distress type of the sections is top-down cracking. The modulus value of each pavement layer is back-calculated from the defection data obtained from a FWD(Falling Weight Deflectometer) and compared with the laboratory measured dynamic modulus values. Remaining lives of the various pavement sections are estimated based on a mechanistic-empirical approach and AAHTO 1993 design guide. The structural capacities of the all pavement sections based on the two approaches are strong enough to maintain the pavement sections for the rest of design life. Since the major distress type is top-down cracking, the remaining lives of the pavement sections are estimated based on HPCI and existing performance database of highway pavements. To evaluate the causes of premature pavement distress, various material properties, such as air void, asphalt binder content, aggregate gradation, dynamic modulus and fatigue resistance, are measured from the field cores. It is impossible to accurately estimate the binder contents of field samples using the ignition method. It is concluded from the laboratory tests that the premature top down cracking is mainly due to insufficient compaction and inadequate aggregate gradation.
