The current Korean criteria for seismic performance evaluated by dynamic analysis regulates that the horizontal displacement and vertical settlement of a dam body, including the static deformation, should be within 1% of the dam height. However, there has been weak theoretical support, so that the current criteria have to be validated. Korea is in a region of low or moderate seismicity located inside the Eurasian plate, and few earthquakes with considerable magnitudes and intensities have been recorded in the area. Therefore, in this study, published data measured in overseas countries were collected in order to construct a database and validate the current criteria. In addition, dynamic centrifuge tests and a parametric study using numerical simulations were performed in order to investigate the effect on the horizontal displacement and settlement of a dam body and to validate the current criteria.

The risk assessment model for dam and levee is applied to a river where two adjacent dams are located in the upstream of the watershed. "A" dam is proven to be safe with 200-year precipitation and unsafe with PMP condition, whereas "B" dam to be safe with 200-year precipitation and PMP condition. The computed risk considering the uncertainties of the runoff coefficient. initial water depth and relevant data of the dam and spillway turn out to be equivalent results in Monte-Carlo and AFOSM method. In levee risk model, this study addresses the uncertainty of water surface elevation by Manning's equation. Monte-Carlo simulation with the variations of Manning's roughness coefficient is calculated by assuming that it follows atriangular distribution. The model can be used for preparing flood risk maps, flood warning systems, and establishing nation's flood disaster protection plan.

This paper assesses the suitability of existing standards for plastic material models and performance level evaluation methods in seismic performance evaluations of concrete dam piers during Maximum Credible Earthquakes (MCE). Dynamic plastic analysis was conducted to examine the applicability of the plastic material model under various conditions. As a result reveal that when the minimum reinforcement ratio is not met, the average stress-average strain method recommended in current dam seismic performance evaluation guidelines tends to underestimate pier responses compared to the predicted outcomes of dynamic elastic analysis. Consequently, the paper proposes an improvement plan that treats dam piers with an insufficient minimum reinforcement ratio as unreinforced and integrates fracture energy into concrete tensile behavior characteristics for performance level evaluation. Implementing these improvements can lead to more conservative evaluation outcomes compared to current seismic performance evaluation methods.

This study deals with the use of porewater pressure transducers to evaluate the stability of a fill dam through the correlation between the porewater pressure and water level. As a result of performing principal component analysis on a total of eight porewater pressure transducers installed in the fill dam, they were distributed into three groups. It was found to be distributed as internal, external, and top based on seepage line in the dam body. The correlation coefficient between porewater pressures and water level in group A located inside the seepage line indicated 0.94 to 1.00 and they are showing a strong positive linear relationships. It indicates that maintenance of the dam is required by the porewater pressure transducers of the group A. In addition, a linear regression analysis was performed with the determination coefficients of the group A of 0.89 to 0.99. It was found that the pore water pressure can be predicted and the stability of the dam can be evaluated by comparing it with the currently measured values when the water level is fixed as an explanatory variable.

최근 기상이변으로 가뭄과 홍수, 폭설 등 자연재난이 전 세계적으로 빈번하게 발생하고 있고, 우리나라도 예외는 아니어서 일 강수량이 300mm가 넘는 집중폭우의 횟수도 증가하고 있다. 특히 지난 해 한반도 지역의 아열대성 기후변화로 인해 잦은 국지성 폭우와 태풍 등 물재해로 인명과 재산피해가 점증하고 있다. 2012년 7월에 발생한 제7호 태풍 '카눈'을 시작으로 잇따른 초대형 태풍 '덴빈', '볼라벤', '산바'는 태풍이 북상하여 중부지방 중심 전국적으로 많은 비를 내렸으며 경기 및 강원 북부 일부 지방은 관측 강우량을 경신하였다. 홍수기 시 수자원 운영에 미치는 댐, 보 수문자료의 활용을 통해 홍수분석 등에 활용됨으로써 홍수분석 의사결정 시 신속하게 대응할 수 있는 물 관리 시스템에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 K-water에서는 최신 ICT 기술을 융합한 "실시간 수자원정보시스템"을 구축 운영하여 24시간 365일 상시 모니터링함으로써, 2012년에 과거 유래 없는 4개의 대형 태풍이 한반도에 상륙하였을 때에도 안정적으로 시스템을 운영하면서 신속하게 대응할 수 있었다.

K-water에서는 대청댐 하류의 용수를 취수하여 대청광역 계통에 1일 98만㎥을 공급할수 있는 현도취수장을 운영하고 있다. 취수장에는 고압전동기 10대가 운영되고 있으며, 장시간 연속운전 및 하절기 주위온도 상승 등으로 권선온도가 상승되어 설비의 안전성 문제가 제기되어 왔다. 취수펌프동 실내온도 및 고압전동기 권선온도 저감을 위해 펌프동 배기시스템 운영시간 변경 및 고압전동기 냉각 흡기덕트 설치 등의 개선 노력으로 권선온도 저감은 물론 에너지절감 및 기기의 수명연장 등 설비 운영의 안전성을 확보한 연구결과이다.

In this paper, a method is proposed to accurately and efficiently estimate the equivalent added mass of hydro-dynamic pressure on dam floodgates subjected to earthquake loading. The present method is based on a relatively-simple procedure using on-site vibration measurement and finite element frequency analysis, which is sufficiently practical to be used in the earthquake resistance performance evaluation of dam floodgates.

The studies on efficiency of flood control reservoir has been introduced into four categories including direct flood control contribution by reservoir, flow-duration change and environmental-ecological change in downstream of dam and flood damage estimation of flood plain. In spite of all the previous approaches, the quantification of the effect of reservoir on the flood control in planning stage is quite complex due to lack of a standard for quantifying feasibility of project. In this study, we develop a methodology that can clearly and accurately quantify the flood damage reduction together with the existing flood level reduction at downstream. The proposed approach uses three appraisal standards of flood control: 'potential safety', 'relative risk' and 'absolute risk' according to the risk by stage. The developed methodology was applied to the Namhan river basin with the storm event of July, 2006. The result shows the damage reduction of 4,189 billion won was estimated. The economic benefits for the flood control effect by dam will greatly contribute to the public understanding of the importance and the effect of the flood control by dam.

기존 댐저수지 유입량 산정은 수위-저수량곡선에 댐축에서 측정된 수위를 적용하여 시간당 저수량변화를 계산한 후 방류량을 감안하여 산정하고 있으나, 특히 홍수시 저수지내의 수위가 균일하지 않아 유입량 산정 시 오차 원인이 되고 있다. 홍수기 댐 저수지의 운영에 있어서 가장 큰 불확실도를 가지고 있는 유입량의 정확한 모의를 위해서는 유역 상류 유입부 유량뿐 아니라 저수지 내에서의 수위관측 필요하며, 또한 기존 방법에 의한 유입량 계산의 오차 규명 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 GIS를 이용한 저수지의 저수위-저류량곡선 개선 및 댐저수지 구간별 수위관측을 통한 실시간 홍수 유입량 산정 시스템 도입이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서 현행 댐 저수지에서 운영되고 있는 수위관측소를 포함하여 관측지점을 확대하고 실시간 수위관측이 가능한 통신체계를 구축하고자 하였다. 관측지점의 확대는 기존의 문제점을 해결하는데 있어 주요 지점의 수면 프로파일을 구축하여 호내 유입량 산정에 대한 재검토를 진행하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 구간별 수위 모의가 가능한 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 저수지 내의 수면곡선 분포를 모의하고 저수지 내에서 관측한 수위자료와 비교하였다. 또한 관측된 수위자료의 체계적인 관리 체계 구축을 위해 실시간 모니터링이 가능하고, 통신망의 안전성 확보를 통한 결측 자료가 발생하지 않도록 USN Gateway와 CDMA를 연동하여 통신망을 구성하였다. 나아가, 댐 저수지 유입량 산정에 대한 재검토와 실시간 수위관측 방법에 대한 신기술 도입을 통하여 물관리 부서에 즉시 적용이 가능하도록 유입량 산정 방법과 센서 기술 적용 방법 및 확장성을 제시하였다.

As greater numbers of fill dams and reservoirs become old, the risks of damage or embankment collapse increases. However, few studies have considered the deterioration and hazard classification of the internal core layers of fill dams. This study reports the results of geotechnical investigations of 13 earth-cored fill dams in Korea, based on no-water borehole drilling, Standard Penetration Test, and 2D and 3D electrical resistivity surveys along with in situ and laboratory testing. High-capacity no-water boring minimized core layer disturbance while providing continuous core sample recovery. The results allow the classification of potential hazards related to the existing core layers based on both visual inspection of the recovered samples and the results of engineering surveys and tests. Four types of potential hazard are classified: locally fluidized core with a high water content, rapid water inflow to a borehole, cores with granular materials, and relatively low stiffness of core. Among these, the locally fluidized core is the most critical hazard that requires remedial action because it is related to the potential internal flow path and internal erosion. The other three hazard types are of medium importance and require careful monitoring and regular inspection. Of note, there was no correlation between age and core deterioration. The results are expected to aid the safe management and potential upgrading of aging cored fill dams.
