수자원 관리 패러다임은 공급 위주에서 수요관리로 전환되고 있다. 가용한 수자원은 한정적이나 급속한 인구증가와 도시화로 인한 물 수요의 증가로 수요관리의 효율성이 중시되고 있기 때문이다. 기존 상수도시스템은 노후화로 가동효율이 점차 낮아지고 있으며, 인력으로 월 또는 격월로 소비자의 물 사용량을 검침해 실시간 관리가 불가능하여 수요와 공급의 불균형을 초래한다. 이러한 문제를 해결할 대안으로 IT 기술과 전통적인 물관리 기술을 접목한 Smart Water Grid는 양방향 통신장치를 이용해 실시간으로 소비자의 물 사용량을 모니터링한다. 물 사용 특성을 잘 파악하면 보다 정확한 물 수요 예측이 가능하다. 특히 소비자들의 시간별, 평일, 주말, 그리고 주별 물 사용 특성을 파악하면 미래 물 수요 예측에 도움이 된다. 예측된 물 수요량에 따라 물 공급 배분 계획을 수립하여 운영 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 물 수요예측 방법 중 k-mean 군집분석은 시간별 물 사용량을 이용해 서로 유사한 여러 개의 부분집합으로 할당하여 분류하는 Machine learing 방법으로 물 사용의 유사성을 파악할 수 있다. SWG 연구단은 2019년 Vietnam Hai Duong province에 SWG Pilot plant를 구축하고 27개의 Smart water meter를 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소비자의 물 사용 특성을 분석하기 위해 27개 SWM로부터 수신된 2019년 11월 14일부터 2020년 12월 3일까지 1시간 단위의 물 사용량 데이터를 수집하였다. 그리고 k-mean 군집 방법을 이용해 시간별, 평일, 주말, 그리고 주별 물 사용 특성을 분석하였다. 이 때 최적의 군집 개수 결정을 위해 Elbow 방법을 적용하였다. 분석 결과 각 소비자의 물 사용량 특성에 따라 평균 물 수요패턴 추정이 가능하며, 향후 물 수요 예측에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, maintenance engineering and technology for civil and building structures have begun to draw big attention and actually the number of structures that need to be evaluate on structural safety due to deterioration and performance degradation of structures are rapidly increasing. When stiffness is decreased because of deterioration of structures and member cracks, dynamic characteristics of structures would be changed. And it is important that the damaged areas and extent of the damage are correctly evaluated by analyzing dynamic characteristics from the actual behavior of a structure. In general, typical measurement instruments used for structure monitoring are dynamic instruments. Existing dynamic instruments are not easy to obtain reliable data when the cable connecting measurement sensors and device is long, and have uneconomical for 1 to 1 connection process between each sensor and instrument. Therefore, a method without attaching sensors to measure vibration at a long range is required. The representative applicable non-contact methods to measure the vibration of structures are laser doppler effect, a method using GPS, and image processing technique. The method using laser doppler effect shows relatively high accuracy but uneconomical while the method using GPS requires expensive equipment, and has its signal's own error and limited speed of sampling rate. But the method using image signal is simple and economical, and is proper to get vibration of inaccessible structures and dynamic characteristics. Image signals of camera instead of sensors had been recently used by many researchers. But the existing method, which records a point of a target attached on a structure and then measures vibration using image processing technique, could have relatively the limited objects of measurement. Therefore, this study conducted shaking table test and field load test to verify the validity of the method that can measure multi-point displacement responses of structures using image processing technique.

Smart sewage treatment plant means creating a safe and clean water environment by establishing an ICT-based real-time monitoring, remote control management and intelligent system for the entire sewage treatment process. The core technology of such a smart sewage treatment plant can be operation control technology using measuring instruments. This research team analyzed and suggested the operation control technologies necessary for the establishment of the intelligent business by referring to the intelligent research projects of the sewage treatment plant in progress in Korea. As a result of the analysis, a total of six removal technologies were presented, including control by scale, reflow water control, linked treated water control, chemical quantity control, winter operation control, and total organic carbon control. By size, standards that can be classified into small and medium-sized large-scale are presented, and in the case of reflow water control, the location of water quality and flow sensors capable of managing reflow water is suggested. In the case of the linked treated water control, the influence and control points of the linked treated water on the sewage treatment plant were presented, and in the case of the chemical injection volume control, a system capable of optimizing the amount of chemical injection according to the introduction of an intelligent sewage treatment plant was presented. In the case of winter operation, the sensors and pumps to be controlled are suggested when considering the decrease in nitrification due to the decrease in water temperature. In the case of total organic carbon control, an interlocking system considering the total amount of pollution in the future was proposed. These operation control scenarios are expected to be used as basic data to be used in intelligent sewage treatment algorithms and scenarios in the future.

It is possible to understand rainfall infiltration characteristics by identification of wetting front in the soil. The wetting front by rainfall infiltration has close relationships among soil density, grain size distribution, and permeability coefficient in the soil. The infiltration velocity is a similar concept of permeability coefficient in the soil. In this study, infiltration velocity of rainfall was calculated by a field monitoring of volumetric water contents at the depths of 50 cm and 80 cm below the surface in the gneiss weathered soil. The calculated field infiltration velocity was compared with a permeability coefficient by a laboratory soil test using undisturbed soil samples in the study area. The permeability coefficient of the soil sample is $3.15{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$, while the field infiltration velocity is $1.87{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$. It is interpreted that the lower infiltration velocity is induced by complicate condition of porosity and grain size distribution of soil in the field. The rainfall intensity which influences on the volumetric water content and infiltration velocity is more than 20 mm/day resulting in expansion of wetting front in the soil.

국내 산업 및 기능적 측면에서 중추역할을 수행하고 있는 부산 울산 인천 등 전체 도시의 40%를 이루고 있는 해안도시들이 하천범람과 같은 홍수피해, 해일피해 등에 대한 체계적인 대비가 전무한 실정으로서 본 연구는 모형화 기법을 이용하여 해안도시홍수 경보발령 기준안을 도출하고 이를 실 수문관측 자료를 이용한 검정을 통해 경보발령 기준안의 문제점을 파악하여 그 개선방향을 제시하였다. 대상유역은 대표적 해안도시하천의 특성을 지니고 있는 부산시 온천천유역으로 강우-수위 관측 모니터링 시스템을 구축, 운영을 통해 10분 간격 강우 및 수위 자료를 구축하였으며, 수위 자료는 수위 유량 관계곡선을 이용하여 유량으로 환산하였다. 미계측 상태에서의 수리 수문 모형화를 통해 도출된 경보발령기준안에 대한 평가 및 문제점 도출을 위해 본 연구는 유역내 실시간 수문관측을 통해 얻은 강우 및 유출 특성 자료를 이용하였다. 대상 유역내 경보발령 지점인 세병교 지점의 20분 누가기준 경보발령 기준우량은 한계수위 $H_{c1},\;H_{c2},\;H_{c4}$인 경우 각각 4mm, 5mm, 6mm로서 20개월 동안 이러한 기준을 이용하여 관측된 강우사상 중 경보발령 기준안의 평가가 가능한 26개의 강우사상을 분류할 수 있었다. 그 결과 약 60%의 강우사상(case_1)이 성공한 경보발령 기준우량 임을 관측할 수 있었으며 이러한 발생강우에 대해 $20{\sim}150$분의 대피여유시간을 확보할 수 있었다. 그러나. 경보발령에 실패한 40%의 강우사상은 발생 강우의 총강우량이 대체적으로 적은 경우 및 지속기간 동안 경보발령기준에 준하는 강우를 발생하였으나 수위에 영향이 미비하여 한계수위에 도달하지 못한 경우(case_2), 20분 누가강우는 기준에 도달하지 않았으나 강우 지속시간이 길어 이미 선행강우로 인해 경보발령 이전에 한계수위를 넘어서는 경우(case_3)로서 분석되었다. 이러한 실패한 경보발령의 경우에 대한 원인분석 결과, 기존의 모형화를 통해 고려되지 못하였던 해안도시 홍수의 특성 중 총강우량에 대한 고려, 선행강우 여부 및 강우 지속시간, 지속시간 내 강우집중도 그리고 선정지점 내 조위의 영향과 유역내 합류식 하수관거 시스템의 영향 등 자연유역과는 다른 다소 복잡한 요소를 고려한 해안도시홍수 경보발령 기준에 대한 개선이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents long-term dynamic characteristics of a cable-stayed bridge where installed SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) system. Modal parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are identified by modal analysis using three dimensional finite element model. The developed baseline model has a good correlation with measured natural frequencies identified from field ambient vibrations. By statistical data processing between measured natural frequencies and temperatures, it is demonstrated that the natural frequency is in linearly inverse proportion to the temperature. The estimation of temperature effects against frequency variations is performed. Mode shapes are identified from the TDD (Time Domain Decomposition) technique for ambient vibration measurements. Finally, these results demonstrate that the TDD method can apply to identify modal parameters of a cable-stayed bridge.

This study employs traditional statistical auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and deep learning-based long short-term memory (LSTM) models to predict the deformation of earth retaining walls using inclinometer data from excavation sites. It compares the predictive capabilities of both models. The ARIMA model excels in analyzing linear patterns as time progresses, while the LSTM model is adept at handling complex nonlinear patterns and long-term dependencies in the data. This research includes preprocessing of inclinometer measurement data, performance evaluation across various data lengths and input conditions, and demonstrates that the LSTM model provides statistically significant improvements in prediction accuracy over the ARIMA model. The findings suggest that LSTM models can effectively assess the stability of retaining walls at excavation sites. Additionally, this study is expected to contribute to the development of safety monitoring systems at excavation sites and the advancement of time series prediction models.

The five-story and seven-story stone pagodas at Cheongnyangsaji temple site in Gongju are located under the Sambulbong peak of Gyeryongsan mountain, and are known to have been built of the middle in Goryeo dynasty. As the two pagodas in which two types of Baekje stone pagoda coexist in one era, their historical and academic value are recognized. The seven-story pagoda was overturned by robbery in 1944, and as a result, the five-story pagoda was tilted. Although the two pagodas were restored in 1961, structural instability was continuously raised. In this study, measurement data accumulated from May 2021 to March 2022, and seasonal characteristics were reviewed, and the micro behavior of pagodas were analyzed according to temperature and precipitation during the same period. As a result, the micro thermoelastic behavior was repeated according to the daily temperature change in all sensors, and both the slope and the displacement showed microscale behavior. In the inclinometer, moisture containing the surface and inside of the stones repeated expansion and contraction due to temperature change, showing the micro movements. In particular, the upper part of the five-story pagoda moved up to 3.89° to the northwest, and the seven-story pagoda tilted up to 0.078° to the northeast. The maximum displacements were recorded as 0.127 and 0.149 mm in the five-story and the seven-story pagoda, respectively. These values tended to return to the original position at the end of the measurement, but did not recover completely, indicating a state requiring precise monitoring. The result obtained through the study can be used as basic data for the stable conservation of the two stone pagodas. Based on the behavioral characteristics considering various environmental factors should be analyzed, and the preventive conservation through the maintenance of measurement system built this time should be continued.
