An analysis considering the fluid-structure interaction is required to strictly evaluate the seismic behavior of facilities such as, environmental facilities and dams, that store fluids. Specifically, in the case of an infinite domain in the upstream direction, such as a dam-reservoir system, this should be carefully considered. In this study, we proposed a practical numerical model for both wave propagation and fluid-structure interaction analyses of an infinite domain, for a system with a semi-infinite domain such as a dam-reservoir system. This method was applicable to the time domain, and enabled accurate boundary analysis. For an infinite fluid domain, a small number of mid-point integrated acoustic finite elements were applied instead of a general acoustic finite element, and a viscous boundary was imposed on the outermost boundary. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method were secured by comparing analytic solutions of a reservoir having infinite domain, with the parametric analysis results, for the number of elements and the size of the modeling region. Furthermore, the proposed method was compared with other fluid-structure interaction methods using additional mass.

We consider an infinite dam with inputs formed by a compound Poisson process and adopt a $P^M_{\lambda}$-policy to control the level of water, where the water is released at rate M when the level of water exceeds threshold ${\lambda}$. We obtain interesting stationary properties of the level of water, when the amount of each input independently follows an exponential distribution. After assigning several managing costs to the dam, we derive the long-run average cost per unit time and show that there exist unique values of releasing rate M and threshold ${\lambda}$ which minimize the long-run average cost per unit time. Numerical results are also illustrated by using MATLAB.

A mechanical lumped parameter model is proposed for the dynamic modeling of a semi-infinite reservoir. A semi-analytic transmitting boundary is derived for a semi-infinite 2-D reservoir of constant depth. The characteristics of the solution are examined in both frequency and time domains. Mass, damping and spring coefficients of the mechanical model are obtained to preserve the major features of the solution such as eigenfrequencies and the shapes of Bessel functions that appear as kernels in the convolution integrals. The lumped parameter model in its final form consists of two masses, a spring and two dampers for each eigenfrequency. Application examples demonstrated that the new lumped parameter model could be used for the time domain analysis of dam-reservoir systems.

An analysis method is proposed for the transient linear or nonlinear analysis of dynamic interactions between a flexible dam body and reservoir impounding compressible water under earthquake loadings. The coupled dam-reservoir system consists of three substructures: (1) a dam body with linear or nonlinear behavior; (2) a semi-infinite fluid region with constant depth; and (3) an irregular fluid region between the dam body and far field. The dam body is modeled with linear and/or nonlinear finite elements. The far field is formulated as a displacement-based transmitting boundary in the frequency domain that can radiate energy into infinity. Then the transmitting boundary is transformed for the direct coupling in the time domain. The near field region is modeled as a compressible fluid contained between two substructures. The developed method is verified and applied to various earthquake response analyses of dam-reservoir systems. Also, the method is applied to a nonlinear analysis of a concrete gravity dam. The results show the location and severity of damage demonstrating the applicability to the seismic evaluation of existing and new dams.

This study aims to assess the slope stability variation of Jeonbuk drainage areas by RCM model outputs based on A1B climate change scenario and infinite slope stability model based on the previous research by Choi et al.(2013). For a large-scale slope stability analysis, we developed a GIS-based database regarding topographic, geologic and forestry parameters and also calculated daily maximum rainfall for the study period(1971~2100). Then, we assess slope stability variation of the 20 sub-catchments of Jeonbuk under the climate change scenario. The results show that the areal-average value of safety factor was estimated at 1.36(moderately stable) in spite of annual rainfall increase in the future. In addition, 7 sub-catchments became worse and 5 sub-catchments became better than the present period(1971~2000) in terms of safety factor in the future.

We developed a computer program (CDFlow v. 1.0) to design countermeasures against debris flows in natural terrain. The program can predict the probability of landslides occurring in natural terrain and can estimate the zone of damage caused by a debris flow. It can also be used to design the location and size of countermeasures against the debris flow. The program is run using the ArcGIS Engine, which is one of the most well-known Geographic Information System (GIS) tools for developers. The quasi-dynamic wetness index and the infinite slope stability equation were applied to predict landslide probability as a type of slope safety factor. The calculated safety factor was compared with the required safety factor, and areas of high probable potential for landslides were then selected and represented on the digital map. The volume of debris flow was estimated using these areas of high probable potential for landslides and soil depth. The accumulated volume of debris flow can be calculated along the flow channel. To assess the accuracy of the program, it was applied to a real landslide site at Deoksan-ri, Inje-gun, Kangwon-Province, where four debris barriers have been installed in the watershed of the site. The results of soil tests and a field survey indicate that the program has great potential for estimating probable landslide areas and the trajectory of debris flows. Calculation of the capacity volume of existing debris barriers revealed that they had insufficient capacity to store the calculated amount of debris flow. Therefore, this program enables a rational estimation of the optimal location and size of debris barriers.

The distribution aspect and extinction threat evaluation of the endangered species, Rhodeus pseudosericeus were investigated from 2012 to 2017 in Korea for the subject of this study. The number of appearance sites in the past literature of available and identified R. pseudosericeus was 26. During the study period, the samples of R. pseudosericeus were collected in 44 sites (Hangang River 35 sites, Sapgyocheon Stream 4 sites, Daecheoncheon Stream 5 sites) among the noted 214 sampling stations investigated. Among these, the newly appearance streams were Ilricheon Stream, Samsancheon Stream, Bangyecheon Stream and Hanpocheon Stream in the Hangang River. In addition, the habitats and populations in the upper Seomgang River (Hoengseong Dam), lower Heukcheon Stream, Muhancheon Stream and Daecheoncheon Stream decreased due to dam construction, river work, water pollution, and the spread of the exotic species Micropterus salmoides. The main habitat of R. pseudosericeus was the middle-upper stream of clean water with slow water velocity, sand-pebble bottoms and lots of aquatic plants. Given this evidence as noted for the 30.2% reduction in occupancy within 10 years, due to the qualitative decline of habitat, the overfishing risk of ornamental fish and the spread of M. salmoides, in this case R. pseudosericeus is considered to be Vulnerable (VU A2cde) based on the IUCN Red List categories and criteria.

A fully coupled effective stress dynamic analysis procedure for modeling seismic liquefaction on slope is presented. An elasto-plastic formulation is used for the constitutive model UBCSAND in which the yield loci are radial lines of constant stress ratio and the flow rule is non-associated. This is incorporated into the 2D version of Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC) by modifying the existing Mohr-Coulomb model. This numerical procedure is used to simulate centrifuge test data from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). UBCSAND is first calibrated to cyclic direct simple shear tests performed on Nevada sand. Both pre- and post-liquefaction behaviour is captured. The centrifuge test is then modeled and the predicted accelerations, excess porewater pressures, and displacements are compared with the measurements. The results are shown to be in general agreement. The procedure is currently being used in the design of liquefaction remediation measures for a number of dam, bridge, tunnel, and pipeline projects in Western Canada.

국내 저수지 17,477개소 중 30~40 여년전에 축조된 곳은 16,646개소로 95.2%가 노후화로 인한 지속적인 유지보수가 필요하며, 기후변화에 따른 대응능력이 현저하게 낮다. 하구둑, 방조제, 대형 농업용저수지 같은 대규모 농업기반시설들은 축조 당시보다 설계홍수량이 2~3배 이상 증가함에 따라 기후변화에 대비하기 위해 조속한 치수능력 증대가 필요하다. 하지만 대형 농업용저수지의 치수능력 증대를 위해서는 지형적 입지조건, 시공 가능성, 경제성 등을 고려하여 여수로의 위치, 규모, 형식 변경 등이 수반된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 무한천 상류 예당저수지의 여수로 위치변경에 따른 저수지 하류 하천 흐름변화에 대하여 2차원 수치모의 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 TELEMAC-2D 모형을 적용하여 저수지 하류 하천의 흐름을 모의하였고, RMA-2 모의결과와 비교검토 하였다. TELEMAC-2D 모형은 상류(subcritical flow)와 사류(supercritical flow) 흐름 모의가 가능하며, 홍수범람 뿐만아니라 동일 격자망으로 유한요소법과 유한체적법 모두 수치모의가 가능한 특징이 있다. 본 연구에서는 시간과 공간에 대하여 2차 정확도를 가지는 WAF(Weighted Average Flux) 유한체적기법과 $k-{\varepsilon}$ 난류모형을 적용하였다. 수치모의시 유역종합치수계획의 30년, 50년, 100년 빈도 계획홍수량에 대하여 여수로 위치변경 전(CASE-1)과 위치변경 후(CASE-2) 저수지 하류하천 흐름변화에 대해 모의하였다. 본 연구는 국내 하천 특성을 반영한 기설 저수지의 하류하천의 흐름에 대한 수치모의의 기초자료로 활용되어, 저수지 방류 흐름이 하류하천에 미치는 영향 분석 등에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
