For the last 60years, North Korea has constructed a lot of roadway bridges with different standard from that used in South Korea, and since North Korea prefer to take advantage of train more than truck for long distance transport, the construction and maintenance of roadway bridges have not been constructed effectively. Upon these situations, an exact evaluation of the resisting capacity for bridges in North Korea has been required to check of any bridge can be used in time of war. This paper introduces an evaluation of bridges in North Korea on the basis of Military Load Classification (MLC). Three different types of concrete bridges are considered, and the numerical analysis and design calculation give the military loadings which can pass through the bridges in North Korea.

In this study, a customiz ed bridge system was developed for North Korea application. For the application of North Korea, the customized bridge system design, fabrication, and construction performance evaluation were performed using ultra-high performance concrete a compressive strength 120MPa or more and a direct tensile strength 7MPa or more. The comparison of the North Korean truck luggage load(30, 40, 55) and the Korean standard KL-510 load showed that cross-section increased as the load increased. Furthermore, a bridge with a span length of 30m was fabricated with ultra-high performance concrete for the construction performance evaluation. The evaluation of the load condition analysis was performed by a flexural test. The results showed that a bridge with a span length of 30m secured about 167% of sectional performance under initial cracking load conditions and about 134% of load bearing capacity under ultimate load conditions. As a result of economic analysis, the customized bridge system using ultra-high-performance concrete was less than about 11% of the upper construction cost compared to the steel composite girder bridge. Therefore, these results suggest that the price competitiveness can be secured when applying the ultra-high-performance concrete long-span bridge developed through this study.

한강하구는 국가하천인 한강, 한강의 1지류인 임진강과 북한 황해도의 예성강이 만나 한강하류 수역을 형성하여 서해 중부해역과 합류하여 매우 복잡한 수리학적 특성을 지닌다. 또한 한강하구의 경우 교량, 수중보 등의 하천 구조물이 설치되어 있다. 수리학은 크게 수위와 관계되는 현상, 하상변화와 관계되는 현상, 외부 환경과 관계되는 현상으로 살펴 볼 수 있다(최계운, 2005). 하천구조물이 설치됨에 따라 구조물 주변에서 국부적으로 수위가 상승되거나 유속이 변화, 세굴현상 등의 하상 변화, 구조물 설치에 따른 생태계의 단절 현상 등 수리학적 현상에 영향을 미치게 된다. 한강하구는 이러한 복잡한 흐름현상에 더해 군사적으로 민감한 지역의 특성으로 현장의 접근성에 한계가 있어 이 지역의 연구조사는 더욱 어렵다. 그간 한강하구의 흐름 현상을 규명하기 위한 연구 방법으로 수치모의를 통한 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 수리학적 흐름 현상을 계산하기 위한 필수 조건인 하류경계조건 설정에도 어려움이 수반된다. 이 때문에 한강의 수리학적 수치모의 실험에 관한 연구들은 한강하구의 얕은 수심과 해석의 공간적 범위를 소홀히 하고, 공릉천 합류부를 기준으로 하류지점에 대해서는 인천 조위관측소의 조위자료를 사용하거나 하천정비기본계획상의 기점수위를 일괄적으로 적용하여 지점에 따른 수위의 차이를 적용하지 못하는 한계를 지닌다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 남북접경지역 접근의 어려움으로 인하여 발생되는 한강하구 흐름해석의 불확실성을 명확히 하기 위한 방안으로 한강하구지역에 해당 군부대와 군사정전위원회의 출입허가 승인을 얻어 현장조사를 실시하였다. 사전조사를 통하여 성동교, 대산교, 공릉천, 화도돈대, 철곶돈대 전방 수변, 애기봉전망대 전방 수변을 조사 지점으로 선정하였다. 기존 연구에서는 한강하구의 공릉천 합류부 지점을 하류경계조건으로 채택하고 있으나, 현장조사를 통하여 얻을 자료를 분석한 결과 공릉천 합류부 지점의 수위는 강우발생에 대한 하천의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 하류경계조건으로 적정하지 않은 것으로 판단되었으며, 공릉천보다 하류지역에 위치한 지역에 대하여 하류경계조건으로 적정한 지역을 찾을 수 있었다. 수치해석 시에는 공간적 범위와 연구의 목적을 고려하여 각 지점의 실제 관측 자료를 활용한 경계조건을 사용하는 것이 적합한 것으로 판단되며 보다 많은 현장조사와 특성분석을 통한 정확한 경계조건의 구축이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

A distribution survey was conducted from March to August 2021 to evaluate the distribution status, habitat characteristics, and threat of extinction of the Korean cold-water fish Ladislabia taczanowskii Dybowski (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae). Historical distribution reports were divided into 1997~2005, 2006~2012, 2013~2019, and distribution surveyed 169 sampling sites, and 1,040 individuals were collected from 72 sites. Areas where the habitat was confirmed were Namhan River (27 stations), Han River (17 stations), Bukhan River (16 stations), Samcheok Osipcheon (4 stations), Yeongokcheon (3 stations), Gangneung Namdaecheon (2 stations), Jeoncheon (1 station), Chucheon (2 stations). The main habitat of L. taczanowskii was upstream of the river with a high altitude of more than 300 m, 2~30 m water flow width, 0.3~1.5 m water depth, and high ratio (50~90%) boulder bottoms. The main reasons for the decline in population size were assumed as river works, construction of reservoirs and bridges, discharge of contaminated water into the river, the inflow of summer vacationers, and weir. Compared to our results there exists evidence that states a 36.1% reduction in occupancy within 10 years, in a small appearance range (7,820 km²) and occupancy area (288 km²), number of disconnected locations (19 locations), and a decline in habitat quality. Therefore, L. taczanowskii is now considered as Vulnerable (VU) based on the results (VU A2ac, Near meets B1b (i, ii, iii)+B2b (i, ii, iii)) of IUCN Red List categories and criteria. Lastly, the conservation plan of Ladislabia taczanowskii was discussed.

In Korea, many water intake plants are easily affected by effluents of sewage treatment plants because sewage treatment plants are usually located upstream or nearby the plants of the same riverine area. Furthermore, the inflow of harmful contaminants owing to pollutant spills or transportation accidents of vehicles using the roads and bridges intersecting the river causes significant impact on the management of water intake plants. Paldang lake, the main water intake plants in Korea, is especially exposed to various water pollution accidents, because the drainage basin area is significantly large compared to the water surface area of the lake. Therefore it is necessary to predict the possible pollutant spill in advance and consider measurements in case of water pollution. In this study, water quality prediction was performed in Paldang Lake in Korea durig the dry season using two-dimensional numerical models. In order to represent the cases of pollutant accidents, the difference of pollutant transport patterns with varying injection points was analyzed. Numerical simulations for hydrodynamics of water flow and water quality predictions were performed using RMA-2 and RAM4 respectively. As a result of simulation, the difference of pollutant transport with the injection points was analyzed. As a countermeasure against the pollutant accident, the augmentation of the flow rate is proposed. In comparison with the present state, the rapid dilution and flushing effects on the pollutant cloud could be expected with increase of flow rate. Thus, increase of flow rate can be used for operation of water intake plants in case of pollutant spill accidents.
