Generally levee or revetment becomes weak by erosion (scour) due to saturation of ground with infiltration, flowing water. So when levee or revetment is constructed, slope reinforcement must be installed to prevent failure. In this study experimental test was performed for verifying shear resistance, horizontal permeability and rooting ability of Geocomb designed to address the shortcomings of 3-dimension Geocell. Geocomb is one of geosynthetics and the advanced system of geogrid. According to the results of shear test, internal friction angle of reinforced ground with Geocomb was increasing compared with existing material and horizontal permeability of ground with Geocomb was bigger than geocell, porous geocell reinforcing ground. Lastly rooting ability of geocomb is most excellent. These results determined for the inner surface of the cell is net structure.

Various geosynthetics used as liners or protection layers are installed in the solid waste landfills. The interface shear strength between geosynthetics installed at the slope of the landfill is a very important variable for the safe design of the bottom and cover systems in the solid waste landfills. The interface shear strength between Geomembrane and Geotexile is estimated by a large direct shear test in this study, The effects of normal stress, water existing between geosynthetics and surface condition of Geomembrae, i.e. smooth or textured, were investigated. The test results show that the effect varied depending on the level of normal stress and the type of geosynthetic combinations. The shear strength was evaluated by the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion in this research. The shear strength parameters obtained from tests considering the site specific conditions such as normal stress, dry or wet, and surface condition of geosynthetic should be applied to the design of geosynthetics installed at the slope of the landfill to construct a safe solid waste landfill.

The levee is the facility which is constructed along with river for the protection of landside and for passage of water when there is a flood. When the seepage is exposed to the atmosphere on the landside surface of levee, it may eventually lead to levee failure. The seepage water may be removed from the landside surface by a properly designed drainage system. The purpose of the study is to show seepage control effect of a pervious toe drain, and to compare two drainage methods of a pervious toe drain. One is the pervious toe drain suggested by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the other is that suggested by Japan Institute of Construction Engineering (JICE). The levee model constructed has the following dimension: the base width is 2.6 m; the crest width is 0.4 m; the side slope 1 : 2. The water depth in the riverside is 0.5 m. The shape of the toe drain by USACE is triangular. The shape of the toe drain by JICE is rectangular. They were installed with the base length of 0.4 m. The levee model without the toe drain showed saturation surface on the land side in the experiment but not with the toe drain. The experiment results was applied to a numerical analysis model using SEEP/W to calibrate and verify. The numerical analysis results for 35 cm and 30 cm drain width showed that the drain by JICE is a little bit safer than the drain by USACE. It is also easier to construct the toe drain by JICE. The results in the study would be applied to plan the seepage control for a levee with pervious toe drain.

We analyzed the effect of changing water level and turbidity on plants that serve to maintain slope stability on levees. In this experiment, soil collected from upstream of Imha Dam was placed in a water tank and planted with river plants of the Salix species: Salix gracilistyla, S. koreensis, and S. glanduosa. Plant regrowth was analyzed stage-by-stage during a recovery period. In addition, we assessed the tolerance of the plants to concentrated torrential rainfall and examined their recovery rates. The results indicate that in the case of these three Salix species, which are the most prevalent river plants in Korea, stem growth is arrested following serious damage and high turbidity. The possibility of regrowth was very low during the 20-day non-submerged recovery period. Although the number of leaves initially decreased during this period, subsequent regrowth was reasonably high: recovery in S. gracilistyla, S. koreensis, and S. glanduosa was up to 59.3%, 251.3%, and 148.4% respectively, compared with the initial condition.

Optimum engineering methods for bank protection were classified based on steepness of bank slope and an existence of waterfront facility in the floodplain, and a new concept of eco-hybrid rolling mat method which could be applicable for the unfitted cases with previously developed countermeasures was suggested in this study. The eco-hybrid rolling mat method can be constructed while maintaining the river environment and ecosystem that does not interfere with the ground and slopes, when bank erosion occurs, it is an economical and efficient construction method that can protect the revetment and the bank slope immediately. The developed eco-hybrid rolling mat method was verified for the designed structure, system, function and effect based on large-scale river experiments including field exposure and decomposition test. As a result, the normal operation and effect of the rolling mat ted under low and high velocity conditions were confirmed with respect to bank protection. The effect of bank erosion prevention was quantitatively validated by sediment concentration monitoring and analysis, and the product specification of the eco-hybrid rolling mat was presented based on the standardized mat applied in real-scale tests.

Soil cement which is a mixture of soil, cement, and water has a broad range of applications since it is economical, ecological, and easy to use, repair, and reinforce. Its applications include pavements, stabilization of slopes, retaining walls, and improvements of soft ground to name a few. Other types of chemicals are often added to increase its strength. This study investigated unconfined compressive strength of cured soil cement mixed with New Soil Chemical(NSC). The investigation involved laboratory experiments under various conditions including soil type, cement content, and ratios of water to NSC. Results of the study show that NSC enhanced the unconfined compressive strength significantly, and the degree of enhancement was varied with test conditions.

홍수 시 하천의 급격한 유량증가로 인하여 하상의 변화를 야기할 수 있으며, 이를 저감하기 위한 하천사업에는 자연친환경적이고 고유속흐름에서도 변동되지 않는 하상재료를 도입한 연구들이 다양하게 진행되고 있으며, 과거 제방보호 기능만을 가진 단순한 호안에서 식생을 이용한 다양한 종류의 호안공법이 개발되어 각종 하천에 도입되고 있다. 호안공법을 도입할 때 고유속흐름과 식생의 유무에 따라 하천의 흐름에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것은 하천설계에 있어 중요한 부분이다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인한 극우강우가 많아지고 호안의 안정성을 위한 평가기법이 제시되지 않기 때문에 호안사면의 수리학적 안정성과 지반공학적 파괴거동의 적절한 평가가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 식생 유무에 따라 유속, 레이놀즈수, 바닥전단응력 등을 산정하여 흐름특성을 파악하고 호안 및 제방에 대한 적용성을 검토하고자 실험연구를 진행하였다. 실험에 사용된 재료는 모래, 식생점토. 본 연구를 위해 자체적으로 양생시킨 잔디를 이용하였으며, 실내 고속수로 실험 장치를 이용하여 유속의 변화에 따라 실험을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 초기상태의 재료와 세굴 이후의 세굴심을 비교하여 고유속흐름에서의 식생 유무에 따른 하상재료 유실변화 정도를 비교하고자 하였다.

Rocks undergo weathering processes influenced by changing in pressure-temperature condition, atmosphere, underground water, and rainfall. The weathering processes change physical and chemical characteristics of the rocks. Once the rocks are weathered, the characteristics of them are changed and, because of the changing, several disadvantages such as rock slope failures and underground water spouts are can occur. Before we cut a large rock slope, therefore, we must analyze current weathering conditions of rocks and predict weathering processes in the future. Through the results of such analyses, we can judge reinforcement works. In order to comply with such requests, chemical weathering sensitivity analysis which was analyzed from chemical weathering velocities and other characteristics of rocks has been applied in several prior construction works in Korea. But, It is defective to use directly in engineering fields because it was developed for soils(not rocks), it has too mny factors must be considered and the relationships between the factors are not clear, and it is hard to explain the weathering processes in engineering time range. Besides above, because it has been used for isotropic rocks, this method is hard to apply to anisotropic rocks such as sedimentary rocks. Acceding to studies from morphologists (e.g. Oguchi et al., 1994; Sunamura, 1996; Norwick and Dexter, 2002), time dependent strength reduction influenced by weathering shows a negative exponential function form. Appling this relation, one can synthesize the factors which influence the weathering processes to the strength reduction, and get meaningful estimates in engineering viewpoint. We suggest this weathering sensitivity characterization method as a technique that can explain time dependent weathering sensitivity characteristics through strength changes and can directly applied the rock slope design.

터널 설계에 있어 갱구부의 위치 및 갱문형식의 선정은 터널 및 갱구사면의 안정성뿐만 아니라, 주위환경과의 조화 및 자연환경 훼손 최소화 등과 같은 환경적인 측면에서도 매우 중요한 부분이다. 현행 국내의 경우 경제성과 시공성 위주의 갱구부 위치 선정으로 과다 절취구간이 발생되어 환경훼손, 민원문제 발생, 과다한 용지 매입비용 등의 여러 가지 부작용이 발생되고 있다. 또한, 갱문 형식의 선정에 있어서 갱구부의 지형여건 및 제반 환경적 영향을 고려하지 않고 원통절개형과 면벽식 갱문의 획일적인 적용으로 주변지형과의 부조화를 이루는 사례가 다수 발생하고 있으며, 갱구부 상단의 유실된 토석이 완충공간의 부족으로 도로 노면상에 낙하되는 사고가 발생하고 있어 그에 대한 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 보완하기 위해 갱구부 절취구간 최소화를 위한 구체적인 최소토피고 기준을 마련하였으며, 갱구상단 지형경사의 완급, 갱문주위의 배수기능, 낙석${\cdot}$산사태 등의 발생가능성 등을 고려한 새로운 갱문형식을 제안하고 체계적인 검토를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 점차 강화되는 환경보호정책 방향에 부응하고 자연환경 훼손을 최소화하며, 특히 해빙기와 집중호우시 낙석${\cdot}$눈사태로부터 도로의 안전을 확보할 수 있는 터널 갱문부 설계기준을 제시하였다. 또한, 실제 고속도로 터널의 설계 적용사례를 통하여 본 설계기준의 적용성을 분석하였으며, 실제 갱문 시공사례를 소개하여 향후 설계 및 시공에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

중소규모 하천에서 많이 설치되어 있는 경사형보를 대상으로 하류부 세굴에 대한 수리모형실험과 수치모의를 통하여 경사형보 하류부 세굴특성과 세굴영향인자들에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 수리모형실험은 폭 0.8m, 길이 20m의 가변경사 직선 개수로에서 1 : 2(H/L)경사를 가지는 경사형보의 높이, 월류수심, 하류부 수심 변화에 따른 최대 세굴심과 세굴길이의 변화를 관측하였고, 수치모의는 유사이동 모의가 가능한 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 경사형 보의 경사 변화에 따른 하류부 세굴특성을 모의하였다. 수리모형실험 결과 최대 세굴심 및 세굴길이에 가장 영향을 크게 미치는 인자는 월류고이며, 하류부 수심은 최대 세굴심과 세굴길이의 감소효과 뿐만 아니라 세굴공의 형상에도 영향을 미쳤다. 낙하류의 유입 각도가 예연보에 비하여 작은 경사보는 예연보에 비하여 수평방향 유속이 상대적으로 증가하여 세굴길이가 증가하였으며 이로 인하여 세굴공 하류부 천이영역의 사면경사가 상대적으로 완만하게 형성되었다. 세굴공의 상류부에 재순환 영역이 발생되어 천이영역에서 이송되는 유사의 최대세굴심 발생 위치에 퇴적되는 현상을 방해하며 세굴공의 모양은 완전히 발달된 이중(double) 세굴공을 생성하였으며, 특히 낙하류의 유입각도와 하류부 수위의 영향으로 하류수심($h_t$)과 낙차고(H)의 비($h_t/H$)가 1.0 미만인 경우에 이중(double) 세굴공이 발생하였다. 경사형보의 경사각 영향에 따른 하류부 세굴 영향은 3차원 수치모형을 이용하여 모의하였으며, 경사각을 1V/2H, 1V/3H, 1V/4H로 변화시키며 수치모의를 수행하였다. 수치모의 결과 경사각이 증가할수록 최대 세굴심은 증가하는 경향을 보이고 그에 따른 증가율은 감소하였다. 보 높이, 월류고, 하류부 수심, 경사각 변화에 따른 세굴심의 변화는 상대민감도 방법을 이용하여 비교하였으며 주요 영향인자에 대한 민감도비는 월류고가 보 하류부 세굴에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고, 경사각, 보 높이, 하류부 수심 순이다. 특히 보 하류부의 수심은 음의 민감도를 보이며, 이는 보 하류부 수심이 증가할수록 세굴심이 감소하는 것을 의미한다. 추후 보완 실험 및 수치모의를 추가 활용한다면, 경사형보 하류부 물받이 및 하상보호공 설계를 위한 정량적인 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
