In this study, the behavioral characteristics of the fill dam were analyzed during water level fluctuations through a numerical analysis model, and the reservoir safety management plan was prepared. The variation in plastic deviatoric strain, horizontal displacement, stress path, pore water pressure, etc., due to elevation of water level in the upper and lower sides of shell and core were analyzed using numerical analysis software, viz. GTS NX and LIQCA. The analysis results manifest that as the water level in the dam body increases rapidly, the pore water pressure and displacement also increase quickly. It was found that the elevation of the water level causes an increase in pore water pressure in the dam body as well as an increase in the saturation of the dam body and decreased effective stress. It is considered that this type of dam behavior can be the cause of the reduction of strength and stiffness of the dam. Also, it is assumed that the accumulated plastic deviatoric strain due to the deformation of the dam body caused by water infiltration causes an increase in displacement. Based on these experimental results and the results of analyses of the existing reservoir safety diagnosis techniques, an improvement plan for dam safety diagnosis and evaluation criteria was proposed, and these results can be used as primary data while revising dam safety diagnosis guidelines.

일정 지역 교량 붕괴 DB를 활용하여 붕괴 원인을 파악하고 붕괴율과 붕괴확률을 결정하였다. 붕괴 원인을 타연구와 비교하였으며 주요 원인은 수압에 의해 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 매년 발생가능한 교량 붕괴율은 1/4,700정도 였으며, 이 수치는 미국 전역에 적용 가능할 것으로 추정한다. 현행 교량설계법과 비교하기 위해 설계수명 75년 동안의 파괴확률을 계산한 결과 1/63정도로서 LRFD 설계법에서 제시하는 파괴확률 1/5,000보다 높았다. 붕괴된 교량의 준공시점과 설계법 변천에 따른 붕괴율 차이는 확인하기 어려웠다. 미국 전체 교량에 대해 붕괴율을 적용한 결과 매년 87건에서 222건 정도의 붕괴가 발생할 것으로 예상한다.

A series of field tests were performed to suggest a rational method for the stability evaluation of soft clay. The behavior of settlement-displacement obtained by field monitoring system was used to compare and analyze with various stability evaluation methods, and to investigate the applicability of the methods for stability evaluation of soft clay. The limit equilibrium method, numerical analysis and field monitoring methods were used to analyze the stability evaluation. The horizontal displacement was abruptly increased when physicla properties of soft clay reached its maximum values and therefore, the values of these properties could be used to the fundamental data for stability evaluation. The evaluation of the stability of clay embankment was suggested to use inclination of ccrve rather than critical line, and the minimum satey factor of 1.2 or larger for natural clay was recommeded . Therefore, the evaluation of short term stability of soft clay could be effectively peformed with the hypefrbolic model and the field monitored data.

This study proposed a new embankment stability control method to analyze the measurement data on the slope activities of the soft ground, using the Stability Control Index (SCI) obtained from the p-q stress paths. In order to validate this new technique, the data from triaxial compression tests (CU) and field measurement were compared. SCI is calculated from the current path of the effective stress points ($p^{\prime}=p-{\Delta}u$) using the relative position between the Total Stress Path $p_{max}$ and the point of $k_f$ line $p_f$. From this result, the point of effective stress $p^{\prime}(=p-{\Delta}u)$ will have access to the point $p_f$ of $k_f$ line when the pore water pressure occurs or the point of total stress pass $p^{\prime}_{max}$ when the pore pressure dissipates. Thus, the Stability Control Index (SCI) can evaluate quantitatively the safety of embankment from the relative position of the effective stress path.

현재 한국농촌공사에서는 농업용수의 효율적인 관리를 위하여 물관리자동화사업을 시행하고 약 8만ha를 대상으로 418개의 수리시설을 전동화하였다. 물관리자동화사업에서의 물관리는 공급자 위주로서 이미 결정되어진 물의 양을 시기에 따라 적절하게 공급하여 주며 이를 계측하고 제어하기 위한 시설이다. 그러나 현재 실제로 물관리가 일어나는 곳을 말단포장으로서 급수물꼬의 개폐에 따라 농업용수의 공급과 단절이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 사실에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 급수물꼬를 논의 담수심에 따라 자동으로 개폐시키는 자동물꼬, 논의 담수심과 수로의 유황상황을 체크하여 정보전달을 수행하는 수로수위측정 및 담수심 측정장치, 상기의 논과 수로의 유황정보에 의하여 논에 물을 공급하는 태양광 전동수문, 수로의 수위증감에 따라서 수로의 수압을 일정하게 형성시켜 용수공급을 원활하게 해주며 또 기존의 제수문과는 다르게 항상 수위를 일정하게 유지하면서도 하류방향으로 물을 공급해주는 무동력 자동수문을 개발하여 시스템으로서 구성하여 설치하였다. 현재 담수심 측정 및 수로수위측정장치로부터의 정보전달은 무선으로 하며 이 정보를 기초로 하여 태양광 전동수문의 모터제어부에서 판단을 하여 수문의 개폐를 지시한다. 또한 무동력 자동수문의 경우에는 부력부가 별도로 설치되어 있어서 주수부를 통하여 수로내 수위와 같은 레벨로 물이 유입되고 이를 플로트가 감지하여 수문비 후방에 설치되어 있는 밸런스 웨이트를 제어하여 수문을 개폐한다. 본 무동력 자동수문은 수위를 유지하는 설정수심을 자유로이 변경할 수 있도록 주수부를 개량하였으며 부력부에 오물유입이 되지 않도록 스크린을 주수부의 물유입장소에 설치하였다. 현재까지 시스템의 작동상황에 대한 성능은 양호하다. 다만 향후의 문제점으로서 시스템이 설치된 지역과 설치되지 않은 지역과의 용수사용량을 비교분석하는 작업으로 본 시스템의 경제적 효과 및 효율성을 증명할 필요가 있으며 본 시스템의 실용화시 시스템 사용방안에 대해서는 대규모 평야부와 저수지 지구의 물공급특성이 다르기 때문에 이를 감안한 시스템 구성을 할필요가 있다.

In order to select a proper ground improvement technology and to assess the quality and rate of improvement in the soft deposits. it is essential to characterize in-situ properties of the soft marine clay layer that may have many thin silt or sand seams. In this paper, both piezocone and flat dilatometer tests were performed to characterize in situ properties of a marine clay. Both tests provided quite similar site classifications, and in both tests the penetration pore water pressure was the better indicator for the classification of marine clay layer, especially in which sand or silt seams are frequently interbedded. Undrained strengths determined by both the cone tip resistance and the excess pore water pressure measured from piezocone were very similar in clayey soil layers. And the untrained strength determined by dilatometer had an approximately average value of undiained strengths obtained from piezocone. In addition, the theoretical time factor that can consider pore pressure dissipation effect during cone penetration may provide a reliable estimation of the coefficient of consolidation, especially for a coastal site which includes many silt or sand fractions or seams.

In this study, a large consolidation test was carried out to estimate the consolidation behaviour of dredged clay ground improved by horizontal drain using plastic board drain with a vacuum pressure. The test results were analyzed by a numerical simulation using potential consolidation theory applied to a hollow cylinder. The rapid decreases in pore pressure and the drain speed in the plastic board indicate that the consolidation occurred quickly after the vacuum state was applied to the test soil. According to the numerical analysis obtained by applying the linear potential consolidation theory to a clay hollow cylinder with external radial drainage, the pore pressure is affected by the strain and the permeability of the soil rather than by the diffusion types. Therefore, measured surface settlement agreed with the numerical solution at the point where consolidation pressure increasing rate u: -0.5. Also the behaviour of the clay layer settlement in the place where the drain was installed was similar to that shown in Barron's consolidation theory. Finally, the design and construction procedure including the selection of the appropriate arrangement of horizontal drains were discussed based on the results of the laboratory tutsts. It is also shown that the potential consolidation theory make it possible to predict consolidation behaviour in the field using horizontal drains exactly.

As an advanced study on the method of calculating the target revenue water ratio of local waterworks through the leakage component analysis method proposed by Kim et al. (2022), this study developed a model to calculate the achievable revenue water ratio within the specified project cost, the required project cost to achieve the specified target revenue water ratio, and the economically appropriate target revenue water ratio level by considering the leakage reduction cost and leakage reduction benefit for each revenue water ratio improvement strategy, and conducted an applicability evaluation of the developed model using actual field data. The procedure for calculating the target revenue water ratio of local waterworks considering economics proposed in this study consists of three stages: physical data linkage model construction, leakage component analysis, and economic analysis, and the applicability was evaluated for Zone H with branch type and the Zone M network type. As a result of the application, it was calculated that approximately 32.5 billion won would be required to achieve the target revenue water ratio of 70% in the Zone H, and approximately KRW 10.5 billion would be required to achieve the target revenue water ratio of 75% in the Zone M. If the business scale of Zones H and M was corrected to 10,000 m³/day of water usage, the required project cost for a 1% improvement in the revenue water ratio of Zone H was calculated to be 0.7642 billion won and 0.4715 billion won for Zone M.
